Leaving twitter Rebuilding I follow back Resisters Still in shock for America... We warned them. The Resistance should have prevailed. How they could choose to bring the POS back just doesn't make sense. Always #VoteBlue Climate Change is real!

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

They are growing more violent, less concerned with the law. This is what Dr. Bray has said about fascist movements. They come to power promising law and order, but they break laws to exert power.

Feds? They're mostly liking frenzied, sadistic Jan6ers, Oath Keepers and Patriot Front.

This is why they don't want reporters around the pentagon. He is going to declare these protests to be riots and attack the people protesting. My prayer is that our military refuses to attack Americans exercising their first amendment rights

The Bigger the cover-up, the bigger the scandal. That Trump is doing this grotesque circus act must only mean that #TheEpsteinFiles is without a doubt, the Biggest scandal in American history.
Americans cannot simply Want to see #TheEpsteinFiles. Our Democracy Demands we see #TheEpsteinFiles.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
