More protest art please.
This stuff is powerful, and it records and fights injustice. It helps others see that pushing back is possible and right.

Yes, the Trump-Epstein files.
Donald Trump is so focused on putting his name on everything, so let's grant him his wish by calling them the Trump-Epstein files.
This is a massive cover-up by Trump and his cronies, and I won’t stop until we hold them accountable.

You can feel it. Hundreds of millions of people from around the world, are coming together in a more synchronized manner for the purpose of making sure those who committed Epstein crimes…are forced to watch with the world…as their names and companies are broadcast around the world. It’s coming.

Exactly!
If they want voter ID for all the govt should pay for it and it should be a once and done thing, a card w/ a serial # that matches your current name and we should have 4 years to accomplish this task. We shouldn’t have to jump through freaking hoops to vote.

Food Used to Be Democrats’ Territory. What Happened?
Once a topic associated with Michelle Obama, food reform has now become the province of RFK Jr. But if Dems decide to reclaim it, they could peel MAHA votes away from the GOP.

I just applied for a passport renewal. The cost was $149 including postage. Requiring a passport or similar proof of citizenship to vote is thus a poll tax. The SAVE Act before the Senate asks to do just that.
Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them NO SAVE ACT

Kid Rock had to pay people to come to his concert.
“The second day they gave them tacos.”
Candace Owens says the TP USA/Kid Rock halftime show (that drew far fewer eyeballs than Bad Bunny) was pre-taped with an audience paid to cheer — and, incredibly, they fed them… tacos.

Both Collins and Murkowski love to pretend they're fighting against the Trumplican agenda but somehow only ever vote against it when their votes won't make a difference. It's a total sham and I'm dumbfounded that so many people haven't caught on to it by now.

Trump says voter id will mean secure elections that we can all trust. Well in the 2020 election, Georgia had the strictest voter id in the country. Yet Trump is still to this day claiming the election was stolen in that state. To Trump and GOP, if they win it was fair, if they lose it was fraud.

(1 of 2) Great—based on the WSJ's breaking news, we'll now get a year of media rehashing what I revealed about Kushner years ago in the bestselling, fully sourced Proof Trilogy. The unreported crime referenced in the report is likely—though we can't know for sure—Treason, Espionage, Bribery or FARA.
