Yes. It’s really crazy how people understand the concept of paying for insurance commercially but they think it’s an abomination if the same type of scheme is done through taxes.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

Yep! Now how best to get that information into the ears and eyes who most need to hear and see it?

From a “red” state I just want to say thank you. I’m really tired of being denigrated, as if there is a state somewhere that is made of 💯 good people.

Excellent point! And we know factually that they are not going for them. Bc we see video after video of who they attack. And then after about 1000 abductions they show 10-11 “wanted posters” like “we got em!” - If they were really “getting em” they’d be putting HUNDREDS of those out!

Thank you so much for this thread.

This situation cannot, will not hold. 370 million people will not allow a few dozen perverts and their pervert protecting pals DESTROY this country. They are predators. This will not stand.

No. Kings.

Remember when it would have been big news if politicians had swastikas in their offices?

American Nazis suck. And now they’re out of the Nazi closet.

America, what are we doing here?

Why do I read that other people are allowed to swear her in?

If that’s true then go around pipsqueak.

If it’s not why are we not having more people in the press calling this what it is? It’s REPUBLICANS STEALING AN ELECTION.

Never worship someone so much that you find yourself on the internet one day excusing swastikas.

She didn’t prosecute Epstein when she easily could have.

What’s weird is it’s the people who always insisted it was true are the most resistant to admitting it now.

Feel like people have still not digested the whole "the entire government is controlled by a small cabal of child sex traffickers" thing being true.

No it’s not! It’s in fucking Project 2025: Privatize everything. Destroy govt. Let people starve and die.

Makes no sense that they can follow a woman across state lines but men (and everyone) can go gamble and no one follows them. And wasn’t Roe really about her not having to travel? She didn’t have the money to leave Texas, right? So they decided it was an undue burden. This just SCOTUS DGAF about law.

TM @tm71.bsky.social · 1d

Serious questions: Where can I learn SOMETHING about international law? Is it even REAL? Can America(ns) just torture ppl bc our govt didn’t sign something? (Pls don’t refer me to Clooney.) Seems clear the world isn’t interested in helping us but hypothetically, could anyone? Or just… nah?

TM @tm71.bsky.social · 1d

Why do journalists have a fixation with these d-bags? I usually love Wired. But until a single billionaire does something real to fix the problems (that by the way they cause and benefit from) IDGAF what any of them say. They’re horrible humans. Horrible. They disgust me.

I keep trying to picture a casual fox viewer. I don’t know a single one.

TM @tm71.bsky.social · 1d

Well, according to people on here who have worked in the senate, yall do it to get rich and not have to do a real job. Just telling you what I heard.

TM @tm71.bsky.social · 1d

So suspicious how we we see - is it into the hundreds yet? - videos of ICE assaulting people and they always claim they got assaulted first, yet never video of THAT. Even though they’re taking their own video to brag about what lawless rabid mongrels they are. In fact, every video proves them LIARS.

Cheaper for people who get therapy from reading it, though! 😊
