Line ‘em up
The right wing is calling for executions to take place if Trump is indicted.[1] I wonder if Al Capone had protestors show up when he was charged?

Facebook being sociable.
Zuckerberg is being social again and in order to make the world a better place and facebook more efficient he’s laying off more people in order to be more sociably efficient.[2] He’s laying off 10,000 this time. Last November he laid off 11,000. Does this mean that instead of getting 12 ads before I get a post of a meme from a friend it’ll drop down to 9?

Flying old slaver.
Ah Florida, the southernist of states! A bill is introduced to prevent the flying of LGBTQIA flags on state property and government buildings but the Confederate flag is okay.[3] Wouldn’t want to take a chance on upsetting the racists. They’ll need their votes next go round. After the blowback from the public the guy that introduced the bill decided that perhaps it wasn’t one of his better ideas and pulled it.

Republicans promote Russian propaganda
Russia continues using right media MAGA darlings to spread their outrageous anti-Ukraine messaging.[4]

Swastika flag time
A racist old white guy in North Carolina succeeded in running off a black woman trying to start a business.[5] He used a gun and racist flags like a swastika for intimidation. Interestingly the picture used in the article is of a swastika flag used by Nazis in a demonstration in Riverside, California.

Welp, time to bomb Mexico.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that the US should use military airstrikes in Mexico.[6] No WWIII worry there.[7] Trump has talked about invading Mexico like Putin did in Ukraine.[8] It isn’t just Americans that MAGAs like to threaten.

Girlfriend material?
It’s kind of poetic that the author of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, former state representative Joseph Harding turns out to be yet another grifting MAGA criminal pleading guilty to several crimes related to obtaining Covid relief funds fraudulently.[9] He’s looking at 30 years so he may get off with a hand slap.

Not to be outdone.
A former Connecticut Democrat state representative Michael DiMassa and his wife also pled guilty to stealing Covid relief funds.[10] Here’s a list of members of congress that took Covid relief funds. And here. And we can’t leave out that Margorie Taylor Greene received some relief as well.[11]
