Most important thing about me is I’ve been vegan for over 10 years to end animal cruelty. Blue voter stuck in Florida. Atheist. Living with multiple myeloma since 2018. FTP. Krasnov is a cunt and a pedophile.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

He is currently being held at an Office for Refugee Resettlement facility.

Taking newborn calves from their mothers is standard in the dairy industry. They have no choice, we do: soy, oat, rice…. The dairy industry is also the meat industry.

Choose compassion / #vegan over cruelty:

President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever.

There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

I see you coming down the street

With tiki torches and hate speech

You're not a Proud Boy

You're just a fuck boy

Drinking the kool aid of a mad orange king

Another Kid Rock

With all the hate talk

Murder sickness global crisis
Coup d'état vanilla ISIS

Ohh... You're just a racist piece of shit

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Trump says he has a “concept” of a healthcare plan.
Not a plan.
A concept.
That’s the first tell — because there is no plan. There’s only a blueprint for dismantling what exists, punishing those who struggle, and rewarding those who were born into comfort.

🩸 TRUMP'S BIG "BEAUTIFUL" BILL KILLS

His cruel gov't shutdown and classist, racist “concept of a plan" will lead to pain, suffering & death for millions of struggling Americans

Trump on Orban: "We love Viktor. You are fantastic, alright? I know a lot of people don't agree with me, but I'm the only one that matters. He's a great leader. I endorsed him the last election he had and he won by 28 points. You're gonna do even better this time when you have another election."
