hilarious that these people see the value of taxes only when their coastal homes are threatened also if they're wondering about what they "get" for taxes they already pay, they might gaze just a bit further down the coastline at HUGE military bases & installations

Je sais pas si l'info circule convenablement vu que je vois souvent les photos passer, mais les images de la panthère rose qui se fait arroser par des keufs, sont des fausses photos générées par I.A. à partir de photos de manifs en Arménie datant de 2015.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Today at approximately 1:30 PM Eastern time the main accounts for the No Kings coalition on Instagram were frozen and pulled down. The admins have lost access to the account. We are unable to login. This happened at the peak of our national day of action.

well. one explanation i commonly hear for why there's more mobilization on other platforms is that's where the critical mass of users are & we have to meet ppl where they're at. this is right, but it's also a huge, huge vulnerability (what would you do if here went down) bsky.app/profile/ezra...
