Friends, I I read this poem in ‘93 thinking we still have time. We can put the brakes on the collapse. But today, here we are. So many of Bukowski’s stanzas are manifesting. But let’s not simply acquiesce. Connect with your community. Love one another. #poetry youtu.be/QsGTqVJLmD8?...

I hope people are learning some things with what Musk and Zuckerberg are doing here. They’re enabling and helping facists. Get off Twitter and Facebook and Instagram.

Trump oligarch Mark Zuckerberg has suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the national day of action.

The President of the United States is a liar.

The President of the United States is a traitor and a rapist.

And they voted for him anyway 😕

We are facing a psychiatric emergency. We are facing a constitutional emergency. Anyone with eyes and ears who’s paying attention can see it. Our republic is teetering. The good news: We the people have the power to stop this accelerating descent before it’s too late.

Still waiting: —for evidence Mitch McConnell is alive. —Republicans to confess how batshit crazy Trump is. —John Fetterman to announce he’s become a Republican. …Supreme Court supermajority to admit they really don’t care about upholding the Constitution. …Americans to prove enough is enough.

You know, there is a constitutional mechanism to remove a president who is unable to discharge the duties of his office.

The President of the United States is a traitor and a rapist.

Now Playing: The Very Best of Nina Simone #blueskymusic #punksky Punk was a movement that started long ago. Nina had shit to say and fucking said it. Mississippi Goddam is a as punk as it gets.

Dystopian joke: A prisoner goes to the jail's library to borrow a book. The librarian says: "We don't have this book, but we have its author".

Every bit of this 👇

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Can I get an amen?

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

The only other time a second-term president had approval ratings this low at this point in the cycle, he resigned a week later.

Maine Sen Susan Collins voted to give ICE $70 billion Vote her out No more ICE in our streets, killing and kidnapping our friends Today ICE thugs in Maine killed a 26 year old husband who was here legally and had a social security card. His 3 year old daughter was in the car Defund ICE.

Lindsey Graham didn't report he had a conversation with Mitch McConnell, but I can report he's probably having one now.

Fuck you fat boy. Come and say this to my antifa face on this battlefield....
