I’ve never seen correct punctuation or capitalization in any of his posts. The disinformation is on brand for MAGA, but the rest 👀
He did not write this.
You’re ignorant if - you believe that the government is ‘chipping’ you with vaccines. You’re a ignorant if - you think that the mRNA in a vaccine is manipulating your DNA. You’re a ignorant if - you believe that vaccines cause autism. Vaccines are safe and effective! Vaccines cause old age.
Buster is still one of my all time favorite rescues. He spent his life living on a short chain on cold concrete because he was too "vicious". His love affair with his mum Kitty is a thing of pure beauty

This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala. CHILDREN!
Trump’s unprecedented weaponization of National Guard troops in recent months raises alarming concerns that the administration might be laying the groundwork to interfere with elections in key cities next year and in 2028.
Thank goodness we still have the foreign press, since American journos are unwilling to report clearly on the Gang that Couldn't Think Straight.
Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

It is just wild to me that the largest facility used during Japanese internment will now be used to intern immigrants from ICE raids, people who are disappeared by masked officers off the streets, and there is still a debate about whether naming and shaming those doing it is fair.
U.S. politicians' responses to mass shootings are "always performative," says @cameronkasky.bsky.social. "This administration... is so defined by tragedy, cruelty, and violence that something like children being shot dead while they are praying is not going to be a topic next week."
Used to ask my ex this all the time. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.

Our democracy is under attack across our nation, and we cannot continue down this path towards authoritarianism. Thank you Congressman Jamie Raskin for highlighting the severe threats to democracy at our tele-town hall.
"The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for universal background checks, a federal gun-trafficking statute, extreme-risk protection orders, limits on high-capacity magazines, raising the purchase age, and banning assault weapons."

You know who else has under 800k citizens, South Dakota, and they’re a state. DC should become one too.
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

If he’s still posting on Truth Social, he’s still alive. Let’s continue to increase the pressure on him. If we’re the frogs in the pot, as they’re turning up the heat….let’s remember, he’s in our country still and alive - let’s put the lid on and see where this goes.

CHICAGO…
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.
I’ll wait for a state to do it, but won’t hold my breath - because they will refuse to go/deploy. Sadly, we have reached apathy.
The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Epstein estate for documents and communications — including the birthday book Ghislaine Maxwell compiled. The Committee will meet with Alex Acosta, the ex-Trump Labor Secretary who orchestrated Epstein's 2008 plea deal, for a transcribed interview.
They still haven’t released them fully… www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Newsom: Perhaps the president could deploy the National Guard in every corner of Mississippi. Murder rate is out of control there. And the governor may want to make that phone call.
Maybe blue states should just send their national guard to the highest crime rate states to help the police with crime… oh, that’s ILLEGAL! So, states have sovereignty that other states & the fed govt *cough* exec. office *cough* has to respect?! Who knew? The Constitution 😱…of course!
I am eager; emphatically, enthusiastically, hoping that all the political targeting & vindictive litigation from Trump’s DOJ, gets a counter suit for extortion. This is political extortion at the highest level for a leader who wants & has “big-boy fantasies” about dictators 🌮 tinyurl.com/2cxysm2u

Smartest one in every room. Fight me. I’ll stand on this. Best sense of humor. Tried to get us healthcare back then? Had to courage to call him Russian Puppet to his face? She knew. She was Secretary of State. And she’s not President? @hillaryclinton.bsky.social

Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.
CHAOS ERUPTS AT CDC CDC Director Susan Monarez has been ousted after RFK Jr. demanded she change her policy on the COVID vaccine. Top officials from the Vaccine Unit, Zoonotic Division, and the Chief Medical Officer are resigning, per reports. Horrifying news for public health.

People who claim fascism is a leftist ideology do so because it hurts their feelings to admit that fascism is rightwing and that they agree with much of it.
25% of his term so far, we have one more month and a whole other quarter to go! He will have added up to (minimally) $200M by the time we hit the 1 year mark - let’s not forget his birthday parade that was $60M.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
😂😂😂😂 “Assault with a deadly sandwich…” The officer… “It’s wrapping hit me in the chest and I’m gluten intolerant.”
So, why not move to a country that has an autocratic leader? 1.) because they don’t want to learn a new language. 2.) they cannot afford a passport. 3.) they cannot find work in another country (probably due to *their* stance on immigration. 4.) they don’t want to learn new customs.

“Part of the point was a theatrical display of law-enforcement power deployed against a critic of the administration…That was part of the point too—that the administration will offer only the thinnest of denials that it is gunning for its political enemies.” www.thebulwark.com/p/john-bolto...
Intimidation, fear mongering, suppression, going after political opponents - I read about this somewhere 🧐 oh yeah, history class. If you’re reading comprehension isn’t up to par, here are a few documentaries. I’ve seen ~5-6 of these, after completing my minor & speaking with Holocaust survivors.
If you’re giving us, “she was fired” and he has no legal leg to stand on, she was fired in the world of public opinion. This is part of an electoral autocracy - and every journalist that doesn’t get it right, with the writing, is complicit to the take over of our media.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is trying to illegally fire her. Your words shape reality — get it right.
Masked immigration raids don’t protect us. They hide abuse and strip away our dignity. Stand with me in demanding transparency and accountability by adding your name to this petition.
I think we all hope for that 😂

Gov Pritzker’s speech was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥and I’m so here for it!!! 👏🏼
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else
It’s because he’s so offensive. He can’t defend anything - how often he rode the Lolita exp, how many young girls he raped, how he had 6 casinos go under, how he’s turning our democracy to an autocracy? War Department is fitting for this twat, where his strength is measured by diaper capacity.
So the guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize and claims to end wars wants to call the DoD the War Department? Mmmkay.
Can we add renaming all the bays in California, President Newsom, POTUS Newsom, and Gavin, The Greatest Governor Bay?
