I’ve had this pinned on that other site for a long time. Today I will pin it on BlueSky! It will remind us of how Trump’s presidency ended & that he plans to pardon those who were convicted. Such a fine example of what not to do! I’m so glad we had Biden for 4 years.

With a President and 3 Cabinet members credibly accused of sexual abuse, this may be among the most morally corrupt administration in history.

Polio will happen and there will be no medical insurance to cover the costs. That's a scarier scenario.

They don’t care they want people to die period. FYI they just gutted whole offices at the CDC at midnight sent out emails to gore career CDC employees by email without cause. Last paychecks was 3 days short. So didn’t pay for any of the shut down days either.

We have 46 cases in our county in the South West. People don’t care about their kids, or anyone else’s any more. Thanks to the GOP, RFK jr and the White House squatter who got his Covid booster yesterday.

Does everyone know there is a full blown outbreak of measles on South Carolina?

Why are our children paying the price of our stupidity?

Will we wait until, that first child gets polio, before we act?

I just can’t believe the apathy of parents.

Our children ARE America’s future.

I bet they aren’t! That would not fit the propaganda that they must fill the heads of their dumb viewers with.
They are probably showing clips of house to house fighting in Ukraine but telling the idiots that it’s Portland! Of course they are too lazy and dumb to confirm it! 🙄

Corporate media is missing the point about Portland’s Mr. Frog. They are covering him and his menagerie as a humorous side show. In reality Mr Frog has seized the visual narrative by pointing out the absurdity of troops in Portland. In our visual media world. Mr Frog is winning the war. #ProudBlue
