You'd have to question the training of NSW #police that a senior cuntstable with 12 years experience would find it okay in his tiny little mind to #Taser a 95 year old woman approaching him slowly using a walking frame and #armed with a steak #knife

#ClareKnowland might weight 50kgs dripping wet and it's believed she has dementia.

Seriously in what universe does this even make sense? It makes more sense every time someone says all cops are cvnts.

Please boost the shit out of this.

Recently I posted that some libraries in southern Oregon were under attack. Racist, bigoted fascists were trying to infiltrate their Board so they could ban books.

Well, the voters have spoken. Our candidates—kind people with integrity—won the election. They won!

Small elections are huge. They mean so very much. Just wanted to share, because these victories have been few and far between.

Anderson Cooper is lying about "half the country voted for Trump"

In 2016, Trump only won by 70,000 votes in three states by having Russia microtarget certain counties with disinformation.

Trump lost in 2020 by over 7 million votes, this, despite a flawed census and redistricting that turned Democrat counties red through gerrymandering & voter suppression.

The percentage of Americans who vote Republican is expected to continue to shrink.

Noah told the animals he'd saved: "go forth and multiply".

And they did, but he noticed a couple of snakes just sitting in the corner, looking sad.

And Noah asked them, "what's the matter"?

They said: "sorry, we're adders. we can't multiply".

Hearing that, Noah fetched his tools and a few planks from the ship and made them a wooden table:

"Here, with a log table even adders can multiply."

Thanks for the welcome! I will indeed!

Santos is a co-sponsor of a bill in the House to crack down on… unemployment fraud. The GOP began considering that bill in the House the same day Santos was arrested for it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😣🤣

I have a talent for getting blocked by never-Trump Republicans because I can’t help telling them they’re responsible for creating the conditions that led to Trump. And they don’t like hearing that one bit. But it’s true.

Took off from San Jose, California, US.

Trump suffered legal defeat after defeat in late 2020 — except for one appeals court judge that halted the certification process in Pennsylvania.

Now that judge is running for a seat on Pennsylvania's state supreme court.

Primary is on Tuesday.

WOKE IN A COLD SWEAT!

Along with an overwhelming fear of Hillary Clinton hiding under their bed, nothing makes far-right conservatives break into a cold sweat more than hearing the term "Woke".

I for one am WOKE as Hell and proud to be in the company of like-minded individuals! ❤️❤️❤️

For all you non-native English speakers out there, “read” is pronounced like “lead”, and “read” is pronounced like “lead”.
