Greed has delivered us into the hands of an incontinent, incompetent, felonious racist with delusions of grandeur.
So thank you, politicians. I hope your money comforts you as the country burns down around us. Just remember, if we burn, you burn with us. #powertothepeople #nokings #endcitizensunited

Disgusting.

I think a lot of people will be in for a horrifying suprise, come judgment day.

Istg if he were to win it (he won't), I'd take it as a clear sign that it's time to punch my ticket. This world has gone mad.

Jamal has been trying on here for over a year to have enough to get his family out when the crossing opens which is hopefully within weeks 🤞🤞

Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5

Meanwhile, teachers buy their own supplies, schools crumble, hospitals close, and kids go hungry.

Soothing a panic attack by binging youtube vids of Steve Irwin, so now i'm sad instead of panicked. I adored Steve and his infectious love for animals, and it sucks that he's gone. That said, Terri, Bindi, and Robert have done him so proud. There are still good people in this world.

Sadly true. Henry Kissinger was the Forrest Gump of war crimes.

Be careful and stay safe, Jamal.

Reminds me of the "minister" in Dearborn howling about the call to prayer. No mention of Christian church bells, just the call. He also demands that the mayor of Dearborn publicly denounce hammas and hezbollah. Last I checked, pastors were supposed to lead their flock, not engage in politics.

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

If that's what it takes. Serve and Protect doesn't cease to apply when its the feds breaking the law.

If you want to be a trad wife, be my guest. But if you plan to force other women to follow suit, you've got another thing coming. I am not demure, nor subservient, nor meek. The honey badger ain't got nothing on me, and nobody is going to take women's freedom away without a bloody fight.

Why aren't the dems pursuing other avenues to get her sworn in? They have options. Why are they not using them?

StellaMay 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸🇺🇦 @stellamay7.bsky.social · 13h

Are NOT having her sworn in. Damn the lack of edit function.

StellaMay 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸🇺🇦 @stellamay7.bsky.social · 15h

I pray that it lasts. Get some rest, friend.

StellaMay 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸🇺🇦 @stellamay7.bsky.social · 15h

The question is why dems are having her sworn in by someone else. Their hands aren't tied, they're making the choice not to swear her in. Why?

Until he orders the state police, sheriff's departments, and city PDs to stop protecting and aiding ice, it's all just words. He's talking a tough game, which is great, but there's been no action. Put up or shut up, this is not the time for speechifying.

StellaMay 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸🇺🇦 @stellamay7.bsky.social · 16h

I'd take pritzker more seriously if he ordered the state police, sheriff's department, and city PDs to stop aiding and protecting ice. At this point, he's just blowing hot air like newsome.

Don't tell Palestinians not to have hope or that the ceasefire deal is doomed.

They know what Trump is. They know what the Occupation is. They live under Occupation every day. We're not doing them any favors telling them what they already know.

Let them have hope. We all need it. So do they.
