Voting for Prop 50 is underway in CALIFORNIA. I’ve thought long & hard about it. And after reading up on it and understanding that this is a temporary measure brought on because Trump told red states to give him more Republican districts for the House and sadly they obeyed…

I VOTED YES on Prop 50!

Trump was POTUS on J6.

It was Trump’s FBI.

Biden’s win had not even been certified yet.

Trump’s lies are beyond insane.

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

It’s a fairly boring book but highly relevant these days. Everyone should read it.

Michelle Caldier talks about WA’s overdose crisis, but when it came time to fund solutions for addiction recovery, behavioral health, and education, she voted no.
We need leaders who don’t just talk about the crisis, they fight to fix it.

So let’s remind ourselves that he was president not only on this infamous day on Jan 6, 2021 but also a whole 14 more days thereafter. Joe Biden wasn’t sworn in until 1/20/2021! So any FBI agents that may have shown up at the Capitol, especially on their own time, were most likely Trump supporters.

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Kas @scientistkas.bsky.social · 16h

He was the president on that day and for 14 more days thereafter. He fomented the attack with his speech at the Ellipse telling his supporters he’ll meet them at the Capitol. Unbelievable that this man wasn’t immediately removed from his position.

So it looks like he forgot that he was President at the time and urged his supporters to meet him at the Capitol.👇

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

I wouldn’t come here either if I lived in another country. I’d be afraid to be abducted by the president’s secret police headed up by his administrator Kristi Noem.
