Yo Trump, you fucking fascist dictator!
This is a perfect example why you'll never get that Nobel Peace Prize won by Obama.
This is YOUR America:

Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

Trump declared Antifa a terrorist organization. There is no cohesive Antifa organization. The entire Allied forces fighting Hitler were antifascist,,the definition of Antifa, antifascist.

The Führer Trump’s gestapo are now entering houses and killing dogs. No one nor their families and pets are safe in the United States of America. Nowhere in your country is safe. A very sad upstairs neighbour 🇨🇦

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

Who does Johnson think he’s fooling?! Dude sent the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing the Epstein files, and he’s keeping them away for the same reason.

Congress is still getting paid, but Johnson won’t bring the House back to fund the military. This is on him, not the Democrats.

We're on day 10 of the GOP's shutdown—which is all about them cutting Americans' healthcare to fund billionaire tax breaks.

@whipkclark.bsky.social and Democrats alike refuse to let Republicans get away with this.
