If yesterday's protests were paid for, I'd really love to know where to submit the Family Dollar receipt for the posterboard and markers. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

If MAGA really supported those who serve(d) in the military as much as they claim, this would be the end of this scuzzball's campaign.

Powerful, grubby men using their connections to cover their abuse of a trafficked teenage girl.

After all the revelations, it's never "not" shocking.

Many of them are exactly as confused as they want to be. It's a typical response to facts one can't accept - "confusion".

Because the investigation was still open. You don't release your evidence when it could tip off the investigation targets you're preparing to prosecute. Remember whose DOJ prosecuted and convicted Maxwell? It was Bondi who declared the investigation closed. That's when you can release the files.

So if the government claims YOUR home is not here, that automatically makes it true? We'll remember that.

I'm not interested in having a conversation with a bad faith troll such as yourself, just posting the actual facts before I mute and block you. The kids you're talking about weren't missing, and the report you're referencing covered part of Trump's first term too. apnews.com/article/fact...

FACT FOCUS: Claims that more than 300,000 migrant children are missing lack context

Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have recently claimed that hundreds of thousands of migrant children who crossed the U.S.

Tommy Tuberville stood in the way of high level military promotions for 4 years during the trump interregnum. The hijacking of our military leadership has been a GOP project nearly as coordinated as their hijacking of the courts

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 5d

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.

Then ICE arrested him.

If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.

I think he might also misses the point here. We, Europeans, don't want Russian fighter jet flying over our sovereign territory... It doesn't matter why they are there, our territory our decision. And we also don't want drones flying near our airports, or other hybrid warfare activities taking place.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

The pioneering transgender activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy has died at the age of 78. In 1969, she took part in the Stonewall uprising that launched the modern LGBT rights movement.

Deeply disturbing. And he's absolutely right: we need to prepared to deal with this problem for decades. These brainwashed kindergarteners conditioned to commit violence will be brainwashed adults before too long.

Anton Gerashchenko @antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 5d

Cadet groups have opened in kindergartens in at least 26 regions of Russia. Preschoolers are being taught hand-to-hand combat and firearms training.

This is terrifying and disgusting on so many levels. And this will remain a problem for years and decades to come.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

There was absolutely a vast decades-long conspiracy. I listed many of the conspirators in my other comment. There is abundant empirical evidence of their conspiracy. They've done much of it essentially out in the open. There is truth to what you say, but it's not the whole story.

Andrew @andrewfromchoir.bsky.social · 9d

Yep, I've got Abbott. Born and raised here and we've felt stuck here due to ailing parents. And also feel like moving would be surrendering. It's not a blast, to say the least.
