The circus is here to wear people down. It's here to confuse, cause chaos, and drive apathy. Trump wants us exhausted. A people who are beat down, exhausted, and apathetic, will let their government do anything it wants. That's Trump's plan. That's his only plan.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

First they came for the comedians... & I said FUCK YOU you Nazi loving, women hating, power mongering, intolerant, anti-Democracy goons. We aren't afraid of you. The people are more powerful than your hate. History bends towards justice, & we the people will not stand for this 🖕🏻

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.

The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

This man impressed people across the board today. He had a fundraiser with upwards of 250 people tonight, in the heart of MAGA country, on a Monday night in September, during an off year, with 14 months until the election. People are fed up!

Woooweeee. This was a violent, awful week. I process and express myself best through my writing. Getting this out of my head helped. Maybe it will help you, too.

MAGA, you were right to be worried about an Epstein cover up. You were right to care deeply about the economy. You were right to want to put working families first. So let’s be consistent - It’s time to turn on Trump, he's failed you miserably every front.

Jeffrey Epstein had a system for manipulating people, which is just one more thing he and Trump had in common. Watch Jess Michaels share her story on the LP Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFqeOt_rNFM

Democrats spend far too much time thinking and talking about how to attack Trump & his party.

No one attack ever works in politics. What does work is a commitment to sustained aggression. Attack, attack, attack.

How Newsom is attacking is much less important than the fact that he is attacking.

Just here to remind everyone that the federalization of DC, Putin's visit, the gilded Oval and ballroom, sending the FBI after the Dems fleeing TX, etc are just more attempts by the administration to divert attention from Epstein. Epstein is the REAL story until further notice.

Can’t say he didn’t tell us that he would terminate parts of the US Constitution he didn’t like.

He posted this in December 2022.

My latest for @lincolnsquare.media is a reminder why we can't let the Epstein scandal die, based on personal experience. Please consider giving it a read and a share. ❤️

RIP Ozzy. Apparently there can be only one Prince of Darkness at a time and it seems Stephen Miller has locked up the title.

The agencies responsible for protecting you in extreme weather events were cut under Trump. In times of crisis, Trump will gladly leave you and your family at risk.

Bro is trying to sell a bottle of hot piss that smells like old man sweat, McDonald's road trip farts (don't play. You are ALL familiar), and Elon Musk's post-coitus grundle for the bargain price of $250. #TrumpCologne
