Fake news! Blake Treinen is a PATRIOT who is going to get BIG money as a free agent this offseason. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

It’s the exact same thing in MO. The powers that be completely neglect the party’s base in the big city and disingenuously pander to rural voters.

Don’t give up hope that we can take back the places we love. If we can take the party back then hopefully we can replace the grifters that led us astray.

I had a very similar experience working with the party in MO. It's why I want to bash my head into a brick wall when pundits want to blame trans people or other made-up culprits for the party's slide. Incompetence and grift are what got us into this mess.

Interesting to hear the party had that mindset and then consider what's happened to the Dem party in Ohio and other formerly purple states since. Maybe prioritizing money above all else wasn't the best choice!

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Have him set up shop in Jupiter and become the heir to George Kissell. He was born for that role.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Same! It's not Folklore or Evermore, but I don't think anything will ever match that. It's light and fun, which we need a lot more of right now.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

There will be a point at the trials when the prosecutors are going to want to prove a depraved indifference to human life, and man are they going to be spoiled for material.

You can’t defeat fascism by capitulating with it. You absolutely cannot beat fascism by burying your head, and pretending electoralism will save you. You cannot reason with fascism because it is intentionally unreasonable. You have to excise it from society like the cancer it is.

And where was the league-wide condemnation when Melissa Hortman was murdered? It feels like it’s less about creating a safe environment and more about placating the Great Value Fuhrer.
