I have no idea if this is actually true, but even if it isn't it sounds like a decent idea to me...
Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Fran Liebowitz has talked about how AIDS not only killed off most of the generation's great artists, it also killed the great audiences, leaving behind only rubes and people with lesser taste to ascend up the creative ladders. Trump is the apotheosis of that - bad taste and no personal talent.
The Kennedy Center removed the famous “Blue” outdoor sculpture from its grounds on Wednesday.

I can be skeptical when folk find evidence of Nazism all over the place (as Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar) but Jesus Christ. This is just undeniable. What other reason would "88" be the chosen dollar amount???
88, huh?
Exclusive: Republicans are planning to raise millions of dollars during the coming GOP midterm convention in Dallas, including asking donors to pay more than $88,000 for a photo with President Trump.

📌Google maps. These sniveling tech companies and the billionaires who own them are grotesque — geographically and morally lost.
We must never forget who surrendered to hate and fascism.

Two things can be true at once:

2) I so fucking sick of this giant orange shit bag and his fucking ugly toupee/wig (as seen below) embarrassing me and my entire country.

Read this and leave your Doomer shit at the door before you talk to me.
Tired of shitting yourself because the GOP's trying to steal votes?
Here's info from a veteran. I live in the US capitol of ballot fraud! The good ol' NC-09.
I've personally been hit by two (2) NATIONAL NEWS-level GOP attempts to steal elections.
BOTH 👏 FAILED 👏 because we WORKED.
Here's how.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves
They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇
Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

One of the things I hate the most about tariffs is that we knew they were illegal, and when the court finally decided they were illegal, they forced Trump to refund the tariffs. But the refunds went to the corporations, and not the people the corporations raised prices on.
What a scam.

Jesus. I really left DC at the right time.
I haven’t been to DC since before the last election. The vibe is weird, y’all. You might be having a nice conversation with someone at a bar then they’ll start talking about the "importance" of testosterone testing in the military, or how they hope more car racing comes to DC.
Ugh.

This is lovely. Reminds me of Maupin's "Letter to Mama":
These aren't radicals or weirdos, Mama...Their attitude is neither patronizing nor pitying. And their message is so simple: Yes, you are a person. Yes, I like you. Yes, it's all right for you to like me, too.

Just in case you need another reason to boycott Target - we all paid Trump's tariffs; they hit companies like Target, but they passed on the cost to us, the consumers. Now Target gets $1bn as a gift and the rest of us get...nothing.
Target's profits just doubled, because the company got a massive $1 billion tariff refund.
Ordinary people have yet to see tariff refunds from the government or these corporations.
