People forget the “trouble” in making good trouble. I am so proud of all of the school children who are protesting. And I think it is appropriate that they face some level of consequence for missing school, such as being marked for an unexcused absence.

If they weren’t classy, it would be funny if the Obamas posted a video with Trump’s and Epstein’s faces on little dogs that run around humping everything.

Too many people are mad about kids attending protests, and not enough people are mad about kids appearing in the Epstein files.

If someone accused Tom Hanks or Bill Nye of rape or child SA, most people would severely question it because their character doesn’t align with that perception. But the man who brags of grabbing women by the pussy, brags about seen undressed teens at a pageant he owns, and who has decades

I’m just going to start referring to Trump as the future corpse to give myself hope.

If we’re all getting paid to protest today, shouldn’t the pro-capitalist party be celebrating the boost to the economy? 🤔

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

It’s important to note that they aren’t banning puberty blockers. They are only banning them for the treatment of gender dysphoria. For any other condition they can still be prescribed. I think there is a word for this? Discrimin-something?

Oregon lawmakers should VOTE NO on HB 3835 which loosens protections for foster youth, and reopens the floodgates to sending vulnerable kids to abusive residential programs out of state again. Kids deserve better! #ORPOL #TTI #FosterYouth #FosterCare #ChildAbusePrevention #Oregon #ChildrensRights

#CorneliusFrederick would be turning 22 this year, free from the foster care system. Staff killed him for throwing a sandwich while his peers watched. 5/1 is the anniversary of his death. This is what the #TTI looks like. Look at this beautiful boy who was killed by his “treatment providers.” RIP
