@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE.

"Glorious Leader Institute"

The sounds of US sitcoms from the sixties.

A Trump card? Really? After booting Morrison, and boarding the door to Dutton?

That's what barrelled into Melbourne in 1983.

'Dopey' Joe Biden was, like everything else with this guy, projection.

the U.S. government illegally killed him. His relatives say Alejandro Carranza was on a routine fishing trip, and his wife told reporters he left home to fish and had no ties to drug trafficking.

"Now then" growled the dog headed man "Let's see what we have here." He reached into the still dozing orange grandpa's chest for the heart to be weighed. Withdrawing it, he frowned at his empty fist. "Oh!" he sighed "One of *those*?" "We really must do something about that loophole."
