Hi Bluesky,

God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.

God

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I survived a cancer scare last year. I didn't survive to see my country turn into a fascist dictatorship. I want to live to see them all held to account.
