Liberal Democrat & ally. AuDHD and probably won't respond to smalltalk DMs. Enjoys COC and other TTRPGs. Enjoys cannabis and psychedelics, and was a pioneer in cannabis policy reform. Blocking M*GA deplorables daily. Can't wait to piss on Trump's grave!

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.

Tweet from MeidasTouch: “Wow that’s crazy. Who’s running the federal government?”
Below, Acyn’s tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: “If you look at polling, people’s faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they don’t see that it’s being done well.”
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Middle of the night, Dementia Don posts about January 6th where he completely forgets he was the President that day and not Joe Biden.
No one is reining this fool in. They’re as greedy for power as Trump.

We’re hurtling toward disaster, friends.
Stay strong. Stay loud. Stay safe.

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.

Let’s call them what they are. “MAGA bastards” echoes “Nazi bastards”—a phrase burned into collective memory. Repeat it enough and the association with fascism becomes instinctive. Language shapes culture—let’s make it unforgettable.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 23h

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.
