Not actually Batgirl.
If this account were a book, it would be a spicy, queer manifesto with a side of sarcastic footnotes and a oatmilk Earl Grey latte with lavender syrup.

Apparently this was due to an identity fraud ring. Still seriously side eyeing it.
Y’all, ICE is raiding Zipps locations throughout Phoenix apparently as an “ongoing criminal investigation.”

Yup. Like MN, our SoS refused to turn over our voter registration information to the DOJ. Also AG Mayes has fought the administration at every turn.
They’re angry because they were defeated in Minneapolis, and they're angry about the solidarity protests in Phoenix, and they're STEALING
Another reminder these people are not "law enforcement"

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

You motherfuckers have to learn how to take a win and not whine about whether people use the magic words you want them to use. Take the motherfucking win motherfucker.
I think it’s a really weak message. It doesn’t even name a federal agency responsible for any of this. It’s mushy. It’s REALLY mushy.

This. If we don’t bare minimum win back the house we are FUCKED.
That’s what I don’t understand. It’s people who should know better by now. Who should understand how dangerous it is to discourage support for Democrats as the midterms approach. If we fumble this election, that’s it. We’re likely fucked indefinitely. But they still sit on this app bashing Dems.
