They literally made up fake evidence to support their pro-conversion therapy torture argument. It's all a lie.

Of course, the SCOTUS will rule for them. www.advocate.com/politics/con...

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

As a reminder, when Jack Posobiec was in the US Navy, they assessed his full capabilities and concluded that he was best suited to collecting samples for urinalysis

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

I do not deal with a large portion of family anymore. They have just become a hive mind. None of them are who they once were. They just spout rightwing talking points and blatant racism. When they are called on it or corrected, they get enraged. There is no point wasting my time or energy anymore.

This is why I deleted my Facebook account.

Yes I can be friends with people who I disagree with politically. But that means disagreements like “should more or less tax money go to this department or that one?”

It doesn’t mean “are these people human, or not?”

Meme saying: It depressed the hell out of me that people I used to consider friends have turned into people I wouldn’t tell where Anne Frank was hiding.”

🚨I am saying this to everyone for FUTURE reference (if we get there). Please PLEDGE✋ to make healthcare a crucial issue ALWAYS. In 9 yrs as a Patient & Patient Advocate, it's always been: NO ONE CARES about healthcare UNTIL it's hanging by a thread. This MUST change if YOU want UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE!
