I LOVE that this woman in Georgia decided to terrorize her neighbors with the Fall Of Democracy and Trump's Ghouls (in poetic detail) instead of your usual demons and monsters.
She said, "It's scary because it's true."

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.
But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

On the 3rd anniversary of Roe v Wade being repealed, I have to say: if more people had been concerned about the subjugation of women THEN, we wouldn't be here being stripped of ALL of our rights now.
Breaking a 50-year precedent of human rights was the canary in the coalmine 🐦 many people ignored.

Conservatives went from "free speech radicals" to "authoritarian review of people's social media accounts" in all of 6 months.
They want to be able to lie & spread propaganda with impunity - while limiting dissent.
Just like every other pathetic, thin-skinned dictator.

If you want an example of the failings of Community Notes, look no further than Musk spreading misinfo in the hours after the Minnesota shooting.
The shooter has now been IDed as a Trump supporter.
There is no community note on Musk or the original post he quotes.

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.
