The wrong Don has been arrested. 

These people will do every thing else but the right thing. 

All y’all had to do was vote with some humanity and common sense, but no. And now, here we are.

My account is once again in active de-growth, and it might not survive this post. But those of you who have been following me for a while know that I will never back away from calling a thing a thing.

And the thing today is: the US is no longer merely fascist-adjacent. Which is why:

The wrong Don has been arrested. 
The wrong Don has been arrested. 
The wrong Don has been arrested.
