His cult probably thinks it’s a wonderful idea. He’s objectively absolutely disgusting, but let’s not forget that he’s doing all thing to cheers and applause from millions of equally hateful asshats.

Sooooo, were you confused about genitals in general when you fucked that couch, or are you just confused about whose genitals are your business? I mean, I wouldn’t expect the pocket pussy of Rapist-in-chief to understand consent. I was a sped teacher if you need a tutor, you soggy poptart.

If you’re a fan of horror, I hope you’ll check out this brilliant debut novel, written by my eldest. They’ve been winning awards for their writing since they were 8 and I think this piece will keep their streak alive.

He definitely doesn’t matter. So, do we get to put our name in a hat to do something about that, or what?

I’m sick of outage. We should be stockpiling weapons.
We. Are. At. War.

Happy anniversary!

It’s all straight out of the Nazi playbook. My family didn’t serve this country for it to be taken over by fascists.
They pull people out of their homes, their cars. They send them to concentration camps.
They do it to citizens & immigrants alike.
They must be stopped.
At all costs.

Belonging in Bloom.
The piece is largely inspired by the inclusive pride flag. The other flowers from top down are representing my autistic, pan, and non-binary identities.
Still here. Still queer.
And I’m not going anywhere.

The Republicans' massive policy bill would do more than extend income tax cuts, add restrictions to Medicaid and food stamps and pour funding into President Donald Trump's deportation campaign. It includes many lesser-known provisions, from the court system to the gym.

From gym memberships to gun silencers, Trump's tax bill is full of surprises

From the US court system to your local gym membership, here are some secluded provisions lurking in the sweeping Republican tax bill.

They buckle like a belt. It’s why democrats lose so fucking always. I’m sick of their milquetoast responses to fascism. It’s time for them to nut up or shut up. If they capitulate to this regime, they are complicit in its agenda. Time to actually get some work done instead of bending the knee.

Wow. She is a dumb as she looks.

I’m not sure what part of “this violates the emoluments clause” Congress is missing, but they need to get their shit together.

I think I can explain it.
It never actually happened.
But I think we should all start mailing him maxipads. You know, just is case.

I’m absolutely exhausted by this orange, diapered, wrinkly, charpei-looking, dementia-infested fuck.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

I encountered a Mustang hatchback on the way home today and I’m mad.
Frankly, I blame Donald Trump for this outrageous fuckery.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Jess Flaherty @witchbitch42.bsky.social · May 14

Fuck everything about this fucking cult. If you support it, you’re a bad person and you make me wish Hell were real.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

I can’t understand why impeachment articles weren’t drawn up the first time this traitor ignored the Supreme Court. He’s a treasonous piece of trash who deserves to swing.
