MAGA just found out that they let a billionaire class buy their election so they could get as many immigrants as they want, cheaper, to work ungodly hours instead of Americans. 🧵

The present GOP talking point is that Only “old” people showed up at No Kings!
Yep, Damn right we showed up!
We show up at the Ballot Box too!
You are the First Administration that has pissed off the Grandpa’s and Grandma’s.
You have no idea what you’ve awakened.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

And they're all so delusional, all they will say is he's getting donations for it, not using any public money…and then he's going to donate it to the united states.

Black teens? Try them as adults! Grown ass mostly white men? Just kids being kids!

A tweet from Jessica Tarlov says: “Guess they’re not just kids being kids!” It quotes a New York Times tweet that reads: “Breaking News: The New York chapter of the Young Republicans is set to be disbanded by the party's state leaders after racist texts among the groups across the U.S....”

DJT showing himself as a cartoonish wanna be king shitting all over the people of the United States is the most accurate piece of propaganda he has ever shared.

Republicans in charge of Congress have abdicated all responsibility for governing the nation to Trump. There are no checks. There are no balances. No Kings.

You know what today marks? 3 WEEKS since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election to represent #AZ07 in Congress.

That is 3 weeks more that 700k Arizonans have gone without representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear her in. Stop delaying and do your job.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

It's a good reminder to look at the actual text every once in a while.

The First Ammendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I‘d actually very much love to live in a world where I didn’t feel obligated to Vote Blue No Matter Who because there are multiple things I’d change about the Democratic Party if I could, but every presidential election for the rest our lives is a referendum on whether Groypers should have nukes.
