An Open Letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Who Thinks My Daughter Is a Tragedy

This needs to stop!! Our country is being taken over by an unaccountable Proud Boy militia!

He would gladly accept a Nobel prize for narcissism and brag about it endlessly.

This is so ridiculous - my kid is the same age and this age is too afraid to talk to their professors - forget about running a company.

She seems to have forgotten shut up and dribble, right??

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 5d

It’s a TikTok video!!! Not evidence for anything!

Or federalized the Massachusetts National guard to patrol Texas

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 6d

He never has

Complete coward.

Whenever the GOP has a child-based policy decision to make, they always choose the option that hurts children the most. Every. Damn. Time.

She is so cringe. I can’t stand to listen to her.

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

It’s like he’s still doing bits on Fox and Friends.

The most juvenile unserious group of people ever. Our government is run by that super obnoxious group of immature jerks from everybody’s 8th grade.

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 12d

What is happening in our society that horrible stuff like this isn’t cause for uproar across the country? It is outrageous that this is happening and even more so that it can’t break through the noise.

We need to go back to calling these guys weird, a la Tim Walz. They relish being called racists and Nazis too much, and love seeing Dems get upset.

These are seriously emotionally stunted people at the highest levels of our government.

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 13d

That’s quite a statement about this administration’s priorities.

ICE is an unaccountable Proud Boy paramilitary arm of an authoritarian regime.

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 14d

How are there any people who still support this and give him money??

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 16d

That certainly seems like his governing theme.

Hattie @hattie17.bsky.social · 16d

Either he’s confused or intentionally sharing AI slop of himself. Not sure which is worse.

They don’t even think that far. The women who support Trump see elements of Trump in the men in their lives, so calling that out in Trump would require calling that out in their own husbands and upending their own worlds. That’s definitely the case with these elderly women.
