TOMORROW: The House will vote to obtain the full Epstein Files. While this bill is likely to pass, the threat of a Trump veto is real. To secure a veto-proof majority, we need your GOP representative to hear from you.

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.
Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!
It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

They rounded a bunch of random Venezuelans with tats and pretended they were in tren de aragua, then started blowing up random Venezuelan boats they claim “carried drugs,” in order to slowly groom their base into supporting a full ground war on Venezuela that was always about oil

I went to college for criminology and I remember a professor shutting this shit down so fast when someone tried it by saying "Nope, there are only two types of people who ever need to care about this distinction: the people committing the crimes and the lawyers involved in those cases, THAT'S IT"
I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

I’m tired of being sick. Beyond the normal #invisiblechronicillness crap, I got a cold. I started coughing and sneezing Nov 1, lost my voice 5 days later, and am still coughing/sneezing/no voice. I haven’t left my house for anything other than prescheduled medical appointments in 2 wks. Sucks.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

When I saw this on Heather Cox Richardson’s daily recap, I was so mad at myself for resubscribing to NYTimes so I could read what folks were linking to (I’d unsubscribed from my 20 yr sub b4 the election bc they sanewashed Trump). I’ve re-unsubscribed. Told them exactly why & that they are VILE.
The goddamn @nytimes.com had these emails since 2015 on their email servers👇

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.
