If you're that afraid of being carjacked, maybe consider what type of person you are to everyone. He is the perfect choice. If trump told him to drop to his knees, he's not asking another question. Such a disgusting piece of garbage.

So much for the first amendment. The constitution was not written for a dicktator wannabe to disregard and do whatever the Hell he wants

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

Knowingly bombing an unarmed ship.

"The exercise in question required ships not to carry any ammunition. Normally, the Dena carries various missiles and guns, including anti-ship missiles. Because the U.S. also took part, it would have been aware that the Dena was unarmed."

🧵 1.Thank you @antoniobruno.bsky.social for posting a hard truth. The undermining of America includes the GO☭SS, (Russian and Supremacist money and mindsets) and our greed for the almighty dollar in relationship with Middle East. The expansionist mindset with Bibi dooms us....the glory days of old

Powerful message from @booker4ky.bsky.social! As a diabetic, he has had to ration his insulin to put food on the table. Americans are going thru this too bc billionaires & corrupt politicians care more about profits than you. Let’s vote this man into office bc KY deserves someone to fight for you.

Another terrible monthly jobs report for the Trump Administration and they don’t have a pandemic to blame it on.

92,000 jobs lost in February. One has to wonder how much worse it really is?

Moms saw this coming in our own families over the last few months - our loved ones losing jobs, our young adults not being able to find jobs at all.

Give him the House gavel. Vote Democrat. It’s time. The Republicans have screwed everything up with no accountability. We need more Dems in the House to restore our democratic Republic.

🫖 Day 411 – America is a mad house —an episode of The Twilight Zone. We must correct course and save ourselves by voting the Trump cult out of office in 2026 and 2028.

In the meantime, Hold Them Accountable!

Florida college Republicans group chat reveals racist texts: ‘Avoid the coloreds like the plague’ In leaked chats, students at Florida International University referenced Nazis and made antisemitic and racist remarks

If the GOP is not full of racists and Nazis, why is it that when a group chat with racist and Nazi undertones are they all Republicans?

If black and Spanish children have to live with racism, the least that white children can do is learn about it. If they keep cutting black history, they are going to make us look like saints. I will scream it from the mountain tops the true history of this country.

Katie Johnson's full testimony of 2/11/16 YouTube video by Scott Dybiec

FBI Interview Intake 302 Memos. In the DOJ Document drop was the Katie Johnson Lawsuit I've personally been posting for 10 years. We've also had the Interview Katie did in 2016. Everyone should read and hear them. Katie was terrorized by Trump's goons when reporting the Rape.
I've always believed.

Mullin surrounded by reporters. He’s the nominee, not the head of DHS.

Anyone else noticing how America and its media have normalized and bent full knee to The Felon Trump?

Mullin isn’t the next head of DHS. He’s only been nominated.
Once again, this is why Jesus changed his middle name to Fucking.

This is encouraging.

Kennedy promised to restore trust in our health agencies.

He achieved the opposite.

Confidence in health agencies dropped during Trump’s first year.

38% of people trust Kennedy.

Polls show more trust in professional associations.

Paxton offers to drop Senate bid if Republicans pass SAVE America Act The message quickly drew praise from online far-right activists.

🚨BREAKING: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is publicly offering to abandon his U.S. Senate campaign if Senate Republicans agree to change the filibuster rules and pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping anti-voting bill. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump is not protecting elections. He is trying to rig who can participate. SAVE would force citizens to dig up documents again and again and lets DHS meddle with voter rolls. Call your senators today. Keep this bill off the floor & vote no on any attempt to revive it.

The SAVE Act is built to trip women up. About 69 million married women have names that do not match their birth certificates, and this bill turns that paperwork into a weapon against their voice.
Screw the patriarchy. #SaveActTaxesVoters

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name.

#MomSky

The SAVE Act is a full blown show your papers scheme. Republicans want passports or birth certificates just to register, knowing millions of citizens do not have easy access to them. Eligible Americans get blocked on purpose.

That is voter suppression. 🚫🗳️

#MomSky

The SAVE Act would not just block voters. By tying citizenship status to flawed databases and aggressive “verification” it lays the groundwork to question and even strip naturalized citizens of their status and deport them.

Keep SAVE off the floor and vote no.
