It's weird 'progressives' are suddenly against primaries.
Almost as weird as BernieBros complaining about Mills' age.

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

Wow...

Trump can't remember standing there and directing people to storm our capital now?

Can't remember he was president at the time??

Seriously, we really need to get Grandpa in a home. Now.

Governor Newsom Press Office: "In a late night post, Trump does not remember who was president on Jan 6, 2021 (he was), weirdly shouts "do something" (likely at clouds). His mental issues are very bad!"

Benny Johnson: "in a late night post, president Trump says 274 fbi agents were placed into the crowd on January 6th and says "do something"

Trump: "the Biden fbi placed 274 agents into the crowd on January 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a scam - do something. President DJT.
