Trump put most of his commercial properties in Democratic cities/states. He's not building any new hotels in ruby red Republican idiots-ville. He hasn't sold his NYC apartment. Fox won't move its HQ out of NYC. Trump and Fox are selling shit to the Republican rubes while Trump steals.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

We’re about to enter our LAST WEEK of our livestream fundraising experiment.

I wanted to prove that campaign fundraising can be fun and transparent instead of being reliant on rich people.

ICYMI, here’s how it’s been going:

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

I'd laugh my ass off if the guard rebelled and starting rounding up all Trump adjacent billionaires. Benioff would then be like, "No,no,no not like that, I wanted them to rid the city of the rabble (some people who don't worship money) I don't want to see."

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
