I can’t catch my breath

The room is too small
The air is too thin
And the wealthy are using our bones to pick their teeth

PS

If my posts saying that ICE needs to be a target for Americans upset you

You aren’t paying attention

We are literally under an active hostile take over by Nazis

Either admit you are an apologist for Nazis

Or get on board

There is no grey in between

That’s the Gestapo

That’s a tyrannical extension

The Gestapo needs to be taken out.

Following MTG's lengthy CNN sitdown interview, Wolf Blitzer tells her:

"You‘re a courageous politician, but more important, a loving mother. Thanks very much for coming in. We hope you‘ll come back here in the Situation Room."

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

I have a suggestion for the Pope

Maybe let the poor be fed and housed in your big ass mansion city

Or house and feed them at the dioceses.

Or even the fucking local churches

Yes, I agree with Leo

But he is also throwing that stone from behind the comfort of a big ass glass house.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 1d

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Life of a recruiter:

Do you know how many criminal reports of pedophiles come thru job apps?

I am starting to wonder if some pedophiles get off on knowing recruiters will see their crimes

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

I genuinely feel my own personal extinction level event coming

It will be fueled by righteous menopausal rage and result in me ending it all…in a blaze of fucking glory

I know if it happens it was because I was feeling cold and needed to melt the ice
