When you follow, I might look at your account. Sometimes, I will follow back. Sometimes, I might just like a couple posts. When I see somebody with 5000 followers and they follow 5000 people, they will rarely ever engage with any of my posts. Dead followers are worthless. Besides, it's MY feed. ✌💙

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Every time Trump praises Putin as wanting peace, Putin bombs the living shit out of Ukraine to make Trump look like the lying, compromised old fool that he is.
Isn't it time for Trump to send real tough negotiators to Moscow instead of pansy boy Jared b/c Putin devours weakness.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
