It would be a shame if protesters started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top), upside down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain teargas by placing them over the canisters.

It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood.

It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving, and what routes they intend to take.

It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over their heads on the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hard-backed books, and ceramic tiles.

It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of quarter-inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters.

To keep myself sane this year, I am turning my back yard into a little park. Decluttering, planting perennials, setting up bird and squirrel feeders. A space to go for a cup of tea when the outside world is screaming. I just need a sanctuary for my sanity. Pictures to come soon.

How do you deport someone from their own country? Deport to WHERE? Kidnapping American citizens and selling them into foreign countries for labor camps sounds a little more like human trafficking than 'deporting' to me.

While I am a very political person, I find that the more I engage in political discourse, the more depressed my real life becomes. Also, I feel a growing danger to my person and property, even my freedom. While I will still engage, I do feel I need to limit my exposure for my health and well-being.

We know his game. Tell your investment company to play it too. Don't sell your stocks when it tanks, freeze the account until it comes back up. Buy low, sell high. Play the game. They HATE it when the little guy makes money too. Know the game. Play the game.

When you make an enemy of CANADA, you have really put in some effort to be a complete asshole. The nicest, most polite people on earth are pissed at you? That might be on YOU.

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

Behind every misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic immature little boy-man, there is a hatred of the feminine. It is something to be avoided at all cost, they must not appear to be feminine in any way, and yet they must own and control all things feminine out of profound fear.

Rachel Maddow was frightening last night. She lined up all the ways we are capitulating to Russia and seen back to back like that, I felt sick in my heart.

Europe may have to do this without us. If Zelensky is the abused wife and Trump is the wife beater, Europe right now still believes couples therapy might help. They are still not accepting him as who he really is. The sooner they do, the better we can react effectively.

Want to help? Do it now.

We know who owns them now.

I STAND WITH ZELENSKY.

Trump: "Poor Putin! He has put up with so much!!" What a sick mind. How horrible.

Trump and Putin threaten Zelensky with WWIII after shameful American behavior in Oval Office. The U.S.A. is now part of the Axis, another reprehensible bully. I am ashamed of my country. Europe will have to lead the Free World without us now. www.axios.com/2025/02/28/t...

It's not just HIM. This was posted by his Chief of Staff.

WTF?? YOU ARE NOT A KING. AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE A KING.

The Pro-Life party is withholding tons of food and medicine from the poorest and most desperate people in the world. The anti-waste party is allowing already-purchased food and medicine to rot, rather than allow it to be distributed as planned to the starving people of the world. They are evil.

His theatrics with deportations are TV spectacle. How do you think that plays with all the Latinos who voted for him? Will they remember in April when Senate special elections are held? Will they remember in November 2026 when Congressional elections are held? Will they remember these pictures?

Kurt Cobain said, "Here we are now. Entertain us." It seems the predominantly white audience of the NFL, who has predominantly black athletes, was a deliberate target for Kendrick Lamar's message that blacks are expected to shut up and entertain us. The response to that message proves its necessity

I want to see a Blue State Coalition, where governors of Blue states get together and sue the federal government for infringing on the civil rights of every constituent on Constitutional violations. Tie him up in court for 4 years and stop every one of these illegal actions. WE NEED LEADERS!

I really have to wonder about his sanity now. We know there are people behind him feeding him things to rant about, but the things he comes up with on the fly are truly deranged and disconnected from reality. They rally behind him as a lightning rod, but when he's gone, will they still have power?

OFFS Now he's anti-spork and pro-peanut. Give this MF a Valium and take away his phone!

FIGHT BACK! RESIST!! www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Yesterday I asked where the Dem leadership was, and today they showed up! We need leaders who will unite us and give us all something to rally behind! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo3P...

WHERE IS THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP RIGHT NOW?? WHY ARE WE OUT HERE WANDERING AROUND LIKE ANTS ACTING INDIVIDUALLY?? WHERE IS OUR OPPOSITIONAL LEADERSHIP??

We have become so dependent on electronic payments, etc. It may be the time to go dark and get offline. Pay bills in person with cash. Use the internet for amusement, but not for business. Ask an old person how to do it, we know how to live off the grid. Going old-school might be the new thing now.

We need to stand together!! Support, follow, encourage, let them know we appreciate their bravery!

I expect Trump to do everything he can to dismantle our democracy, and it's frightening. What is more frightening to me is the utter lack of an organized coalescence of leadership in opposition. We NEED a leader to rally behind, and we will resist! We can't do this individually! Where are you?

Ever notice that when rich people take over, it's always the poor people who need to be patriotic enough to suffer? They go straight for social programs to help the poor, elderly, veterans and education. NEVER patriotic enough to tighten their own belts for our sake. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

In my house, Feb. is Black History Month and that's how it's going to stay. #Resist

If I owned a company who was under pressure to remove DEI requirements for hiring, I would make it clear that those requirements were never necessary because our company BELIEVED IN THAT ALL ALONG. I would advertise that this is our standard and always has been. It won't change now and never will.

The Resistance starts at home. It starts with educating your children so they cannot be brainwashed at school. It starts with Denali and Gulf of Mexico being used, with MLK and Juneteenth being observed. They can control the government, but we can disregard and do it anyway. Resistance is at home.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the wrong time to start cutting services like FAA and NTSB? Is this a bad idea to cut back on air traffic controllers right now?? Am I the only one, or is he insane?

I get the feeling he is not staffing a Cabinet, he is casting a reality TV show where he is the producer, director and star. They are cast based on their look, loyalty and reward for friendships. The casting couch involves kissing an orange ass.

Attacking DEI for the plane crash is tantamount to saying only white males are smart enough to fly planes. "Common sense" is not nearly as common as it used to be. The Age of Stupidity is upon us.

The horror of the plane and helicopter crash over the Potomac last night does not need to be made even more horrific by conspiracy theories and political finger-pointing. Let the investigation play out and give the families of those lost souls real answers, not rumors and assumptions. Be patient.

The funniest thing I've heard all week!! Can you IMAGINE what Charles said to him?? LMFAO
