Do they really think that? Or do they just not care?

Perhaps they see this as a good thing because it makes us easier to control?

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Andrew Cuomo will NEVER beat this guy!

Take notes, DNC! A serial abuser who's well known for corruption is NOT GONNA BEAT A GENUINE LEADER.

MacCALLUM: Andrew Cuomo tomorrow night in that debate, he's gonna say 'I'm gonna bring 5,000 more police officers to the street.' Will you match that?

MAMDANI: I don't look to Andrew Cuomo for leadership

Absolutely. The Republikkkans have a governmental trifecta PLUS the Extreme Court.

Democrats hold no cards EXCEPT OUR RESISTANCE.

📣 Every American who gets a notice saying their health care premiums will go up needs to know it’s b/c Republicans are taking an extended paid vacation in order to help Trump cover up his relationship with sex-trafficker Epstein.

Mike Johnson’s Shutdown Strategy Is Corruption in Broad Daylight

Federal workers go unpaid, premiums are set to spike, and Congress is on a paid vacation—all to protect Trump from the Epstein files.

Once again, ANY REPUBLIKKKAN WHO STILL CLAIMS THAT TITLE IS A NAZI.

I don't care who you are or how many pro-democracy posts and articles you've authored.

If you haven't disavowed the Republikkkans, YOU'RE ONE OF THEM.

🚨IRS, FBI, Federal Marshals, MPD, DEA, ICE, HLS, and ATF here to “investigate” this woman. Suspicious for being black? The regime has made their white supremacism clear. The time for us to reject it is NOW!

What do you suppose the chances are that even MAINSTREAM/LEGACY MEDIA will finally recognize the authoritarian desire of this "administration?"

And maybe, MAYBE stop supporting the king wannabe?

We can only hope (and stop reading them until they change!).

Breaking the Habit is one by them. I still cry every time I hear it, but it's hard to listen to, terribly personal 💔.

I'm not gay, so I should stay out of opinions, except to say that they ARE easily manipulated. Just like any politician having an affair, abusing their spouse, or molesting their child.

That's the action of a DICK TATOR WANNABE.

Which the REPUBLIKKKAN TRIFECTA IS ALLOWING.

Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social · 11h

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18
