Yesterday I saw my personal holy grail.

"The world's wealthiest man, a white supremacist, has the power to cause an entire nation to lose a war to a powerful invader" really seems like it should be the biggest story in the world right now. www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Musk is an enemy of the Western democratic world.

If you are still on Musk's X, you are enabling his treachery.

You and me both.💙

CONFIRMED: the thoughts and prayers offered by politicians followed by Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde (and far too many others) all failed to prevent today's shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. Is it okay to talk about #GunControlNow? Or still too soon?

If an amendment to your constitution results in children routinely being shot in school then it's time to amend it again.

Steve is wondering if you can make alcohol from pumpkins.

You frightened wockaflockas really let them gut our country and make it their personal piggy bank? I hope shittin' on folks who were different from you was worth it.

I will never recover from my furious anger at those evil and/or stupid enough to vote for the orange 💩, primarily because every damn day he does something, or multiple somethings, that piss me off all over again.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

Because he's one of the only people standing next to a Republican going, "this person is a piece of shit, I don't respect him, neither should you, he's fucking evil and he needs to go, and I don't care if it makes me sound rude saying it" LIKE EVERY DEMOCRAT SHOULD BE DOING??? MAYBE???

We should all remember that, given the publication of the footage of our sinking Caribbean fishing vessels, this is not the first time Hegseth has video of killings as part of his spectacle of power.

That's my senator! 💜
