Everyone, please go follow the very talented @nobodyfamous! He's a hip-hop producer and Blender artist who also makes videos showing his process so others can learn from him. He just joined Mastodon and deserves a very warm welcome 👋🏼 So excited to have you here, man!

Ayone knows where Armando Llorens is posting at these days? He used to be ArmandoNDK on the bad site and he has an account here but it's inactive.

Don't forget to chip in a few $$$ (if you can) to @democracydocket and @marcelias because the courts is where a lot of post-election litigation is going to end.

Who would have thought that a Trump-appointed judge would cite a decision by an insurrectionist justice to throw out a case against Trump for subverting American democracy

Judge dismisses Trump’s classified documents case - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/07/15/trump-classified-trial-dismisssed-cannon/ And here it is.

Are we all ready for the orgy of eliminationist rhetoric, fascist aesthetic, and digorging of hatred that's about to hit us in the next few days?

Mr. Boots said #Biden has cancelled an event & is reevaluating his ad campaign after yesterday’s bs, & I really hope that’s not true, because his most recent push has not only been strong, it’s been effective, imo. Neither he nor VP Harris have EVER called for violence—that what Republicans do […]

It enrages me to no end that people in stem have so little training in social science or critical thinking that they've had to resort to using the word 'mental model'. If you're unfamiliar, with ideas, notions, constructs, perceptions, frameworks, or concepts - then school has failed you.

@greg_doucette Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

It's too soon to politicize the shooting. Thoughts and prayers.

Well, this changes nothing: Project 2025 is still a democracy-ending plot, the SCOTUS is still corrupt to the core, and the press still sucks.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

"There's no place for this kind of violence in America." -- President Biden in a statement

That's a hell of a way of making all these unflattering #project2025 headlines disappear just when awareness of it was getting some momentum.

Liberals mostly don't own guns. Remember, we're a bunch namby-pamby snowflaky beta cucks.

Also, pardon me, but I am skeptical that you can identify what hit him based on the audio on a crowd recording.

The mass deportation scheme is probably the most immediately scary part of Trump 2025. It’s not just the just the forcible deportation of millions of people and accompanying family disruption That’s bad enough. Nor is the let’s-see-what-pulling-this-lever-does-hurr economic recklessness./1

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.
