My profile clearly states, No DM's.

So, to person who DM'd me stating that he will provide me with money to be his "Sugar Baby," A) You are a disgusting, misogynistic, prick. B) You have been duly reported and blocked.

All DM's get blocked immediately. This isn't Tinder for Christ's sake.

I'm just sitting here listening to the rain. It's so peaceful.

If Portland was on fire, it isn't anymore.

So many Vietnam War era musicians wrote protest songs against the war.

Where the fuck are our musical artists now?

Thanks for posting this! I was 11 in 1967. I remember the Vietnam War protests and all the bands that used their microphones to raise awareness.

Where the fuck are our musicians now?

Kamala Harris: "I think he has a vengeance campaign, which is really exposing the petty nature of who he is and his deep level of insecurity."

AOC suggested that we all start laughing at the fascist assholes to make them feel like the little limp dicks that they are. Portlandians are taking the lead!

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn
) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.
