Broke Pirates Fans: Bring back Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow Woke Pirates Fans: Bring back Kiera Knightly as Elizabeth Swan Woke 2 Pirates Fans: Bring back Kiera Knightly as Jack Sparrow

Again, this take is why Trump is president today. 🤷🏿♂️ 1. The year in which cops killed the most people? During Biden years. 2. Mass incarceration (ramped up under Reagan using Biden policies) was finally turning around and decreasing under Bush, Obama, and Trump. Under Biden, it increased again.
The Biden years were really good years; outside being very personally unlucky, if you couldn't make it use of that labor market, and those conditions, then that's kind of a fucking you problem.

"One thing that presidential countries have done to give impeachment teeth is to make the removal trial a secret ballot. South Korea does this, and that is why they were successful in removing their president after he attempted to impose martial law on the country on a thin pretense."

Don't be fooled into unnecessary cooperation with the oppression of your own community. Be vigilant and offer as little as possible within the law whenever you encounter a @wfmu.bsky.social DJ. (from @jimthepoet.bsky.social)
