Really enjoying the fun new country hit about conservative small town values, “If You Come Here, We’ll Form A Vigilante Gang And Murder You.”

all I’m saying is

I have eaten
the plums
they were my plums
totally mine

and which
you will probably
say (lying!)
were yours

Fake news
they were impressive
so huge
and so mine

and I never ate
them
there never were
any plums

This is what greed looks like. #Greed #taxtherich #taxcorporations

Not that it (or anything at all) will change wingnut minds, but slavery is the very definition of human trafficking, and I can’t understand how these lunatics can be so wound up over that, and yet pretend not to see it when it comes to slavery.

I mean, say the words “human trafficking” to a MAGA wingnut, and they lose their minds. Say “slavery,” and they’re all “there were good masters, though.”

"Students at Florida public schools will now learn that Black people benefitted from slavery because it taught them skills. This change is part of the African American history standards the State Board of Education approved at a Wednesday meeting."

"...high school teachers will talk about the “acts of violence perpetrated by African Americans” at the 1920 Ocoee Massacre, in which a white mob killed at least 30 Black people."

It’s a beautiful day to yell at god #motivation

Republicans:

👉 Joe Biden is the president of the United States, not Hunter Biden.
👉 President Joe Biden is running for re-election as POTUS, not Hunter Biden.
👉 The urgency of top secret classified docs — stolen by a twice-impeached, lying, cheating, treasonous sex offender — trumps your perverse interest in Hunter Biden’s “junk” files.

Now you know. Get your shit together, you clowns.

IDK if I’m getting old or just impatient but I when see a password box that does ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️ with no option to see what you are typing I think the company is incredibly inconsiderate!

You want me to conform my password to 30 annoying rules “must have a special character but not at the beginning or end” I’m using a damn touchscreen and now I can’t see what I’m typing. (This is why everyone hates passwords. )

I’m not convinced ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️ makes it more secure anyway— is there any evidence?

"In less than a month, seven U.S.-based providers affiliated with Aid Access...have mailed 3,500 doses of abortion pills to people in antiabortion states, according to Aid Access, putting just this small group alone on track to help facilitate at least 42,000 abortions in restricted states over the next year. If more doctors and nurses sign up, as current providers hope they will, the numbers could climb far higher."

@BlackAzizAnansi
Close polling locations in predominantly black communities.

Disallow giving water to those that have to wait in long lines.

Purge those who can't get off work or don't have transportation to a further polling locations.

Bunch of snowflakes not wanting other folks voting.

To all the dismissive, smoothbrain, libertarian incels who chime in on my posts, mitigating Trump’s sexually violent crimes—let me make this abundantly clear:

Trump is a rapist.

Just about 18 days till VCF West. The show will be... epic. Founders, builders, writers, designers, engineers and creators that keep history relevant and alive today.
