Watching @POTUS ramble on incoherently about nonsense, when he is supposed to be presenting the #PresidentialMedalofFreedom to #CharlieKirk's family. Remember when #MAGA accused @JoeBiden of being like this? 🤔 Now he's doing the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣 #FactsMatter #GOPHypocrisy

Those young Republicans are special. Especially racist and evil. It is the culture they are brought up in at home and the effects of the MAGA "influencers" on them.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

I just read an article saying that a legal resident was given a $130 ticket because he "didn't have his papers".

So, we're now at the "papers, please" stage of things. I'm a natural-born US citizen, and I'm carrying my passport now because of this crap.

How far we've fallen...

Found an orange neon tweed skein at a yarn crawl and was inspired enough to knit a full toddler sweater in less than 2 weeks so she'd have it for the season. 🧶 #showmeyourknits

Toddler with a bright orange jackolantern knit sweater, a black skirt and leggings, and white, teal and orange Nikes outside in front of a bunch of pumpkins and a tractor.

Zoomed-in picture of the jack-o'-lantern sweater with the mouth only partially double-knit on with the remaining outlined in marker.

Workers from Meow Wolf are organized with @cwaunion.bsky.social and are negotiating for a 1st contract. We joined the workers outside of Grapevine Mills Mall for an info picket on the same day Meow Wolf corporate heads are touring the location.

I found a spot on the line with young supporters! ✊🏾

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.
