Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Maybe THIS is what happened to the old Republican Party when it was just about policy differences not pro-fascist BS and pedophilia. The Young Republicans ate them all.

This is #NotMyAmerica and I won’t pretend it is. I will fight for EVERY child as long as I am alive, while despising many of their parents and people that have voted against all that I have spent my life fighting for. I don’t love America. I hate it.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Hey dems! Instead of running away from Mamdani, you might want to consider picking his brain. Assuming you want to win elections, that is.

First minute of the NYC mayoral debate and Andrew Cuomo has already invoked 9/11 and denied molesting anyone or being under investigation for all the old folks deaths.

Astonishing that he's not polling at 1%
