I'm tired. Tired of felon-rapist-traitor-president supporters trying to use Insta for the benefit of white supremist oligarchs. 🙂 "...in hopes the truth will find its way to those willing to know it." -Sheryl Crow

This is true. And they don't teach it in school. Billionaire Christo-fascists like Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks own the GOP in Texas. Techno-fascist Musk, for all his infamy, doesn't have their power because of the churches.

The only person who you get to tell what to do is the person you hire. That's capitalism, right?

The local, elected government doesn't want you (feds) there, but you intend to waste taxpayer resources on forcing the issue anyway? Sounds like state sponsored forcible rape and financial slavery by felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident to me.

"...restoring law and order..." means what to a 34 count convicted felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident?

Lying Trumpwhore J. Banks should tell us all about the huge DHS budget for "non-bureaucrats" & how thrilled Hoosiers are to be footing the bill for state-sponsored terrorism 🤬

Yes. For real. ⬇️

MTG is still a racist. Being right about health care and Epstein doesn't change that.

Seconded from Texas.

Anti-intellectualism in 🇺🇸 convinces some that their feelings are proof that facts are wrong 🙄 If it were impossible for any of these massive losers to get a job or a platform, how much better would our collective lives be?

Takes 8+ hours to drive, at highway speeds, across Texas from the panhandle to the tip or across from east to west. The folks in dense areas like Austin, Houston, DFW are protesting, even if it's not on the news. Proof: Abbott formed a "task force" to "fight violent crime" starting in Houston 🙄

The Separation of Church and State is a founding principle of the USA. Either you believe in and uphold those values, or you don't. Plain and simple.

New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a global Christo-fascist movement that defined the "7 Mountain Mandate" of Dominion over society thru family, religion, education, government, media, arts & business. "They" are whomever helps Christo-fascism smash the Separation of Church & State.

"Appropriate or necessary"
Hope folks are paying attention b/c he's saying the quiet part out loud. Regime is OK w/ citizens working essential government jobs going w/o pay. How long could u do that before no pay meant no groceries? Remove. Arrest. Repeat until every R enabling this is in prison.
