Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.

Marcos Rubio is essentially admitting it this morning. He’s asked what their legal authority is to control Venezuela. His answer: leverage Their “authority” is our military capacity to use their oil supply as a control system. It’s disgusting bsky.app/profile/atru...

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

The Heritage Foundation, TPUSA, many others, including billionaires, want to turn education into indoctrination and turn the population into superstitious Christians who pray and sing about the Apocalypse instead of fighting climate change, who believe when they're told 'witchcraft' or 'demons.'

Two billionaires that want your children to be gullible and superstitious, to believe people speak different languages because ancient people built a building too tall. God didn't want them taking a stairway to Heaven, so he destroyed the building and made it so they couldn't talk to each other.

Washington State farm workers are harvesting Pink Lady apples. This variety is harder to harvest than most because it has to be 90% red when they cut it I must cut the stem off of each apple. They get paid $35 per box and harvest 4 to 6 boxes in 8 hrs. #WeFeedYou

Fuck the Feeble Minded Old Man #Trump and Cronies in #ICE 8647 #Resist #TACO and his Clown Show on every front 24/7/365 Turn up the Volume and FILM ~ FILM ~ FILM #NoKings

            The image is a politically charged cartoon depicting two large, imposing figures standing side by side. The figure on the left is dressed in bulky, almost gladiatorial armor with the word "HATE" written prominently on his body. The figure is muscular, with an aggressive stance, evoking a sense of violence or intimidation.

Next to this figure is a similarly large and intimidating person clad in dark police or riot gear labeled "LIES." This figure carries a baton or club, emphasizing authority and enforcement, but the label suggests deception or false narratives rather than actual protection or justice.

On the far left, there is a much smaller person, possibly a caricature of a scholarly or intellectual figure, addressing the armored figures with the words, "GET A LOAD OF MR. WOKE MARXIST HERE!" This character is contrasted strongly with the massive figures, highlighting a stark power imbalance or ideological confrontation.

Symbolically, the cartoon appears to criticize what the artist may see as the use of hatred and lies by authoritative forces against those labeled as "woke Marxists" — a term often used in contemporary political debate to criticize progressive activists or proponents of social justice. The cartoon suggests a narrative where accusations of being a "woke Marxist" provoke forceful and deceptive responses framed as hate and lies.

Artistically, the exaggerated proportions and stark labels add to the cartoon's emotional impact, portraying a dramatic clash of ideas and power dynamics in a visually striking way.
