Massive #LaborDay parade in Detroit! #WorkersDeserve
Happy to be here among friends. 💙 Still compartmentalizing my trauma from the election. I used to just be terrified for my kids. Now I'm terrified for us all.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"

In January, 15 right-wing influencers received binders "The Epstein Files: Phase 1", a gift from Atty. General Pam Bondi. She vowed to release DOJ information about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Hey Donny, this isn’t going away! No integrity. app.sosha.ai/s/umvEfmGY
