Gaetz is a loyalty test for the Senate, to see if they’ll really let Trump be a dictator. If he gets blocked, expect calls for senators to resign.

He’s rich, not a branch of government.

Kind of curious where he gets the funding for that board.

Nothing but anecdotal, but it kinda looks like Bluesky is becoming a thing. Couple that with a lot of people taking a step back from the world right now.

Poland’s military is about half again larger than Ukraine prior to the war, large portions of it are very well trained, and their equipment is significantly better. If they decided to march to Moscow, nothing Russia has, short of nukes, would slow them down. And Poland would really like to discuss with them, some of the things that happened in WW2, in an up front and personal way.

The US still makes massive amounts of cotton. That all gets exported to other countries before getting turned into garments and things.

Coffee, tea, and everything you’re wearing right now.

They won’t shut it all down, just localized areas in order to ‘protect the safety of officers operating in the area’.

Probably best to stick to coordinating movements to isolate and neutralize paid provocateurs and provide secure wellness stations, while maintaining a recording of EVERYTHING done by officials. Remember to broadcast everything, not just record. That way recordings can’t be seized.

At some point they’ll start shutting down internet access to prevent recording of their actions. But that will probably coincide to when protest isn’t the most efficient of methods any more.

Very true, and if the nuclear threat goes away, it’ll look like a pack of junk yard dogs let loose on a kitten.

Right wingers only see problems when it happens to them personally. So the only way to get rid of Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself. This is just a tiny string in that rope. I’m hoping he gathers up enough to end up like Mussolini.

If not for nukes, Poland probably would have rolled Russia by themselves. The rest of NATO could just be emotional support.

While I fully support these protests, they need to be planning for the responding violence from authorities. It’s coming the day Trump takes office.

They sell the targeting, from there it’s simple for the advertisers to compile the list with the tracking cookies left behind.

Google has that list, and it’s for sale. Regardless if you tell them, they know.

Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He’s publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.

The government can’t control the populace. They’re going to cause riots, far worse than the last time. Keep yourself safe, it’s gonna get ugly.

Europe is going to have to get proactive about it’s security too. Just defending themselves from Putin and Xi won’t be enough.

Finish the refit on our boat, move back aboard, and sail away. It’ll take another year to be ready to cross the Atlantic.

Kinda sad really, the trans acquaintance I hang out with thought it was funny. Looks like too many people taking themselves too seriously.
