It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Trump was President on Jan 6 not Biden.

Fred Guttenberg @fredguttenberg.bsky.social · 3d

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Anybody who thinks Trumpy has achieved peace in the middle east is delusional. The best minds on the planet have worked at this for decades. Hamas is already reasserting control in Gaza. Jfc wake up people.
