Also my car has a "FUCK PUTIN" bumper sticker where "FUCK" is censored with a Ukrainian flag.

This is one reason I have a big ass Ukrainian flag at every protest. We have a moral obligation to support Ukraine, plus they are fighting for everyone on earth.

Stay safe out there in the wilds of the internet, and defeat Putin in Ukraine!

In spite of all the shameful corporate capitulation, #Pride is still alive and well in the US. Small businesses and protestors are not going to give up.

This guy really, really wants to avoid jail.

An endearing finnish thing:

When someone is struggling, we don't wish them "thoughts and prayers" (tho some religious finns will happily pray for you), but we wish them "powers" (voimia).

And I like to imagine them as the powers of the forest, the wind, the deepest lakes, and forgotten secrets hued into the rock by our ancient kin. The spirits reach to give you their strenght, the veil is thin, the old songs lend you aid.

We wish you powers on these tough times.

💬 "The most important news today: Starlink and Starshield have resumed operations at the speeds they had before all these restrictions were imposed. The speeds are now exactly as we need them to be. Restoration began overnight, and by this morning speeds were already sufficient to use these communications. This is very important; it is crucial for our frontline logistics and for defending #Ukraine against rocket-propelled ‘shahids’.

Trump is not some all-powerful God-King

To subvert the election and get from here to consolidated authoritarian rule, the Trumpists depend on cynicism, acquiescence, and defeatism in the democratic camp.

Heh, maybe that's part of the reason.

Honestly that is kinda tempting.

We aren't going to do this, but I get it.

Via FactPost News, the US and military branch flags fell to the ground right before Hegseth addressed ROTC cadets at U Tennessee Knoxville.

This happened two days ago and zero coverage.

Not on the news: Bernie Sanders marched to the polls with 600 students in Houston. Students are heavily voter suppressed in Texas, as is Harris County (Houston) in general.

Now is the time to leave it all on the field. Not only for the results but because it beats the hell out of sitting around nail biting.

Elon is a sad boy, he must be losing in Texas. How many millions did he throw at the creepy guy, Paxton… 🤔

Holy crap, somebody burned down Hitler's Eagle's Nest.

I wish this were a metaphor for the destruction of fascism, but unfortunately, the actual museum has been lost.
