LETS. DO. THIS. 😎✨

some days you really gotta scrape the barrel for that morning gratitude list. teeth at full clench pen pressing down hard enough to tear the page seething and writing ‘neck hurts less today’

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

I really like Mr.Cranston,and Chump's sanity doesn't bother me either ! It's Chump's Insanity that worries me.....

ICEtapo

More of this! SHAME SHAME SHAME!

My nightly prayer.🙏🏼

New in PN: Adam Serwer on America's "new dark age" "They see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated." — @adamserwer.bsky.social

Share this far and wide. It will only get worse.

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

San Antonio police have walked back on a previous statement that there was no evidence of a hate crime in the killing of actor Jonathan Joss, with the police chief now calling the statement “premature.”

Exactly....May the best loser....lose even more.....

The RepubliKKKan Party has No Morals or Principles.....

Spread the word?

Can we stop pretending there hasn’t been collusion the whole time?

Neither the orange cry baby nor leona are good people. They are the worse of the worst.
