If guns aren't the problem, but people are the problem, why do they want the problem to have guns?

Us: It's the guns!

Them: No, it's mental health.

Us: OK, then doing something about mental health!

Them: Nah.

Do we really think trump played as much of a role in the Gaza/Israel ceasefire and hostage exchange as he said he did?

Sad to find out that Rhoback is a right wing company, since I already have a couple of their shirts. 🤦‍♂️

I miss the days when work places could support employees who traditionally needed a little boost because of systemic racism and sexism, and others' subconscious biases hold them back.

Kamala Harris: “There is so much about this moment that is trying to make people feel like they’ve lost their minds, when, in fact, these motherf*ckers are crazy.”

Sad and angry to find out that this plane, which I heard over my house today, is an ICE deportation flight. 🤬

Rep. Ilhan Omar @repilhan.bsky.social · 8d

If you ever wondered what Republican “governance” looks like, this is it.

A government shutdown.
Federal workers who don’t get paid.
A President who golfs during a shutdown.
National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans.
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare.

Dox ICE agents.

I'm sick, seeing the things they are doing to people.

They will not be immune.

Stop calling it "homecoming" and start calling it what it really is, "alumni fundraising weekend."

If you read anything today, let it be Nikole Hannah Jones’ essay on how Charlie Kirk’s death is doubling as an invitation to transform white supremacist views into normal political discourse www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/m...

Charlie Kirk was on record saying that a few gun deaths are the price we pay for the right to guns.

Why can't we change it to the loss of gun rights is the price we pay to live in a peaceful society!?

It's infuriating!

I'm an atheist and pretty much against the idea of religion, but I respect people's right to practice it.

This mass shooting at a church in my state is not what should ever happen during any peaceful assembly of people.

Fuck guns.

In 2024, Portland, Oregon ranked 57th in the country for violent crime per capita. So, sure, send the military there. Jfc. 🤦‍♂️🙄

Omg, I had no idea that an American city has been at war (ope, sorry, "War")!

Who has Portland been at war with?!? N Korea? Russia? Canada? Eugene!?

I want nothing but bad things to happen to trump because trump causes nothing but bad things happen in this country.

Fact: My mother took acetaminophen when she was pregnant with me.

Here's the problem with everyone posting and talking about infringement of first amendment rights, Congress didn't do this.

Trump and his minions are using threats to shut down 1A rights.

He found a loophole and is exploiting it. Just as he has done HIS WHOLE DAMN LIFE!
