Gerrymandered states may appear “Red”when actually, they are suppressed. Many have thousands of DEM voters. They are seeking one another, organizing, canvassing & pushing back rather than conceding. These folks have my utmost respect. 🫶🏼

Listen carefully to how they plan on falsely attacking anyone with opposing views & the expected tampering of voting machines.

This is but one reason why they’re brazen & unstoppable; except, there dealing with hundreds of millions of people.

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

Wilson Dizard III @wpd3.bsky.social · 1d

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

As they continue flooding all forms of communications, let us not loose sight that non- investigated hangings/lynchings of are increasing throughout the US.
Here’s the problem, ANYONE, regardless of race/ethnicity can become a target. Lawlessness is no respecter of race or ethnicity.

Meryl @meggsy46.bsky.social · 24d

Is this the return of lynching in the Southern States? If so the future of the USA will be more horrendous that I previously thought. My God, we can't let this happen, just like we can't let the Palestine Genocide continue. What on earth is the answer to ending these atrocities? I despair.
