Please use critical thinking.

They demonize Universal Healthcare because they can’t make money on it.

People are killing our nation just because they don’t research anything!

Please use critical thinking.

Our nation needs everyone to think AND question.

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag.
– $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

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.

They´re not interested in the truth and even if they were they wouldn´t recognize it.

So true.😢

needtruths.bsky.social @needtruths.bsky.social · 3h

These people just listen to the lies and believe them. They don't take the time to learn the truth. When they cry about the situation, tell them they are responsible for it because they didn't bother looking into the person telling the lies.

Ode to the Portland Frog

From the mist of the moss and the grey Oregon rain, There leaps a green hero to ease all the pain.

My love for this frog is a powerful thing, For the justice and freedom his ribbit can bring.

With a croak full of spirit and a firm little bound, He stands up to bigots who poison the ground.

He's our small, squat defender, so brave and so fast, A symbol of hope that forever will last.

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.

The Conservative Way.

Beats buying millions of acres of land, from the natives, for trinkets.

Their most masterful Con.

Remember, you can’t spell Conservatives, without a con.

"Emergency Orders" aren't fully debated before the whole court, have limited if any oral argument, and are issued with only brief, if any, explanations. The Trump court loves them. Now that they're back in session they have to face them.

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔
