Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

In fairness these were always stupid vile women whose bigotry and racism outpaced their intelligence. They now touch the hot stove of GOP policies and are upset no one told them it was hot.

President Trump honored Charlie Kirk w Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Kirk’s Turning Point USA's Professor Watch List posted names of professors. Some profs were fired, others harassed.

I’m on list.

What did I do to get on the list?
See for yourself.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

There needs to be more coverage of this in the news. I have read so many stories bout this on Facebook, first hand stories of the terror of that storm, and very little coverage n media.

Screenshot of a Facebook post. Photo is an elderly woman holding a child on her ap on a couch with flood water around them. Both are wearing jackets inside. Text says: This was after our 1st drift.. staying put for awhile. Our 3rd and final drift was terrifying. House moving fast then we started spinning in circles. While we were spinning in circles my oldest daughter was just staring at me while I held onto my younger two. Kipnuk doesn't look like kipnuk anymore, like more than 3/4 of the homes displaced, power poles fallen. It smells like stove oil outside. Contaminated

So it took an upward shot photo from Time for ‘47 to realize from the neck up he looks like a pengina.

surlybadger61.bsky.social @surlybadger61.bsky.social · 22h

Intelligence personnel have never questioned ‘47 as an agent. Compromised by a dying Soviet Union, assuredly. ‘47 has openly lived a life amongst pedophiles, porn stars, fraudsters, and low IQ fascists things a mere 20 years ago would have precluded any type of political career. America chose poorly

Hey GOP behold the works your actions created.

The newsletter from agricultural producer news site WATT Poultry is now a primary source of my anxiety. H5N1 is exploding in North American poultry. Every day, a headline like this.

But no human cases. Either there aren't any or there's no testing. Given CDC's dismantling, I can guess.

Headline: "Avian flu invades flock of nearly 2 million Washington hens"

For those food service employees forced to prepare food for ICE you may kindly ignore the “employees must wash your hands after using the toilets” for the duration of the occupation.
