💯 @poliphobe.bsky.social Those suffering the burden of fascism know it firsthand. We all feel that weight pushing down upon us. The dispossessed are many. Fascism and the regime respond: “compassion is woke”. Compassion is a virtue, a blessing and a curse, but something they will never know.

A new gold statue showing Donald Trump, naked and balanced atop the back of a meek man, has been unveiled today in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg. The eight-foot installation, titled The Orange Plague, is attributed to "The King of Injustice."

For everyone who may still be testing which Free Search Engine AI Assistant works best- For me, DuckDuckGo on my IPhone works best. Maybe I can now collect my commission for pushing Voltaren, and now DuckDuckGo. Seriously though, not being paid for using either product. Just my 2 cents. ✌️

Picture of Donald Trump next to a list of 4 times Trump has promised to pay rebates of $1000 to $5000 to the American people -that he has never paid, including the most recent promise he made at the RNC Convention in Dallas in Sept 2026 to pay $5000 to every adult citizen in the USA if republicans win the midterms. An implausible idea meant to get people to the polls with way to pay the 21 trillion it would cost and no real intention to actually pay as has been the case with every other promise he’s made.
