Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

Some of us march
Others of us #write
But resistance is resistance
Howl in the face of fascism
call out their lies
and their illegal acts
Don't bend to their evil pacts
This will never be normal
in the land of the free
home of the once brave...

My frank case against the #Trump presidency in 10 parts...#TheTrumpYears is a #poetic howl about living under the daily nightmare of the first #Trump administration
It’s very relevant for the horror we are living through today...

They say ignorance is bliss
seducing us with a soulless kiss
hoping it’s the big picture we’ll miss
Baby, don’t believe it
They are killing the souls of you and me
I want to pull down the veil
to see the inner workings
behind our empty lives

As every other old white MAGA Republican, Kid Rock at 54 years old and is angry that when he’s creeping around college campuses lewdly checking out 18yo girls, they have dyed their hair and have nose rings.

Laura Ingraham literally wrote a book called "Shut Up and Sing" castigating performers to their mouths shut about politics. Some people might say it's a stretch to call Kid Rock a musician, but I disagree!

Kid Rock criticising "these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings" when he's literally getting around with those stupid ugly yellow glasses and cowboy hat, and his pedo moustache. Crawl back under a rock and be silent you dumb fuck.

I mean, one advantage of not being MAGA is that I don't have to pretend to take Kid Rock seriously as a political thinker.

I’ve lived in Hermosa in Chicago nearly my entire life. It’s an 80+% Latino community. There are no words for what we’re experiencing right now. I can’t stress this enough—

My home, my people are being psychologically terrorized
People are going missing
People are terrified

Don’t forget about us.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Grandma had her Great Depression,
I am living through the Great Recession,
thinking about how things used to be.

They say it’s not as bad as
back then,
but it feels bad just the same.
Can’t find a job,
might lose my house,
finding out what depression is all about.

May not be bread lines,
but there’s swelling unemployment lines,
and losing hope all the time.

While politicians
and economists search
for answers why,
it’s as simple as greed and lies
and reckless policies over time.

A depression lurks in our hearts
as this recession tears us all apart.
