Hi! Changing my pinned post after 8 months. I share posts for 3 reasons: 1 this is great/bullshit and everyone should see this; 2 I need to record this in my book of horrible shit the idiot has brought us; 3 I need cute animal videos to show my husband after he sees the latest f*ckery to defuse him

I didn’t think resisting tyranny would involve ordering an inflatable chicken outfit, but I guess I really should have known.

America right now: what if the worst person you know who was also the dumbest person you know was in charge of a critical government agency?

Daily Reminder: The coup is led by men rejected young, now corrupted. white men so hollow they serve foreign powers to silence thinkers & control women. They fear truth, despise integrity, mistake cruelty for strength. Their rebellion isn’t patriotism, it’s treason. Release the files🇺🇸

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.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro says the last U.S. military strike in the Caribbean hit a Colombian boat with citizens aboard.

If Petro’s claim is accurate, it’s more than a diplomatic spat, it’s a potential international incident.

Citizens’ lives were at stake, and clarity is overdue. 👇

Uh you think so?
And the indicting GJ never heard her testimony.

“Ms. Thompson’s testimony that she has lived in the house rent-free —Ms. James pays even for basic upkeep, — cd make it difficult for prosecutors to convince a jury that the house was meant to be used as a rental investment property.”

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.
