So long

There are No Kings protests even in my super rural town filled with MAGA nuts and christian nationalist propaganda displayed on churches and street corners.

IDGAF about their 1st Amendment rights.

People who idolize genocidal maniacs should not have a place IN society. PERIOD.

Do not blame this on youth.
My husband is German, my children studied in Darmstadt & went to Dachau in their teens. We taught them.

Start talking to kids. They should KNOW.

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

President Trump said on Wednesday that his administration had “terminated” a commuter rail tunnel under the Hudson River, one of the nation’s most critical infrastructure projects. It was not immediately clear what he meant and whether the project had already been stripped of federal funding.

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?
