I like my margaritas on the rocks no salt. Socially awkward yet also socially conscious. Just glad when I make it through the day and both socks match.

I am SO TIRED of hearing that Trump had some sort of mandate.
Of all of the eligible voters that could have voted, he only had 31.4%. That is NOT a MANDATE.
And for the people that DID vote, he got 1.5% more than Harris. ALSO NOT a MANDATE.

❗️SHAME❗️Avelo Airlines signed a contract to run deportation flights for the Trump regime. Human rights & laws be damned, the Avelo CEO wants the 💰 from ICE flights.

Part of today’s Nationwide Day of Protest against Avelo Airlines.
It takes all of us to make change. Together, we can stop these deportation flights and stand up for justice + due process.

Foreign governments and individuals are stuffing money into the president's pockets to influence his actions. Could not be more clear or obvious. Unprecedented corruption - and *exactly* what the Founders feared.
Foreign officials are under no illusions that by approving Trump Organization developments they're doing anything other than paying a bribe to the president of the United States. They know it, he knows it, the only people who are fooled are in the American public.

Donald Trump and the Republicans often resort to chicanery—through misinformation, legal manipulation, and obstruction tactics—to advance their political agenda and maintain power.

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table or affording lifesaving medical care.
But, Republicans in Congress are forcing families to make this choice by gutting Medicaid funding.

Trump held up a printed picture of people lifting body bags and said, "These are all white farmers that are being buried.”
The image actually shows humanitarian workers burying bodies in the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo. They are not white, not farmers, and not South African.
