Normalized. Encouraged. Trump, Vance, Miller, Musk, Fox News, etc. Why isn't this being talked about more?24 Jul 2026 04:48 +0000at://did:plc:gq6vrppqo7wlnyfl2jbdxf67/app.bsky.feed.post/3mreke2fkks2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/acoffey.bsky.social/post/3mrblsmat2s2yAt the Pavement show in Chicago but I don’t think I’m going to be able to see anything as per usual. I need to get those super tall shoes or something. Stilts? I need stilts. Probably uncomfortable though.

Question his leadership and skill. Make him argue that. So, you're saying you messed up there?

I often think about this horrible photo of a kangaroo trapped by a fence. It was burned to death trying to escape. Someone (maybe who had shared it) noted how it died in agony. Billions of animals died. Many in agony. I'm sorry to bring this up.
