We have to get out there and vote like our lives depend on it. No matter how difficult they make it do your homework ahead of time and don’t let anything stop you from voting. Take the workday off if you have to. Stand in hours long lines. Dress and prepare. Comfortable footwear etc.

They better start waking up because the real money that is spent in this country is from blue states. Keep fucking with us fkers and we will shut it all down. No more viewers and no more spending on your advertisers bling.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Are you even fkg kidding me here? Where is the oversight? Where is Congress Voting for this? Is this even legal? I want my money back. Zero representation by this administration for US the PEOPLE who are fkng paying for this BS!

Why?!? How is this legal? Combover Caligula had His Little Johnson shut down our government so that he could take health care away from 12,000,000,000 Americans, but he‘s giving all of our billions to Argentina’s Thuggish Chainsaw-Wielding Dictator so that he will win re-election next month?

There ya go. I can’t believe they think we’re getting paid to protest. Whatever they claim is an admission of guilt. I’m pretty sure the only paid participants were on J6 and the ones paid to go to his rallies.

No it doesn’t and there’s nothing wrong with that damn ear. Never was.

Chip and Benson (and Patrick McSploot 👆) @chipandbenson.bsky.social · 11h

Fact, and we’d actually pay to attend a protest if it came to that

Black cats are amazing. I had my Bombay, Abby girl for 12 years but she passed because of organ failure in 2023. She was so fun and absolutely gorgeous especially her eyes. She had black nose, whiskers, paw pads and lips making her a true Bombay.
