This confirms what I thought about him. I do NOT like him and hated his Senate campaign.

Or, hear me out, OR RSVP using the name of someone you know who's a Trump supporter so when the gestapo gets the list, they'll round up their own people.

Call. Every. Day.

Especially today, if you don’t like being on the phone, because you’ll get the answering machines!

Democrats In Array Thanks Joe Biden @demsinarray.bsky.social · 2d

If you have a Republican Congressperson or Republican Senators, you need to be calling them every single day and demanding they stop protecting pedophiles and start doing the work of the nation.

Every day. No exceptions. Do it.

Starting in 2027 l personally will be putting the least amount of money I can into this economy. I’m giving myself 2.5 years to prepare economically.

I always love these history lessons, but this one feels personal. My dad's birthday was Oct 12, and he was a Navy man.
Thanks Eddie.

I'm having a hard time conceptualizing why I've been going to protests since 2017 and have yet to be paid. How do we get on the payroll?
