At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

#vss365 I'm in the #autumn of my years, at least, I'd like to think it, but as I'm well past three-score-ten. that's probably too optimistic. 👩‍🦳

I'm not sure people heard what our crazy president said HE SAID "CHEAT LIKE HELL" The president of the United States of America just told his supporters to cheat and offered a $5,000 bribe. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

Am I targeting Trump with my verse? That vile man whose behavior gets worse With each day that goes by? Yes I am, and here's why: Donald's reign is a scourge and a curse! #VssDaily #Target #Limericks #Poetry #News #MicroPoetry #Poems #NoKings #Resist #Trump #MAGA #USPOL #USPolitics #Politics #Poets

THIS IS NO ACCIDENT! Trump/Miller/Mullin, and even the “Conservative” SCOTUS 6 “Christians”, like the NAZIS, do NOT believe in our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, Magna Carta, Equality of Justice, nor in basic Human Rights or decency. Like Hitler’s Brown Shirts, ICE is Fascist, LAWLESS!

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.
