Schrödinger’s possum

That a sufficient number of officers are obeying unlawful orders to fire on and murder civilians on Trump’s command makes this more aspirational nostalgia than a description of reality. Respect was irrelevant to the admirals in the chain of command that ended with massacred Venezuelan civilians.

Now that’s an extended trot! I wonder if he’s bold to ditches and banks? #dressagesky #eventingsky

1/4 In Dem Party-speak, “Don’t Take the Bait” means “Don’t engage in First Amendment protected conduct.” A right your government tells you not to exercise or else it will be taken away isn’t a right. These feckless collaborationists are demanding Americans grease the skids for Trump’s fascist …

Again, very clear that the media only considers powerful people "real". I guarantee you that Reid Hoffman is not their next target and they are in fact probably illegally kidnapping someone as we speak.

”Pain only hurts.” Curtis Evans Imagine if this were the slogan of Democratic opposition to fascism. Yeah, I know, it’s like imagining rain falling up. taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-...

Is it just me or are raptures coming earlier and earlier? I mean, we’re barely out of back to school sales and now the stores are bedecked in rapture decorations, rapture songs on their muzaks, rapture merchandise taking over the seasonal aisles.

In the world where the highest good is creating rent-seeking opportunities for Trump and his orbit.

“Ooey gooey rich and chewy inside Golden flaky tender caky outside …”

A collective noun for possums is a passle. You’re welcome!

“They can’t do that” is, now more than ever, the refuge of collaborationists. It absolves the speaker of all moral responsibility. It relieves them from having to answer the only question that matters now: “Who is going to stop them?”

I heard it was a tough competition between these two.

“Yeah, I can fix it, but it won’t be cheap.”

This is why the officer who gave the order to murder the 11 civilians at sea and the service member who executed that order won’t ever be held accountable.

8 cops making over $100k each to arrest one man. But your food, water & air are killing you. Your daughter is carrying her rapist’s baby to term & will probably die when it becomes complicated & your veteran son in jail for being unhoused. But at least that Brown guy sitting on a bench is gone.🙄

A photo you took that brings you inner peace

Today in Carcassonne, I met an 82 year old woman who was so happy and grateful for the chance to speak with an American because America helped France in WWII. My French isn’t good enough for the apology I wanted to give her for what America is doing now - to France, to the world, to humanity.

We’re going to need a cadre of Jesse Owens from Central American and African countries to kick our ass.

Followed quickly by the classification of political opponents as “individuals with mental illness.”

Years ago, I interviewed for an in-house counsel position at DB. I have never, ever gotten stronger and more negative vibes about a company than I did about DB. It was immediate, before I met with anyone, as if the souls that lawyers there sold were screaming at me “Run, run now, run fast, run far!”

“Drats! Foiled again!”

Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge had S21. America’s GOP now has B-18.

Not if the real electoral bloodbath, the complete breakdown of national elections, happens first. If they act like they don’t care about facing consequences at the ballot box, maybe it’s because they know they won’t have to.

People are being disappeared by vigilante posses in service to our fascist regime, but the scariest thing to Dems like @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, @ericswalwell.bsky.social, Lauren Gillen and Dem big money is that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won the NYC Dem mayoral primary.

Why have GOPers slander @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social when Dems like @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, @ericswalwell.bsky.social and Lauren Gillen are happy to oblige None are from or live in NYC. Swalwell and Gillen represent 2 of the 10 wealthiest CDs and Gillibrand … www.forbes.com/sites/andrew...

This makes it clear that the Roberts court use of the shadow docket is not only meant to give Trump’s illegality free rein, but also to shield them from having to perjure themselves. You can’t lie in at oral argument if you never have to make them.

A-fucking-men.

These are the guys you all are relying on not to obey an unlawful orders to fire on civilians? Those cheering, jeering yahoos were hand selected based on their loyalty to Trump. Just like the ones spraying innocent civilians with automatic weapons fire will be. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

1/3 It’s a fantasy designed with a very specific purpose: to absolve its adherents of any responsibility for the outcome when the military starts murdering American civilians engaging in constitutionally protected activity. If rank and file won’t obey unlawful orders, then the order to mow down …

And when someone lands a battalion of Marines in your city, you are in a fight Marines train for, whether or not you want to be.

Hey #Veteran #Military Fort Bragg’s PAO email is [email protected]. Send an email expressing your disgust at the troops booing and cheering as if it was a Trump campaign rally. I did, see below. Pass this along. You don’t have to be a veteran to write.

This is going to get ugly. These assholes can’t restrain themselves from booing at Trump’s direction and you’re going to tell me they’re going to a) recognize that an order to fire on civilians is unlawful and b) have the strength of character to refuse to obey that order?

Clock’s started on when the regime violates the Third Amendment …

If you don't do anything, they'll say you want it If you do do anything, they'll say you made them do it If you do something this way, they'll lie and do their thing anyway If you do something that way, they'll lie and do their thing anyway If you wait, they'll do it If you don't, they'll do it

There’s nothing Schiff wants more than to make this all go away because it’s embarrassing to his “leadership.” Unless/until Schiff gets his ass into the street with his constituents, sees that violence is being incited by the regime and takes a less lethal munition to his body, he should just STFU.
