I found this image on Reddit and took a screen cap before it was taken down. Sometimes people who ignore history find their corpses strung up by the heels and spat on in a public square. Sic semper tyrannis.
On the left, Trump scowls from a federal office building in Washington DC. On the right, Benito Mussolini scowls from the façade of the Fascist Party headquarters in Rome, 1934.

No one should follow me. Older gay guy living with his husband in Pittsburgh PA. Far-left politics, too many selfies, nature, cute animals. Politics will drive me crazy if I let it, so I try to spread my attention around. I’m amazed and grateful to have lived this long. Recent ADHD diagnosis but it feels like it’s been with me forever.

In an attempt to soothe my rage towards the current criminals running this country, I imagine appropriate afterlives for these vermin.
For the person who so cruelly shot their dog, an eternity of being ripped apart by wild dogs. For the person who hates immigrants with so much passion, an eternity of being tracked and hunted by strangers, with not a moment of rest, forever forced to run with no place to hide.
Etc.

Ash Wednesday fish fry take-out from the Monroeville Fire House #3. Smoky bar — “Smoking is Permitted” — , a lot of old patrons (our age) who all seemed to know each other. Very dive bar vibe. The food was unremarkable. We won’t be returning.
