You can request a DM w/a short reason.
I allowed DMs from the start but for 6 months but became inundated with single women in their 30's who tended not to post anything wanting to chat, endlessly. I'm here for the posts & replies, NOT chatting.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

I’m sure they never checked, have no warrant, did not identify themselves and most likely abused him.
ICE is despicable - this not the way to treat children

What the hell is this? Courts should stop any arrests (?) w/o charges.

GOP take note! THIS means YOU!

Myelita Melton @myelita.bsky.social · Aug 31

Ain't that the truth?

Every toddler in America has more backbone and resolve than the average Republican.

Toddlers wail for a bottle. Mom brings one.

America wails for justice, decency and democracy.

Republicans leave town for a month.

I think the administration will try to agitate, but it’s important that we make these protests 1. HUGE and 2. Peaceful

Trump never understood this;

You NEVER want a government run as a business. With business, PROFIT supersedes all social value produced. Not everything profitable has social value just like not everything with social value is profitable but social value FAR EXCEEDS the cash in one pocket & bonus to Trump but idiots vote this in.

What happens to people in this admin, like Bondi, who are definite 'threats"?

"America first" were only words.
They have no relation to his actions.

Trump has bankrupt several entities.
Now he is working on the whole country!

Your grandkids & their kids will be paying in perpetuity for the crimes of this administration bc not only did they give our money to Argentina, they will also have to pay LOADS of $ for lawsuits bc of ICE aggression, & as we ALL KNOW, there will be citizens & immigrants claiming money they'll win.😉

As a backdrop to this 👇 for additional context, Jews & Arabs (Palestinians) are Semites, descendants of Abraham; the current occupiers of Israel are by DNA less “Jewish” than Palestinians 👇

If we truly had law & order, yes.
Instead we have this GOP Congress which does nothing they should but continually kisses DonOLD's fat a$$.
