Y’all, think your #pollen count is high? Try 14,801! It’s like there’s yellow in the air, coating everything, even pets and clothes if you’re out only for a walk. Lakes and creeks look like someone shook yellow powder or cornmeal on them. #AtlantaPollen

In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.
Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.
At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit
