It may be—for now—a mild form of fascism. Political opponents aren’t being jailed or shot, entire opposition media outlets aren’t being shuttered, and books aren’t being burned.

But from Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America. trib.al/a0i8hTE

Spooky Szn is normally a VERY busy time in our home, we start decorating in September. However, this year I decided to revamp all our skeletons & animatronics. I DID NOT realize the amount of time & work that would go into it 🥵 finally finishing up & can’t wait to show everyone the end result 😈☠️🎃👻✨

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms trailer has me HYPE. I love the world building of this and can’t wait to see the story unfold.

Hearing “FUCK ICE” on the news as they cover the protests in Chicago is music to my ears.

No you’re good. The way it hurts minorities is because leftists who worship the ground he walks on will continue to believe democrats and the same as republicans. Leading them to not vote. Not voting/ Us sitting out helps republicans who then enact laws that hurt minority communities.

Derek ✨ @iamderekh.bsky.social · 3d

You’re entitled to your opinion. I stand by mine. His words do more harm than good. He has repeatedly said that democrats are no different than republicans which is absolutely false. He’s just another fool with a microphone that amplifies party infighting and doesn’t allow for actual progress.

Lmao the dude has said that trans people would be in the same situation if Kamala had been elected, his hot takes hurt minority communities and he tries to play it off like he isn’t in fact a millionaire himself. He’s a joke. Video of the dog or not.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.
