Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial.
Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.
❗️Elon Musk says “the endless slaughter of Ukrainians and Russians must stop” and called for sympathy for Russian conscripts. “Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes,” he wrote. His remarks come amid an ongoing dispute over restrictions on Starlink and its use by Ukraine.

Here’s something you should know about minks:
They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people.
They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19.

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:
"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."
Correct. Swing voters clearly don’t give a shit how “extreme” any candidate is, as evidenced by the fact that they have cast votes for Trump and thought it was a smart thing to do. They just get pissed when the party in power doesn’t make anything better and switch allegiances every 2-4 years.
Okay this crap has made me angry. You wanna find some REAL activists who will share things you can actually DO instead of stare at deactivist "A.i." bullshit? Here's a thread of starter packs!

Listen to how we reviewed a trove of FBI evidence and legal records to independently corroborate key parts of his account:
This is exactly what vouchers are designed to do.
Never forget- scratch a book banner, find a legislator who's working with the anti-public education dark money crowd.
Bc it's hard to sell: I don't believe poor ppl deserve an education. But it's easy to sell: public schools are grooming your kids.
Public school enrollment was declining in West Virginia even before its voucher program was established.
But things have only gotten worse.
