Wanted to just do a ❤️ in response to your post, but it seems nonsensical to use an emoji generally understood as "love/like" when all I really want to do is say I agree 💯%.

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

Patriarchy always works to erase the telling of stories about the past in the voices of the oppressed/colonized. This obliterates the reality of "pastory" as a web of spiraling actions/events & replaces it with a line running from "big bang" to "the end."

Remember. Resist.
Oct 18 is NO KINGS DAYS.

Agree 💯% with the French pair! However, as a 74 year old who for 50 years protested/advocated/lobbied, I simply can't show up every night to protest the white supremacist capitalist authoritarian oligarchic fascist regime in the US.

I can commit to using sidewalk chalk everyday!

Yes you did! The orange guy told you everything he was going to do and you voted for him anyway. So glad you are "cooling on him" now, but GEEZ.

RESIST & take action NOW against the white supremacist capitalist autocratic oligarchic fascist regime!

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Serious question: Who actually makes sure the seemingly demented orange POTUS is sitting at his desk when the cameras roll?

Great news about @amymcgrath.bsky.social running for Kentucky senate seat!

AND REMEMBER:
* Vote in every election no matter where you live. To VOTE is to RESIST the white supremacist capitalist authoritarian oligarchic fascist regime.

* Oct 18 = NO KINGS protest everywhere in US. Check it out!

I’m super jazzed that @amymcgrath.bsky.social is going to run for the OPEN senate seat in Kentucky and that we’ll still have a strong candidate for this race!!!

McConnells record is so bad even KY Rs hate him.

McGrath says you’re not done fighting, and neither is she.

Oh. Election denier and right winger Pizzagate TPUSA hack Jack Posobiec appears to have voted illegally - living in Maryland but voting in Pennsylvania. From Jacqueline Sweet at @slate.com and @marisakabas.bsky.social at The Handbasket: slate.com/news-and-pol...

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans.

Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.
