Writing in general, and my limericks in particular, have always been an effort not to make money, but to make a difference. With that in mind, I’ve decided to donate 50% of my royalties each month for #FridayLimericks2024: Mistakes Were Made to a cause that matters to me. (Thread)

Happy Wednesday friends!!

Just a few more days til we go and make some good trouble while being loud af🔥💯

I've been fairly silent on this purple revolution ridiculousness.

I will say this though. You can't trust self-serving folks. Especially of the maga variety.

Stay safe y'all!

The teacher speaking is Mr. McCant at Lovejoy High School in Clayton County, Georgia.

Is this what is being taught to students? It's no wonder people are feeling stressed, but it's the left indoctrinating people. 🙄

Would this be considered grooming?

I'm not Catholic, but Pope Leo calls for unity in messaging against Trump's deportation raids.

A true show of WWJD. No wonder Evangelicals don't like him.

NC is changing its district maps for the fourth time since the 2020 census. Each redraw has disenfranchised voters.

The state’s top GOP legislators said their planned action follows Trump’s “call urging legislatures across the country to take action to nullify Democrat redistricting efforts.”

As the chaos and discord continue to swirl, find time to not only step back from that, but to connect to the people who provide calm and joy along the way.

Governor Hochul is spot on!

Sadly, you probably won’t see that other party (the no consequence party) condemn this, though, because they predominantly ignore and move on just like with the Epstein Files.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

So when the most disillusioned of Trumps minions becomes a Guardrail against these wannabe Kings, time to listen

Remember, we need them to either vote with us or abstain in ‘26 & ‘28, not vote against us

🚨 This is happening everywhere you go depending on where you live and your social media presence. Just assume nothing you say, text, look up, or read on your phone is private. Don’t take your phone to a protest without a faraday bag. Use a dumb device to record video. 1/2

We all know Donald Trump raped #KatieJohnson multiple times. If you haven’t had the opportunity to watch her 30 minute interview, grab a chair and a box of tissue. She’s remaining out of the public eye but I hope she finds a safe space to speak out soon. #SheShed #Pinks

The future of the Republican Party is as reprehensible as the current party.

From: REICH-WING WATCH

LEAKED CHATS FROM LEADERS OF YOUNG REPUBLICAN GROUPS EXPOSE RACIST, ANTISEMITIC, PRO-HITLER VIEWS AND ADVOCACY FOR KILLING POLITICAL OPPONENTS.

Mike Johnson’s Young Republican friend sitting next to him said “rape is epic.”

They sent this man death threats by mail because he was on the cusp of breaking a white man's home run record. He used their hate mail for inspiration to go on and break that record.

It was Hank Aaron's big "f**k you" to all of those racists.🖕🏾😝

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.
