“It’s not as bad as it looks”
“If you take this seriously, you’re too deep into your liberal echo chamber”

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

so, a big Resistance account on here kindly reshared my piece, then deleted their original post, and wrote another one linking to an article from a different site that aggregated my reporting here (and did so with due credit to be fair) … social media can be so weird

He Used to Dominate Daytime TV. Now He’s Sucking Up to Trump—and His Media Empire Is Collapsing.

When Dr. Phil signed off his talk show in 2023, he pivoted to MAGA politics. It’s not working so well for him.

Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop
