This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Even Mother Nature is done with Felon47’s bullshit.

Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.

Happy No Kings Day!

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

A lot of very good #greyhounds at the Met

Bunny disapproves of this. All of it.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube

ICYMI: National Guard troops were sent to LA with no federal funding for food, water, fuel, equipment, or a place to stay. “Wildly unprepared” is the phrase being used. All courtesy of Trump and Hegseth.
