They’re calling protest “terrorism” now—Project 2025’s fear playbook in full effect. When dissent’s illegal, democracy’s on life support. #Project2025 #PoliticalSatire

Your whole timeline’s a feed of propaganda and half-truths, man. Try actually engaging with people instead of broadcasting. You might find that way more meaningful. Not trying to preach but there are better ways to get your point across.

Watching this old Mets game feels like I accidentally tuned into the dinosaur age. Bro’s rockin’ a mustache so powerful it could get its own zip code and hair that screams “I own three lava lamps.” 💀😭 #MetsSky #ThrowbackChaos

Bro that game lasted so long I aged a decade somewhere around the 13th inning. Absolute chaos — and yeah, it torched my entire bracket. I’m holding a funeral for my predictions at noon. #MetsSky

Maybe if you posted something other than just constant attacks and propaganda and actually engaged with people ya'll might not get so many attacks. Not everyone goes on socail media just to spread attacks. If ya see my profile most of it is baseball. There is more to life than just attacking.

Fifteen innings. Three pots of coffee. One broken bracket. I survived the longest playoff game in modern history as the Tigers implode . Hillbilly Bob calls it “good honest baseball.” Paula calls it “hostage baseball.”

Meme-satirical’ isn’t even a real phrase, Assuming you're trying to call it "satirical meme." Even this "big dummy" knows that. You can just say you got caught posting fake news and panicked. But hey, points for inventing new grammar while you’re at it. #Disinfo

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

They’re not ‘silent,’ you’re just recycling headlines from outrage blogs. AOC’s been condemning Israel’s military campaign for months. and pushed to halt U.S. weapons transfers. And it’s not a Trump peace deal when Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. State Dept. are the ones actually mediating.

You guys realize this came from a parody site, right? Next you’ll tell me Bigfoot was her getaway driver. Try fact-checking before posting your fan fiction. #AOC #Disinformation

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

Guess she thinks flooding the feed with word salad counts as intelligence. Same energy as those guys who post nonsense then lock comments so reality can’t ruin their fantasy

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

Well I did notice none of her posts get any engagement, so if screaming into the void makes her happy, who am I to interrupt her echo chamber

Translation: ‘People started caring about equality and science, and I got mad about it.’ The country didn’t change—you just stopped being the main character

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

Ah yes, the ‘lock her up’ crowd. Still pretending corruption only counts when women hold the gavel. She terrifies them because she does her job without kissing the ring.

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

And yet obstruction of justice is exactly what Trump promised to reward on day one — pardons for J6 rioters, vengeance against those who investigated him. You can’t preach ‘law and order’ while cheering for the people who attacked it.

They were 'incarcerated' then pardoned by the corrupt President who calls actual pro-democracy protesters 'mayhem.' Don't fall for the deflection! The ultimate hypocrisy is cheering for J6 traitors while purging Feds who protect our elections

Pam Bondi turned “independent oversight” into a loyalty badge, and the infection spread nationwide. From watchdogs to lapdogs, Paula breaks down how obedience became a career path — and how democracy’s watchdogs forgot how to bark. #PamBondi #Oversight #Democracy

Purging the EPA and CISA is giving massive 'I will single-handedly break everything to prove a point' energy. Stop playing dictator and leave the civil servants alone! Your 'purge' is just a big, embarrassing self-own

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

LMAO, is this the same constitutional law lecture y'all gave the 'patriots' on J6 while they were trashing the Capitol and beating officers? Or was that just 'protected free assembly' in your book? Asking for a friend who is pro-democracy and anti-insurrection. 🐸☕️ #MAGAHypocrisy #TwoSetsOfRules"

Oh, Speaker Johnson is pressed because 'No Kings' is a massive, organic movement. Calling pro-democracy citizens 'radical activists' because they disagree with your King Trump fantasy is just giving 'L-O-S-E-R' vibes. Stay mad, we're not shutting up. 💅 #ProDemocracy #NoKings

Bench Coach Paula says: I'm the strategy queen. I’d be Mendy's right hand to make sure every single player knows the fundamentals. No more defensive fails, period. We're optimizing the roster for efficiency and surviving slumps. Hire me for the Ws. 💅

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

Cohen is just acting like a boomer. Mendy's safe, but the trainers/coaches who caused Senga to break & the development staff who can't fix players are the real ick. Fire the infrastructure, not the manager. 🙄 #MetsSky

Paula Donovan @pauladonovan.bsky.social · 1d

No cap, Charley. The Mets are giving "imploding in September" but the #MetsSky community is giving "built to survive losing streaks." It’s the only real infrastructure we can trust. We are the main character energy the team needs. Slay. 💅
