Pierre pretends to be a friend to young people and workers struggling with economic uncertainty, but he's only interested in serving his billionaire buddies. We won’t let Pierre play our friends, families, and communities this election season.

Don't get played by Pierre
We get it. Things are broken and life feels impossible. And now Pierre Poilievre is running a slick comms campaign to try to convince us that he’s going to fix things. But we know a Conservative gove...

Can we start calling 🔥🍊💩’s press secretary Goebbels Barbie?

Hey Elon, where's the money you're stealing, er, saving, going? SHOW US THE MONEY!! And I don't mean send us blood money checks.

Impeach Elon Musk.

Do you think that that the real reason that 🔥🍊💩 is getting rid of pennies is because he wants to stop circulating little portraits of Lincoln?

If network cameras do more cutaways to Taylor than to 🔥🍊💩 today, let’s hope that his vanity is hurt and he threatens to sue or delicense the network - because it’s Fox.

I shudder to think of what 🔥🍊💩 has planned for a ‘golden age of arts and culture’ now that he’s taken over the Kennedy Center.

If this were an AppleTV+ political thriller, we'd all be watching. I wish we weren't living in one...

Now he wants to take over Gaza minus the Palestinians. He probably wants to develop real estate properties there. Disgusting, but par for the course.

The🔥🍊💩 folded, but Canada should go ahead with their counter-tariffs anyway, imo.

This is a great perspective of what's going on in the US at the moment and how it would be reported in the US if it happened elsewhere. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

So, I just leapt off the couch and yelled Chappell You Rock!!! at the television.

Hey Canada . Hey Ontario . Worth your consideration :

What does the 🔥🍊💩 plan to do with all the money he's going to make from tariffs and shrinking the government? Funny how that never comes up. And I think I know the answer and it's not good.

We need to call things what they are and hope others, maybe the mainstream media, does too. Here’s the start of a list. Please contribute:
Trump = Dictator
Trump admin = Regime
Press secretary = head of propaganda
What else?

Language matters, as republicans proved for decades.

Does the self-styled Tariff Man, aka 🔥🍊💩, realize that we're not living in the 19th century?
January 31, 2025 at 10:44 PM
Make sure to call things by their real names. Here’s the start of a list:
“Migrant Detention Camps” = Concentration Camps

Keep the list growing.

Thank you @aoc.bsky.social. We’re lucky to have you on the inside. Take care of yourself.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

He’s a dictator, not a President. Let’s mobilize around that. I wish I had an easy answer as to how, but there are answers out there if we work together.
