Here we go! The time to be polite and patient has passed. We got info on a Husted fundraiser on Saturday evening in Bexley. So we’re going to show up and bird-dog him! www.facebook.com/events/11600...

Ex NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social protesting the inclusion of a MAGA acronym in the Huntington Beach library plaque at last night’s council meeting. He was arrested and cited.

Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo

John Fetterman’s a disgrace to the oaf community. He does not represent America’s lumbering buffoons, ham-fisted galoots, or men whose heavy footsteps are soundtracked by a tuba.

In a less tumultuous timeline, where tech isn't broadly captured by the state, we could easily split these two presidents of ours apart, weakening both. I still think we can do it, but it'll take longer. Hearing "President Elon" is going to eat at him enough eventually that Trump wants him gone.
