RISE - RESIST - REPEAT

I've a secret to share with you. / @Friday411 is me too. Here all this darkness / Provides me catharsis And limericks are just what I do.

The Right makes districts meandering

(That is what’s called gerrymandering)

Since they have to cheat

The Democrats to beat

And to Taco J Trump, they are pandering

[friday-911]

When mass shooters are Muslim and black

Or Hispanics go on the attack

“They’re terrorists all

What we need is a wall!”

Built so high, they can’t find their way back!”

But now, if the shooter is white

All that you hear on the right

Is “How did we fail him?

And how do we save him?”

When will the left put up a fight?

[friday-911]

The bald eagle once held its head high

We could look everyone in the eye

But I am now thinkin’

Were led by a chicken

And I just want to curl up and die

[friday-911]

What shall we do with a drunken Hegseth?

Smell the rot-gut liqueur on his foul breath

Playing at Our Flag Means Death

Early in the morning!

America is loosing the meme war to a hardline, fundamentalist, right wing Islamist regime.

Pathetic…

[friday-911]

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, pleeeaaassee!

The Internet sent me a gem

If immigrants Donald condemns

(It’s the law of the land)

But I don’t understand

Why does he keep marrying them?

The old orange man may rant and roar

Threaten Greenland with cries of war

He’d better think twice

About the high price

'Cause they’ve dealt with worse than him before!!!

Minnesota’s general strike should be our template for how we respond nationally.

[crafting-and-tea]

The people of Minnesota are not doing this alone, they are all doing this TOGETHER. They are building something enormous, and resilient, and effective:

Have you felt lonely in recent years? Have you felt disconnected from the people around you? NOW is the time to get to know them.

Get your neighbors on a text or signal group. Get in touch with a local immigrant rights organization, or church with good values, or school, or community group and show up, and show up again, and show up AGAIN, until you are a regular, and you know the people there, and they know you, and you are pleased to see one another and proud of the work you're doing together.

Build community where you are so that you are ready to act if what is being done to Minnesota comes to your community. It's what I'm doing with all my spare time where I am. This is how Minnesota will win, this is how every part of this country will win.

Rise! Resist! Repeat!

Congress gave Trump’s tariffs a time out.

Are they serious? Well we'll find out

Trump’s pissed off our friends

(As a means to what end?)

Is this a hole we can climb out?

-=<+>=-

The Senate and Congress struck down Trump’s across the board tariffs with veto-proof majority.

-=<+>=-

*Personal observation * I think that this might not apply to tariffs over Greenland.

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.

I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy

My husband had this Dungeons and Dragons group ages ago, and one of the guys was TERRIFIED of cats.  The moment he sees one he freezes up and can barely breathe.  Said guy is almost seven feet tall and solid wall of muscle.  Whenever he came over I’d put the cats in the bedroom and chill out with a book because my cats don’t like being shut away without one of us. 

One of my cats was pawing at the door and meowing loudly, an indication she REALLY needs to use the litter box.  I let her out and decide, hey, I’m hungry, and decide to the kitchen.  I forgot to shut the bedroom door. 

Next thing I hear is the group going completely silent.  My husband very calmly asks me to come over and help him gather our two cats up.  I go over to where the group is and my black cat, Cacoa, is rubbing up against the guy’s leg, purring, and doing her “let me on your lap” meow.  The other cat, Jasper, is sitting at the window, chilling out.  I go over and pick up Cacoa and tell the big dude she’s harmless, loves laps, and would be thrilled if he pet her.  Very slowly he touches my cat’s face, and she leans right into his hand.  He then pets her back and sighs because she’s really soft and purring like mad.  After a few minutes he asks how to pick her up and if it’s okay if she sits on his lap.

He spent the next six hours spoiling my cat.  The next week he showed up with cat treats and toys because he fell in love with the cats.  He told me he was doing some research on house cats, and even talked to a vet about them.  A couple months later he adopted two cats and was as thrilled and excited as a new parent.

I used to work at this stable for icelandic horses and every now and then this man would turn up by the field to just watch the horses. One time I walked by him as I was going to get the horses inside, and he went ”I always wanted to learn how to ride but I’m afraid of horses because they’re so huge. If I could ride ponies like this, maybe I’d dare but now I’m too big and heavy for them.” You should have seen his face when I told them that actually they’re not ponies, just small horses and they could totally carry him. His face just lit up. Next thing I’m helping him to get on back. Today he knows how to ride.

A few years ago my sister and I were in Daytona Beach, and we saw this huge, burly biker. Looked like the stereotypical biker: big black beard, the goggles, leather, and a bandana. He also had a baby carrier, and in that baby carrier was a tiny little orange Pomeranian. We complimented his dog and he said, in one of the deepest voices I’ve ever heard, “thanks, his name’s Little Bear!” And he told us about how he’d take Little Bear out on his motorcycle everyday and how much the dog loved it.

Venezuela’s opposition leader

Decided that she didn’t need her

Gold Nobel Peace prize

She’s content with the lies

That Trump’s administration will feed her

-=<+>=-

I have to say that if I were in her place, I would have done it too, since there is an infinitesimal chance of it softening up the chicken-in-chief.

“In a lengthy rant on Truth Social Monday, Trump claimed that the U.S. would have to “pay back … Hundreds of Billions of Dollars” to the countries and companies that pledged to invest in American factories and plants in order to avoid his tariffs if the Supreme Court determined his economic action was unlawful. “When these Investments are added, we are talking about Trillions of Dollars!” Trump wrote. “It would be a complete mess, and almost impossible for our country to pay.” He then tried to shift blame for the hastily constructed tariff plan—which was built on bad math—onto the judiciary. He claimed that the nine-justice bench would be at fault for the fallout of the plan rather than his office, which forced it through in April against the advice of at least two dozen Nobel Prize–winning economists.”

“WE’RE SCREWED”: Trump Panics Over Looming Supreme Court Tariff Ruling

He is so stupid

[friday-911]

Trump's tariffs are really just taxes

Paid for by American masses

Do you think we will win?

You'd best think again

Since the world kicks fascist asses!

ICE said its agents are “misunderstood”

They really need to be armed in the ‘hood

They say they’re the good guys

Is it such a surprise

In Minneapolis now there’s no Good?

The saddest sentence that I know

(Whose usage continues to grow)

Just four little words

( I’m sure that you’ve heard)

That tiny phrase “I told you so “

[friday-911]

The police asked "Holmes, what should we do?

He said "Look to the dog for your clue."

"But he didn't do squat."

"That's the curious part."

And with that, Sherlock stumped the whole crew.
