The first rat to run was MTG. Others started coming to the stash to grab a few nibbles before the final dispersal phase. The rats are about to run. They can sense the cannibalism that's coming.

I say this as an animal ecologist.

And billions of dolllars to pay military personnel to murder random human beings around the world so he can distract and continue covering up his deep ties to the Donald Epstein child sex trafficking ring.

It's past time to stop paying taxes. Every dollar we pay supports all this corruption.

Posting for the 2nd time today because, gawd dammit, direct action us key to reclaiming democracy.
Good morning. Why isn't this gaining any traction? If you think the Epstein files will be the nail in his coffin, think again. My mother and I will be doing our part. We, the people, have the power but refuse to use it. Everyone needs to do this *to the best of your ability*

Happy to see this number pass 400,000.

If you are scared to add your name, you can make a “burner” email and use that.

Trump’s approval just cratered to 33%. Even Republicans are peeling off — a 13-point dive since March. Turns out running the government like a reality show doesn’t play when the country’s the one getting eliminated.

they're disappearing people. this is so fucking horrifying. #EndICE
A farm worker near Ave Maria, Florida, seeks prayers after their work bus is stopped by ICE. As a result, they begin systematically abducting each of them one by one. Tragically, they have not been heard from since.
