I've pressed 'discard' on probably ten drafts of a post so far today.

There is literally a LIST of people who have HARMED CHILDREN and they're refusing to release the information. Is everyone that wants to actually protect children a 'Hamas terrorist'?

JFC.

These serial liars are ripping our country apart.

THIS is how little they have to offer the rest of the country that they demonize every single person that isn't them? They've literally done NOTHING to improve the situation of Americans.

And they're PROTECTING CHILD ABUSERS.

“But the reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys. They tell edgy, offensive jokes. We're not going to allow the worst moment in a 21-year-old group chat to ruin a kid's life for the rest of time. That's just not okay." Vance accused Politico's report of "canceling kids."

Food for thought today...
They will know we are Christians by our love... I don't know if they would? Did you know the Talmud recognizes eight genders? Perhaps some need to think differently? Learn, Teach, Love... That's it!

You know who says 'anti-fascism is terrorism'?

FASCISTS.

This has quickly become about a desegregation of America. That's NOT the America I want to live in, and I know millions more of us feel this way.

They're not even trying to hide it. Gone are the days in which these views were couched in doublespeak. The racism is on shameless, full display in the most powerful rooms in the federal government.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

REFUSE to let this government tell American citizens that resisting fascism is terrorism.

This is AMERICA. And you live here.

RESIST.

A government SHUTDOWN is why federal workers aren't getting paid, NOT a protest that's supposed to happen in 3 days.

This failure of word association is EXACTLY why people are protesting.

We do NOT have kings in the United States.

'No Kings' is a protest movement that is intended for Americans to use their constitutional rights to voice opposition to authoritarianism.

'No Kings' does NOT mean 'no paychecks'. Do NOT let them fool you or act as if they have the power to withhold anything from you.

This is the entire fight.

A precondition for Republics to transition to autocracies is the politicization of the military. It is why the political & military leaders of the country have been so vigilant to keep partisanship away from it. But this admin is dismantling that concept. www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/p...
