When this is over, no matter the effort and no matter the cost, we tear down Trump's ballroom and restore the White House to the way it was. And then we take a wrecking ball to Mar-a-Lago.

Since we’re clearing the air, I might as well put out something I’ve been concealing for a very long time. I’m the Vice President of Antifa (Western Continental Division)

Because ignorance is all Trump has. He is the greatest at ignorance. No one else comes close. He is yuugely ignorant. He has so much ignorance, people with intelligence do not like him. People want him to have a Nobel Peace Prize to celebrate his lack of intelligence and overwhelming ignorance. 8647

Let me go ahead and send my thoughts and prayers to all that plan to take their medical advice from someone who I am old enough to remember also told people to inject themselves with bleach. Why is ignorance being elevated while intelligence is being denigrated?

James Walkinshaw’s win in Virginia isn’t just another Democratic special election win. It shrinks the GOP’s already thin majority in the House 👏 Combine that with a boost for Abigail Spanberger, Republicans cornered on Epstein, and another legal blow for Trump, and you’ve got wins worth celebrating.

The reason for the anger at posting Kirk’s words is simply that we are entering a fascistic world where the truth is dangerous and lies become facts. It is literally how fascism sustains itself. Turning bigots into martyrs and innocent people into criminals. And that’s why saying the truth matters.
