Get the facts! Los Angeles is a city of 503 square miles. Only 1 square mile has a curfew. We don’t have a problem.

The man who launched an attempted coup on the United States in 2020 and instigated an insurrection at the Capitol that resulted in five deaths now claims that people in LA are launching an insurrection. They’re not. This guy telling you LA is on fire is the same guy that told you to drink bleach.

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

Just remember, experts who study authoritarianism tell us we only need 3.5% of the Pop. to thwart consolidation of their power. That’s only 11,550,000 out of 330 M, there’s that many people in LA county alone. We can do this!! #NoKings

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

10:30am:

"Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

10:49am:

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Centaurus A. A glowing orange region shines at the upper left corner, with dark brown and black dust cascading diagonally down to the lower right. Distant stars dot the hazy background of space. Bright pink regions of star formation are interspersed throughout the dust.

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.

A massive spiral galaxy fills the image, with its bright yellow core seen near the upper left. Spiral arms whirl outward, laced through with dark brown dust and bright blue patches of star formation.

$The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.$

from today's post, about MAGA filling their diapers upon learning that Bruce Springsteen called Dear Leader corrupt and treasonous. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/45fCebv (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

Born in the USA is about a Vietnam vet who returns home to a nation that pretty much tells him to go fuck himself. nobody wants to hear about his problems.

it’s right there in the lyrics, if MAGA ever bothered to listen past the chorus.

Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says “Son if it was up to me”
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said “Son, don’t you understand”

that chorus everyone loves to shout — “born in the USA, I was born in the USA” — that’s meant to be a complaint. ‘what about me? I was born here, too’ — but try explaining any of that to MAGA. they’re can’t be bothered with stupid things like nuance. they just want a slogan to punch their fists in the air to. fuck yeah!

build the wall! fuck yeah!

drill baby drill! fuck yeah!

born in the USA! fuck yeah!

Bruce Springsteen’s politics — as well as his catalog of songs — have always leaned left. that’s obvious to anyone who’s been paying attention. but because that one song has a misunderstood refrain, America’s dumbest fuckbrains have spent the last forty years laboring under the mistaken impression that Springsteen was one of their own — and now they’re shocked to learn it’s never been true.

Loooooool I had to look this up to make sure it was real. There is a 10% reciprocal tax on Heard and McDonald Islands. These are islands that form part of the Australian territory. Heard Island in fact has Australia’s active volcano and tallest mountain. Both islands …. are uninhabited lmao.

List of countries and territories that are being hit with US tariffs. Highlighted is a tariff on the Heard and McDonald Island chains which don’t have any humans there.
