In larger cities, I'd say beware of agitators, as that Nazi imbecile is looking for excuses to move against us. Nonetheless, Bowzer is right! Please show up!

Next step is No Kings 10/18.

There are over 2000 rallies planned. Let’s go for 10 million people plus.

SHOW UP!!!

A Republican-made disaster. Are ALL the GOP legislators behind this? Really? Speak up, you pathetic, spineless bastards.

And those for whom Kamala wasn't politically pure enough, or some such bullshit, and those who were too fkn apathetic or lazy to vote at all.

Someone has got to stop the maniacs in what's left of our government. You want to know why I won't tolerate criticism of Kamala? Because if you didn't vote for her, or sat this out, you did this. ⬇️

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I'm not trying to evade this, just very tired right now. But I've read that she agreed with blowing up the Venezuelan boats. I suggest you look that up, but if I can help more when I'm awake, I will.

I just read about Machado being a Trump ally. Why do we never really seem to win, these days.
