You know what WON’T get stuck in the Strait of Hormuz?

Hasn’t the child been left in the house long enough? All you Congress members who should be parenting this willful little man are off drinking with friends.
If you Congress members don’t step up and start acting like grown ups this baby man will hurt you and your family and your family’s family.
You know, if you’ve watched any toddler experimenting with stuff, that they can burn down the house. It’s up to you to be the parent here. Your man baby is burning down the house. And you’re in it.

A reminder that it was never about following the law and being documented—it was always about banning non-white immigration, period.

Hello Fedi friends!

My decision to upload the Fedi promo video to YouTube 2 weeks ago was really controversial.

@randahl posted a nice message about the video & encouraged his followers to like / comment on it so the YouTube algorithm would serve it to more people. He was inundated by hostile comments for days. Sorry Randahl!

Well, exhibit A of why this was a good decision in hindsight (see pic).

How else are people going to hear about the Fediverse?

As always, thanks for the support ❤️

If we survive I will long thank DJT for services to our Democracy. Strange to say ? Maybe . But without him we would not know what a pus ridden group the Republican Party actually is. We’d have gone on believing they cared about America but they care only about their own pockets and lining them.They have been flushed out. We must do all in our power to eliminate these criminals. Take back our democracy. Our fore mothers and fathers fought for this democracy. We must fight to bring it back.
