He moved too slow the first time. He didn’t hire only evil , greedy sycophants. Now he has.

This time, his admin is all in. He made sure the GOP on Congress are all in.

He can piss off constituents all day long—because he does not expect to have another fair election. Ever.

First Kegsbreath goal met. I’m sure he will do fine when he sends our family members into battle.

Also, I know many immigrants, but I wouldn’t know if they were documented or not. If he didn’t know, then it wouldn’t be “illegal.” Many masked FAKE ice people are scooping up women and kids. How would he have known?

And in the meantime, they label us all “antifa” so they can arrest anyone protesting. On No Kings Day, they will use that setup to arrest people.

If we enact a General Strike, they have no targets.

Think about a general strike. If enough of us do it, we shut it all down.

And we are safe at home.

Who wouldn’t strike when their families are being picked up off the streets for protesting? When their DOCUMENTED neighbors are deported?

Will we all raise our hands? 🤚🏼

This is what he needs to declare one kind of martial law or insurrection so he has unending power. Bring on the inflatable frogs.

Is Congress asking a court to rule on that?

No intelligent person can possibly believe he committed suicide in such a timely manner. Someday we will get the facts.

Evidently ICE is using geofencing to find out who is going to rallies.

(Take a Lyft or public transport if you can, in blue cities.)

I ran to the store and there was a gray-haired man standing in the median. Yellow vest, big sign. I thought hey, busy road; it’s dangerous to ask for money there.

On the way back I could read the sign:

HANDS OFF MEDICARE!
HANDS OFF MEDICAID!

Bravo, friend. Bravo. 👏🏼

I keep saying if some kind family member (no clue who that could be), would tell him now that he is a billionaire, the one other thing he wants (love) is within reach if he HELPED people.

Send ICE to Texas; they need the help.

Bannon is “woke.” Maybe also Antifa? Is he now on the Retribution list?

Ah, I forgot about exemptions. Maybe that causes a lot of this since it’s likely easy to get them. When mine were in grade schools, homeschooled kids still had to submit full records. I went to board meetings for the PTA and their rules were strict. Maybe not the case in other states. Thanks.

StateSide 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇵🇷 🇵🇦 @stateside.bsky.social · 1d

I’m wondering if they don’t check vaccination status at schools and preschools there. I can understand the spread for unvaccinated kids who don’t attend schools. But don’t all states have school vaccine requirements? Yikes.

I’m sorry for your losses this year. That must have been very difficult.

May I ask what kind of pup Cody is? My neighbors have a mixed breed who looks like that—he is mostly chihuahua but I had to research some long-haired chi’s to be convinced he wasn’t a gorgeous little wolf. 😆
