It’s still hard to believe we’ve come to this.
Take a breath then get back to fighting! America is worth saving. We now have a fascist government and it is up to us to retrieve our democracy. I don’t care what gender, color or race you are. Just be a good person.

If Biden was wandering with his head down, mouth open and hand dangling the media would be livid and demanding that he step down. Their silence shows that they give Trump an unjust leniency, or maybe they never thought he was really leading the country so it doesn't matter.

You know all those slasher-horror movies where they go in the haunted house or down the basement? And you scream, "OMG, how TF could they be so dumb!?" Yeah, well – that's America right now, with RFK jr as the head of HHS, including the CDC, NIH, etc. No good endings. Insane AF.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

Birth control pills are helpful in more ways than preventing pregnancy: Reduces heavy & painful periods, eases symptoms of ovarian problems, decreases the risk of some cancers and treats acne. If they pull this option, it will negatively affect women's health.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
