Throughout recorded history
Organized Religion is most often a parallel government, a favorite tool of would-be enslavers. Its sole purpose is to control the people and capture all that they possess by destroying their autonomy, their rights, and their self governance.

So the GOP just hung our active service members out to dry like old wet towels.
What will they do to our veterans?
Our seniors?
Our non-rich?

Stephen Miller accidentally blurted out that Trump had "plenary authority" on TV today.

They're going for full-scale dictatorship.

Meanwhile, it is too late for American farmers bc of silly Turnip Games. Even if he throws them paper towels & a few ¢ on the $$$, it's a fraction of what they would've made had they sold their harvest to🇨🇳
When spring does finally come, they will have lost the farm to corporate vultures.

Yay, MAGA?

Here's the official website where you can volunteer&donate in support of California's Yes on 50

Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act

Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

Once the insurance companies realize that Men can have this painful and debilitating condition as well, they will start acknowledging it and covering it.

Republicans are at fault for the healthcare crisis & this shutdown. Our delegation is fighting on behalf of the American people.

Neither Trump nor the GOP cares about our service members, veterans, working Americans, senior citizens,... if you aren't a Trump/GOP-donating billionaire they don't care about you.

One week into a federal government shutdown, U.S. service members, DOD civilian employees and their families in Japan and South Korea were taking stock and asking how much longer, with affording groceries and rent the main concerns.

They want a civil war, they will get a revolution.

Mr. Spock 🖖 @spockresists.bsky.social · 2d

Yes. He is doing all of this to start a Civil War. That’s his plan. He wants to implement martial law.

This is pretty serious. People will literally be shooting each other in the streets of America.

What Trump is forgetting is that he will be MORE at risk.
