With all due respect, aren’t you Congress?

We have the playbook. We know their next move. We need to adopt a proactive game plan - no more of this reactionary, passive action. He’s already planting seeds about the midterms. How do we ensure none of his plans work?

They’re not a stealth group. We can do this.

If your answer to the problems of today is to ban BOOKS instead of GUNS there is something inherently wrong with you. Children are dying in their classrooms, in their pews during mass, and people think it’s a bigger deal if they read about inclusivity or empathy in fucking book.

Housing for homeless Vets?
- Absolutely not

Brand new detention center in their state for people being kidnapped off the street and detained w/o due process?
- Every Republican politician throws their hand up enthusiastically

How is MSM not talking about what happened in LA yesterday? Everyone needs to see the disgusting, unnecessary and performative display and MSM completely ignoring it is unbelievably disappointing.

BURN IT DOWN. Congress has so completely lost the plot that I fear this is the only solution. Their job is to be the voice of the PEOPLE not of the donors or the 1%. But this concept no longer exists. The system is broken and we need a change.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Pro-LIFE and Pro-BIRTH are two very different things, as you describe perfectly. Until this group shows any concern for the child once they are born (and for years thereafter) they should no longer be allowed to call themselves pro-life.

If I’ve learned anything thing this week, it’s that he’ll still be confirmed.

The Trump administration does NOT determine how many genders there are in the United States.

Removing the genders they no longer “recognize” and any protections that should be in place doesn’t erase those individuals.

They still exist.
And they deserve respect.

All this talk about protecting national security, and they put him in charge. Make it make sense.

Until the government (state or federal) gives a shit about a child AFTER it is born, it has no business forcing a person to carry a pregnancy against their will. Period.

Kate Pierce @katepierce.bsky.social · Jan 25

Just to clear a couple things up quick:

1) I have never felt unsafe around a trans person. I’ve felt unsafe around a cis man MANY times.

2) How someone identifies and who they love is none of your damn business. If they are happy and not hurting anyone LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Hope this helps.

It’s the hypocrisy for me.

The party of “free speech” & “Christian values” attacking a Bishop asking for compassion.

The party of “pro-life” axing an advisory board that provided best practices to keep kids safe during school shootings bc it’s not a priority.

Deporting yet electing criminals.

Kate Pierce @katepierce.bsky.social · Jan 25

And what exactly were they going to do with this CHILD? The Secret Service? You’ve got to be kidding me.

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

THIS is masculine energy incase Fuckerberg wants to take notes.

Kate Pierce @katepierce.bsky.social · Jan 24

The Trump admin. has axed the Federal School Safety Clearinghouse External Advisory Board - which was formed to advise federal agencies on best practices to protect children from possible school shootings.

At some point, the pro-lifers are going to have to start caring for kids once they’re born.

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

To be clear, the party of “Free Speech” and “Christian Values” heard what Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde said on Tuesday and are upset about it?

She exercised her freedom of speech and asked for empathy and compassion as Jesus would. And they are condemning her for it.

We need more people like her.

Regarding EM’s salute yesterday…I saw a creator push back on those defending it saying it wasn’t what everyone thought it was or calling it a ‘Roman Salute’ by saying to them - “Then you do it.”

Brilliant response. You’re defending it? You do it. Post a video. Do it. Loud and proud. NBD, right?

Kate Pierce @katepierce.bsky.social · Jan 21

We warned you.

The masks are fully off now.

Fuck everyone who voted for this. I have ZERO empathy as you FAFO.

There were people who claimed they voted for Hitler because of “the economy” too. But guess what? They are still called the same thing as everyone else in the history books.
