He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.
I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.
I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong βΒ in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

Truck is full of gas, I am full of cheeseburger. A raven landed nearby so I tweeted the whistle I bought from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and tossed it a French fry. I will train every corvid in Susanville to come to the sound of community defense whistles.

Re: the backlash to "craftivism."
Stickering is cool and punk and floods the environment with our messaging.
The hats are not "performative"-- they're doing the same thing! But graffiti is seen as more male, knitting more female, and there you go.

"Return CBP to the border"
Now that you have seen what CBP does, why is it okay to have them on the US-Mexico or US-Canada border? Some people say they want "a controlled border" but at what cost to life?
Knitted Portland frog action shot, with fuck ice button
Good turn out today in Poulsbo. Shout out to Poulsbo mayor Ed Stern and Rep. Tara Simmons for their attendance and speeches. Our frog hats are getting lots of wear. #knitting #democracy
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Wake up babe a new protest hat just dropped. Sketch of a red pointy hat.
It looks like the WWII anti fascist hats are about to take over the knitting world. πFolks in my area have been trying to restart another WW2 Norwegian silent protest, the wearing of paperclips #knitting

This is Minneapolis (St. Paul). I walked into a new-to-me yarn store.
βAre you looking for red yarn? Itβs sorted by weight.β
I bought the yarn and was not the only one, and bought the pattern and never had to tell them it was the Melt ICE hat I wanted. It was 4/5th of the sales I saw.

That man should never have to buy his own drinks again.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
