Slow fingers…

This is basically @radiofreetom.bsky.social’s argument for why we are not in a fascist state.

Ok, we need to get a count. Please raise your hand if you are *not* in the Epstein files. 🤚

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

My 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents.
