I'm tired. Tired of felon-rapist-traitor-president supporters trying to use Insta for the benefit of white supremist oligarchs. 🙂 "...in hopes the truth will find its way to those willing to know it." -Sheryl Crow

So, where are those Epstein files?

You know their representatives are going to hear it first.

Funding is not "fluid" or "evolving," and RIFs during a shutdown are illegal. See Antideficiency Act.

All "the best people" were offended. Good. I call that a 2-for-1.

Imagine SecDef being "proud" to open a foreign military base on 🇺🇸 soil for known terrorist supporters. Wonder how long before they target 🇺🇸 citizens? 🤔

This is true. And they don't teach it in school. Billionaire Christo-fascists like Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks own the GOP in Texas. Techno-fascist Musk, for all his infamy, doesn't have their power because of the churches.

“I feel really shocked still and also very proud,” they said. “I mean, the road to writing this memoir was not an easy one."

Boo f-ing hoo. This is what "Wall Street" voted for, right?

I love that this isn't about him.

I say sue them out of business.

The only person who you get to tell what to do is the person you hire. That's capitalism, right?

Laura Veach @phoenixg75.bsky.social · 1d

The local, elected government doesn't want you (feds) there, but you intend to waste taxpayer resources on forcing the issue anyway? Sounds like state sponsored forcible rape and financial slavery by felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident to me.

"...restoring law and order..." means what to a 34 count convicted felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident?

Lying Trumpwhore J. Banks should tell us all about the huge DHS budget for "non-bureaucrats" & how thrilled Hoosiers are to be footing the bill for state-sponsored terrorism 🤬

Beware the Hypocrite, The Creep of Corruption, and senate-wannabe Ken Paxton.

Hours after announcing ‘undercover operations’ into leftist groups, Texas’ attorney general Ken Paxton compared Charlie Kirk to Jesus at a Turning Point USA event.

Yes. For real. ⬇️

Key phrase being "would like to"

Not: has a plan to, intends to implement by, has created, promises, will...

And payscales. Three things sacrosanct to capitalism.

Please pass this on. You never know who might need it.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

MTG is still a racist. Being right about health care and Epstein doesn't change that.

Laura Veach @phoenixg75.bsky.social · 1d

Seconded from Texas.

Anti-intellectualism in 🇺🇸 convinces some that their feelings are proof that facts are wrong 🙄 If it were impossible for any of these massive losers to get a job or a platform, how much better would our collective lives be?

Takes 8+ hours to drive, at highway speeds, across Texas from the panhandle to the tip or across from east to west. The folks in dense areas like Austin, Houston, DFW are protesting, even if it's not on the news. Proof: Abbott formed a "task force" to "fight violent crime" starting in Houston 🙄

The politicians owned by billionaires like Christo-fascists Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks, or Techno-fascist Musk, etc.

The Separation of Church and State is a founding principle of the USA. Either you believe in and uphold those values, or you don't. Plain and simple.

I think the short version is "alcohol poisoning of the brain in a human predator"
