I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

"Branding individuals as 'narco-terrorists' without proof just to open the door to lethal force is not a legitimate policy,it’s a dangerous fantasy. It bypasses due process, shreds constitutional limits, and pushes America toward another unnecessary foreign war."

Swear to all the dark gods of the void, if I hear very concerned from a member of Congress again I'm going to run around my house breaking shit. Those human polyps have the power to address this crap if they'd just USE IT, instead of putting on some Susan Collins cosplay contest.

Donald Trump's racial comments are growing increasingly bold, normalized and permissible, his critics say, as some of his allies and supporters no longer consider them out of bounds.

It is hilarious to me that me saying that I will announce what I plan to do on 12/8, like I’ve been saying is scaring the heck out of so many people. The attacks are funny. Note to those that don’t know how politics works, only the threat gets attacked🤷🏾♀️.

For all of those stupid little fucks, who are too idiotic, they should be kept away from social media based on just how moronic they are.
No. Troops do not have to OBEY Trump.
Ethics hold laws accountable.
That’s why troops in Nazi Germany were prosecuted.
