I block people who want to harass me bc they assume I voted for Kamala and hate Palestinians. Go ahead and pretend Gazans are better off w trump (or Americans, or NATO...). We live in a complicated world. Babies who want to reduce it to one issue, bye

"there's no income cap on it"

the lying is killing me. they check your freaking tax returns at least once a year to verify incomes because they have to be below a certain threshold for you to qualify for a subsidy

They do. They don't know about this development, bc they don't consume fact-based media.

If there are any glitches in their kids' services, they'll be the first to sue.

There are LOTS of MAGA offspring in sped programs.

They're often litigious.

you mean like how she wants to uncover other cult behavior? or?

Trying to recall any time a MAGA figure has ever talked about love as a force for good

Don't they ever tire of hearing hateful lies? Wouldn't it be nice to hear a little of Christ's message once in a while about unconditional love between neighbors?

Bless Miss Major and all who heard her message

Any of the rest of us who they think could be 1) anti-christian, or 2) anti-capitalist are nothing more than "training purposes" for the US military.

Enemies of the people. Killed on sight. How do they know? Haha, they don't need to anymore. No due process!

Well, this is opinion. Not journalism.

If Indigenous People had done it, hate radio STILL wouldn't let them have a day.

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you. Examples drive the point home.

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah. We need a little instruction here.

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 1d

Same

Good for you!!

Schwarzenegger put out an extremely lame-ass, expensive, overlarge mailer against it. Basically, "We should play fair."

How's that working for you, Arnold? You could be assaulted and deported by ICE -- or maybe that's why you did this.

Could it be that stepping a toe into solidarity could be the beginning of something new??

trump isn't satisfied w Breitbart and One America News, he wants to be the center of real attention. Time magazine, WaPo, NYT.

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, and she's stayed.

I never truly loved her acting but her involvement w that ugly group makes it hard for me to even watch her. Creepy.

Hate radio: "It's NOT Indigenous People's Day! What did they ever accomplish? It wasn't until Columbus [never came near the US] that we [started raping the land & creating the worst wealth divide]!"

They cannot help themselves, I guess. Might as well pump gas straight down their throats. Addiction.

On the radio today: "Finally we can relax and say what we mean without being called racists."

No you can't, asshole. What you mean is you're better than people based on their skin color. That's all racism is, until you start putting your violence behind it.

75% can't recognize racism. Denial.

Are you forgetting Venezuelans on boats in international waters? US permission, via trump, for bombing several sovereign countries in the Middle East? The constant footsie w Putin?

Speaking as an American, I know we do a lot of shitty things. trump is worse in every way, at home & abroad.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

US Treasury Secretary: "No kings, no paychecks"

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 2d

Agree, except it's "immoral."

They know what they're doing is wrong. They know they're unfairly hurting people. That's their lifeblood and the whole reason they crave power: To behave sadistically without consequence.

A sleeper wave that kills 10 people is amoral. These guys are actively hateful.

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 2d

I've seen more of them near me and they're just so unbelievably ugly

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 2d

No different than buying up all the copies of your vanity-published tome and calling it a bestseller.

charlottebanks.bsky.social @charlottebanks.bsky.social · 13d

Soon we'll be incentivized to snitch on our neighbors.

Some of us will be happy to do it without added incentives, because we're sadistic assholes.

Careful who you speak to, folks.
