Americans: My family needs healthcare

GOP: No

Americans: It is VERY important

GOP: NO healthcare but here’s coal

Americans: I don’t need coal

GOP: It’s all we have.
Wait, here’s measles.

Americans: But my kid is sick

Once you have entitled yourself to rape multiple children, there’s no circle of hell you will not gladly inhabit for power, pleasure, and purse.

Unqualified fascist goons who just aren’t getting the usual arousal from beating their wives senseless are being paid with our hard earned dollars to terrorize communities, disappear people, zip-tie children, & obliterate due process.

They should be shamed everywhere they go.

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."

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

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.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

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.

Protecting child rapists
Not raped children

Enriching billionaires
Starving children

Invading US cities
Not paying the military

Crashing the vaccine system
But getting vaccinated

They operate at a level of hypocrisy & immorality that shocks the conscience.

Was at a memorial service tonight. 2 hours of being absorbed in the moment & away from the news… & then the shock when it crashes back in.

The amount of our joy, health, & peace being stolen by these fascist fucks is just too much.

It’s too much and has to stop.

In the report of Trump’s physical today, it states he received the flu and COVID vaccines.

Tonight there’s a Friday Night Massacre at CDC.

Because the President of the United States of America will ALWAYS protect himself but hopes most of us die.
