Farewell today to the high priestess of polka dots, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026). Her work was unforgettable and for her, a means to survival. It’s playful, psychedelic, compulsive, beautiful and slightly unsettling all at once. Into infinity and beyond Yayoi! 🔴🟡⚫️
@therealDeFlock There is more than just this cop:
“In the past two months, three Fayetteville police officers, three Cherokee County deputies, one DeKalb County deputy, one Greene County deputy and one Conyers police supervisor have been arrested, fired or both.”
Trump did not come from nowhere.
This is the thing his opponents cannot accept because accepting it would implicate them.
He came from the same country that built the myth.
The same country that made "American greatness" into a theological proposition rather than a political claim.
The same country that taught its children they were exceptional by nature, chosen by history, owed deference by the world as a simple matter of cosmic order.
He did not invent that belief.
He inherited it. He mainlined it.
He stripped away the tasteful, diplomatic, NPR-voiced packaging that his predecessors used to deliver the same message: that American power is its own justification.
And he said it in the accent of the country club bathroom and the construction site and the cable news green room.
He said the quiet part loud.
And the people who hate him most are largely furious not that he is wrong, but that he is loud.
That he removed the aesthetic buffer between American power and American arrogance that made the rest of the world bearable to deal with.
He didn't break the mask.
He just stopped bothering to wear it.
And now everyone has to look at the face.
Can you name any victims of Mao Zedong, the Most Evil Man in History?
Don't worry, I can help. Meet one of the virtuous innocent landlords who lost everything after the revolution Mao led:
"Instead of us arresting Netanyahu or doing anything to stop illegal Palestinian land sales in NYC, you're allowed to protest Netanyahu and get beaten and arrested by NYPD whose police commissioner I appointed is longtime family friends with Netanyahu himself!"
Can we just… drop the facade of morality here for a minute and speak candidly?
Iran is RIGHT for striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. I said it, I don’t care if you like it. You’re lying to yourself if you want to act like it’s wrong.
The United States launched a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and this is an obvious and long-identified defense maneuver meant to create asymmetric downside against an overwhelmingly more powerful military adversary.
“Ohhhh but it’s wronggg. What about international lawwwww”
Last I checked, slaughtering 120 schoolchildren in Minab is against international law. Last I checked, launching a war of aggression against a sovereign nation like we see here is against international law. Last I checked, bombing water storage and infrastructure facilities is against international law…
… last I checked, the United States killed three Indian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz by attacking a civilian vessel.
“Ohhhhh but maritime lawwww. UNCLOS”
Y’all check on Cuba lately? The last delivery of oil to Matanzas was the Anatoly Kolodkin in MARCH. The United States is the SOLE reason the Universal couldn’t deliver in May. They have blackouts for 22 hours a day. Their hospitals can’t function.
You can whine all you want about morals and ethics, but maybe take a second to realize how stupid you sound doing it.

@AkaBerrier63413@ultras_antifaa Grandson. Getty refused the ransom but after the kids ear arrived, he agreed to pay a lowered sum of money. There is no love like family love. lol
