The Borg ship is entering our solar system!!!!! They plan to assimilate us into their collective and resistance is futile!
Turning us into drones will do nothing to lower the cost of eggs and milk for working families. To say nothing about the energy cost for all those regeneration alcoves!

I'm so old I remember a time when a mass producer of CSAM would've been torn to shreds by the law if the people didn't get to him first. Somewhere down the line we lost the will to stand up to evil, or so it seems.

And a reminder that they actually killed hundreds of thousands of people by illegally dismantling USAID.
Same day they are trying to kill kids by removing vaccine recommendations, a reminder that they also wanted to kill people by destroying medical and scientific research
Federal Appeals judge affirms prohibition of arbitrary cuts of research infrastructure rates (i.e., the IDC rate slash announcement of early Feb. 2025).
As the ruling explains, NIH's X/Twitter statements contributed to the federal government's loss in court (!!)

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”
Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

Trump may be old as dirt, but we're under the thumb of the ketamine king until we decide otherwise. I have no interest in supporting any politician who doesn't have a plan for holding him and his little shit particles to account for what they did.

In today's news, Elon Musk said a bunch of stupid shit on Twitter, something about how the EU made him want to be a woman or something. Sources say this has nothing to do with the estimated 14 million deaths that will result from his USAID cuts.

And Elon Musk, the wealthiest man on the planet, made cuts to USAid that have resulted in the deaths of 600,000 with an estimated 14 million when all is said and done.
Just a friendly reminder.
