I'm tired. Tired of felon-rapist-traitor-president supporters trying to use Insta for the benefit of white supremist oligarchs. 🙂 "...in hopes the truth will find its way to those willing to know it." -Sheryl Crow

Texas, just another reminder how completely scummy both of our Senators are.

[South Carolina, Kentucky, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming, North Carolina? Y'all have similar "issues" 🤬]

New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a global Christo-fascist movement that defined the "7 Mountain Mandate" of Dominion over society thru family, religion, education, government, media, arts & business. "They" are whomever helps Christo-fascism smash the Separation of Church & State.

"Appropriate or necessary"
Hope folks are paying attention b/c he's saying the quiet part out loud. Regime is OK w/ citizens working essential government jobs going w/o pay. How long could u do that before no pay meant no groceries? Remove. Arrest. Repeat until every R enabling this is in prison.

If KKKaroline Lying Trumpwhore Leavitt "is one of the most trustworthy" people you know, your internal scale has been off by at least 100% for most of a year 😳 Also, you're bad at your job.

Abbott threatens to withhold money from cities with pride crosswalks

That would appear to include Houston, San Antonio and Austin, which all have rainbow crosswalks.

Felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident may be the most anticipated obituary in history, but Roberts has got to be a close 2nd.

Proving you're against murder by *checks notes* .... killing women?

Felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident in a nutshell and HIS own words: "...who is _______ to say that?" (no one is allowed to tell me 'no'!)

As usual, I feel that the rich old men, like Abbott, should go first if they think it's such a great idea. He can't deploy because he's in a wheelchair, but he has no problem sending others to do something he never could himself. No skin in the game is not who should be calling the shots.

Waiting for Tiny Johnson to develop a sudden case of "appendicitis" as Grijalva's family arrives 🙄

I'm not worried about this hypothetical scenario happening at all 🤬 I'd like Tiny Johnson to prove that the hospital isn't incentivized to file for reimbursement from the government and then charge the young woman citizen 3x what it cost to treat her and try to ruin her credit in the process?

Abbott's disability is his lack of compassion for other people and his beholdenness to billionaire Christo-fascists, not his use of a wheelchair.

Tiny Johnson systematically acts as though every issue is either beneath his attention or above his authority 🙄 Dude, it's not Goldilock's 3 bears. Doing your job is every day, whether you like pushing back or not, not only when it feels "just right."

Make sure you read the report about how Stephen Miller deported Waco's favorite Mexican restaurant owner.

There is no "Anti-Anti"

Some journo should ask the senator to define plenary authority, then ask why Stephen Miller brought it up on a national newscast 😳

I remember learning "Feliz Navidad" alongside "Silent Night" and "The First Noel"
Don't remember anyone freaking out about a song in Spanish back then 🤷‍♀️

Tiny Johnson means Bad Bunny doesn't appeal to racist 🫏🎩s or smarmy bug-eating Renfields like him 🙄

Rethuglikkklans are also responsible for the federal hiring freeze, which means new air traffic controllers are not being trained and staffed. People who are flying right now should know the dangers of ATC who are overwhelmed by long hours and heavy traffic.

Absolutely. Congressional pay & benefits should be linked to the median income of the state each represents. Budget on time or ineligible for reelection.

Not saying it's entirely Missouri's responsibility, but this might be a better solution than the death penalty...

Who cares what felon-rapist-traitor-pedopresident thinks about the kickoff rule or the halftime show? Is he going to buy out all the NFL's advertising and ticketing? No? Then stfu. If you don't like football, don't spend money at the games 🙄 It's ridiculously simple.
