Here’s our entire 25 minute interview with Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social He’s 🔥. Very worth sending around because courage is contagious. Also send to your reps and ask them why a former NFL player is taking direct action while they are slouching towards fascism. youtu.be/Pprrm6TYmZU?...

The @dailystar.co.uk has apologised for calling Trump "Putin's Poodle" "We may have given the impression Trump was a thin-skinned, graceless, batsh*t-crazy, moronic orange poodle in thrall to Mad Vlad Putin. Poodles are loyal, dependable, clever and not orange. We apologise to any poodles offended"
