Imagine if Barack Obama or Joe Biden said they were above the law. Imagine if Obama or Biden were pocketing tens of millions of dollars while they were in office. Imagine if Obama or Biden pardoned people who violently attacked the Capitol to prevent a Republican from taking office.

After watching this video, you will never look at a simple bag of lettuce the same way again. The average workday for an undocumented immigrant is 10-12 hours, and many get paid below minimum wage because their employers know they are afraid of being deported. How many Americans want this job?

To every Senate Dem: Shut it the fuck down. Trump’s unconstitutional chaos will kill people. 1️⃣ Oppose all nominees until OMB reverses the freeze. 2️⃣ Deny Unanimous Consent to slow Senate proceedings. 3️⃣ Vote no on all Cloture. 4️⃣ Force Quorum Calls at every opportunity. It's time to fight.

Dear MAGA, The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda. No seating for you. No special events to acknowledge your support. Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc. Keep that cash coming. Be best.
