Times like these try the patience, good will, & faith of all
Toxic assaults challenge us in every corridor, rapacious opportunists + supremacists shredding our Constitutional system of equal justice for their oligarchic reign
More than ever, We The People must stand together
@tribelaw
Is this, then, the inflection ol’ Ben Franklin brought in cautious celebration on 17 Sept 1787 when he answered, kindly, the query of Elizabeth Willing Powell as to what form of gov’t the Constitutional Convention had devised for us?
“A Republic. If you can keep it.”
@kathrynresists
same observation here,
in the way she …not cowers, but edges away
also visible in his body language with her: physical threat & unrelenting verbal abuse

that said, standing in his presence is abuse
@tribelaw
The Fascist Project (Hitlerian or Leninist), every time it rears its hydra heads, is all about breaking a system from within then decrying the breaking as systemic, then inserting the breakers as the “only” fixers
@newt50
As means to an end, i guess
Yet shouldn’t the end be holding Abbott responsible?
Maybe the bus companies will collectively bring suit against the TX potentate
Sacred Oath to Preserve + Protect + Defend
presupposes & r e q u i r e s support
And what does he mean, anyway ~ does he •not• support the Constitution?
Reprehensible PoS Bastard Thug
Traitor Trump said that he never “took an oath to support the Constitution,”
so he shouldn’t be disqualified from running for the presidency again.
At what point do criminals get banned from destroying democracy?
Inquiring minds want to know.
@OurShallowState
Well stated, especially crucial observations of “force-feed[ing] false narratives” (a maniacal aspect of his entitled lifelong bullying) & “desperate” (increasing in volume & magnitude) “to reclaim grandiosity” (the elixir to placate his nervous tiny self-esteem).
@TomorrowVenture
yes
this program originated with Putin’s alma mater, the KGB, emphasizing not intelligence gathering & covert ops but disinformation & infiltration as social disruptors ~ collapsing the enemy from within

@SenThomTillis
You mean insurrection conspirators subverting several levels of the electoral process to retain grasp on presidential power?
You mean insurrection obstructionists holding legislative processes hostage to farcical prosecutions & impeachments while praising their gangland leader?

ad hominem projection doesn’t do the trick either
now, you’ve exhausted the 56 seconds i allow for fifth-grade mentalities

Not enough room here for the tale of how my former spouse earned a full self-portrait ink sketch by R. Crumb for piggyback riding him around the food court at Angoulême, 1992; “Hup! Hup!” he repeated low in her ear
A tolerant Aline was much less pleased than the crowd

original sketch of Morpheus (Dream) a.k.a. the Sandman by his creator Neil Gaiman ✨ Neil made this while he + me + Kelley Jones waited for doors to open at a signing …somewhere… during the 1989 Sandman 17 + Miracleman 19 Tour

You’re mistaken or lying
While one person masked offers little protection from another, both persons masked offers •demonstrated• protection
Spreading disinformation invites karmic consequence in kind
@thejackhopkins
yeeeears ago,
saw Neil Young @ the Gorge Amphitheater
(i hope he will remember),
with Chrissie Hynde opening
⚡️
she was “so excited to share a stage with Neil” that she got down on her knees & kissed the stage

too bad “turnabout” is a child’s game confirming, not defending, your dishonesty

@piper4missouri
Thanks for this
Most of my friends can’t fathom my substantial library
And that i’ve read most of them
Where have i “found the time”?
Interest. Curiosity. Minimal commercial TV.
Don’t get fooled, everyone.

so…
called out for self-serving dishonesty
“restored” by dishonest self-serving Musk
“considering” further self-serving dishonesty
good of you to admit your baseline dishonesty

@BlackKnight10k
no interest in winning the vote or count
just needs his people in place to dispute the results, deny them, force a House decision in his favor
And reading the unwritten,
one resides within this world
as no fixed destination,
as no incarceration,
as endless pure potentials
crystalized in exquisite,
tumultuous expression.
