Fun Fact: @aoc.bsky.social hasn't responded to a single one of the @citizensimpeachment.com requests for comment on impeachment. She's a yes on the tracker because she, and the rest of the house, was forced into a vote by @algreen.house.gov.

It’s wild how fast we crumbled under this fascist regime. Dem leadership is obviously scared. There’s only a handful of people willing to stand up to them. And I think any minute now this admin will arrest a mayor or a governor and we’ll know it’s the end. That’s what it feels like.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

I was one of the 1st to
Say that was phony blood. Bc blood does not
Run or look that way.
Why was the stage blood
Being carried that day?
How did anyone know
Shots would go off?
They murdered innocent
People to get theatrics
For a theactrical insane
Person.
And no one investigated
How they knew?

If the chief executive can fund the military without the consent of the governed, we no longer have a republic but a monarchy.

My point isn't that I oppose military pay - I think Congress should readily agree to it - but that Congress MUST NOT BE LEFT OUT OF THE EQUATION.
