The FOTUS hates this picture, and said they threw something on his head, lmfao. He doesn’t even recognize his own hair, which there’s very little of.

The announcement means kids using teen-specific accounts will see photos and videos on Instagram that are similar to what they would see in a PG-13 movie — no sex, drugs or dangerous stunts, among others. https://to.pbs.org/48uERrD

Instagram says it will limit teens to PG-13 content by default as safeguard

The company is also adding an even stricter setting that parents can set up for their children.

Well the FOTUS and his lot all got theirs, they just don’t want anyone else to have them. Reminder; Stephen Miller’s objective is to only have 100 million people living in America. That means they need to get rid of over 200 million. They’re working hard to accomplish their goal.

President Trump is trying to deploy the military and federal law enforcement in U.S. cities to stoke fear, suppress free speech, and expand his power by any means necessary.

People across the country must keep pushing back and advocating for their communities and their rights.

My opponent is still opposed to same-sex marriage. She thinks it’s okay for Virginians to be fired for being gay. And when confronted about it on the debate stage, she doubled down.

Winsome Earle-Sears is too extreme for Virginia. Watch our new ad 🎬:

Where have these networks been. Oh that’s right they’ve been promoting this administration and everything they do. Now they stand their ground against this authoritarian regime. This is why I turned them all off over 20 years ago. I don’t need their opinions to know what’s happening to America.😢

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!
