Basically, everyone is going to get cut this year. Cancel them, and tell them why. If we have to just read books and watch PBS until we tone stops being bad, so be it. 👇

Democrats need to put the same extended media consuming outrage into the Young Republican Nazi chats as Republicans mustered for Biden going for ice cream.

Have any of y'all heard about Larry Bushart Jr.? I ask, because I hadn't.

Watch this video and catch up on what's being done to him over a meme he posted.

He wasn't fired. He wasn't "canceled". He was arrested. Based on lies.

We should be outraged by this.

Oh look. Stocks driven down Friday by Trump tariff game, back up Monday after cronies buy low. Cute. Not the economy.

Absolutely!

Agree. It’s just that eventually, our food supply will be controlled by those who deem who is fit to receive it. I guess they already do

Oh my god. They are NOT hostages. They are tried and convicted murderers, rapists, terrorists. You are part of the problem. Do your homework!

How dare that woman wear a huge Star of David, as if she’s not helping to make real Jews unsafe all around the world by giving a platform to authoritarianism. Disgusting.

Julia Bricklin @juliabricklin.com · 3d

That’s my take

Julia Bricklin @juliabricklin.com · 3d

Agree. Especially since it’s moving so fast and incompetent-ly. And it will be horrible for so many but consequences.
