maga usually love quoting Leviticus—meanwhile, being undocumented is a misdemeanor, not a reason for troops, flashbangs, & detaining families w/o food/water. Admin has full control & chooses this? No reform, just war on a US city. But hey, it did bury the Elon drama.

Greg Abbott is pushing the “FURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats.
But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids.
This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.
There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.
The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

So, like, it's really clear that the GOP is trying to isolate us from the rest of the world like an abusive stepdad.

Imagine that! a white South African wannabe nazi treating a mostly black city like its citizens don’t matter. 🤔 Is anyone really surprised here??

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

My partner and I are measurably worse off. Solid plans were made years ago and now the rules have been changed. #FDT
Are you better off now than you were 8 weeks ago?

If having cancer taught me anything, it’s that our lives on this earth are much shorter than any of us think.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.
