The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown.

“We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

While J6 was actually happening live, I text my dad “there’s your MAGA!” And he text back “Looks like BLM” and I knew right then I’d never change his mind. I knew he was gone.
I hate that this is something we have in common. But I’m glad we are on the same team 💙

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Do you still have a relationship with your mom? Do you think she can change her mind? See the light, per se?
I feel like my dad & his whole family won’t see the light until they are so poor they can’t afford daily life. And they already live paycheck to paycheck.

That’s what my dad says! It’s all about money for him. And he’s not even religious so that stuff doesn’t matter to him. He also doesn’t believe in climate change 🙄
I had a great childhood & we’ve remained close until Trump. I stopped talking to him on Inauguration Day. I’ll never change his mind.

I bought up boxes of masks when they starting going on clearance. I knew if he got back into office we’d all be sick. And here we are now with RFK.
It’s unbelievable how bad it can get.

Brookshire @brookshire.bsky.social · 2d

I’m in a similar situation w/ a good parent who raised me with values & is now a Trumper. My dad raised an independent, strong willed, educated women who’s now raiding my daughter to be the same.
And then he voted for Trump 3 times. I’ll never forgive him for voting to take away our rights 😞

PRO TIP: If you want the Nobel Peace Prize, you might not wanna kidnap fathers, zip-tie kids, shoot priests, rip moms from carpool lines, and terrorize entire otherwise peaceful cities.

Oh yeah, and release the Epstein files.
