Glad to follow anyone who's ABC and do so, but miss me with the crap below.

We can see it. It's malevolent and counter-productive. It OFTEN makes wrong assumptions.

In return, I will refrain from correcting the propaganda as I see it & stop tone policing in other peoples' threads.

Trying to engage with some diehard Dippers on here as well, same result: "TruAnon," "sad pathetic lives" "you're in a cult" "Liberals same as Cons" "Liberals are the same as MAGA" [both objectively BS] etc.

We need each other - contempt, disrespect, lies & condescension help fascists 👎

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

America has a dictator who loots the government for his private gain, locks up his opposition and launches dubious military strikes without any oversight.

Hundreds of masked ICE enforcers just got a taste of their own medicine: hackers from The Com dumped names, addresses, and phones of 680 DHS goons on Telegram, with IRS stooges next in line. #Doxxed

Look, folks, he's the *Speaker* of the House, not the Listener of the House or the Watcher of the House.

You can't expect him to be aware of major events that are unfolding right before him.

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

A personal one: perfect spelling doesn't equal intelligence. Some people have disabilities that make it hard to spell or have English as a second language. Don't mock them for random typos or mixing up 2 similar words.
