Didn’t expect to see these posted on Bluesky! Here’s a printable version if anyone wants it (the bottom is gone in the original pic because the bottom half of the flyer was a bunch of tear-offs lol)

🤔 It’s definitely not suspicious at all to have people point out your common Twitter sign off is in the Epstein files and ten completely delete your yacht’s logs right?

It took like a couple of posts to go from "concerns about women's sports" to frothing natalism and dogmatic belief in reproductive teleology.

Hey dipshit what if I told you women weren't "built to bear children" either because we were not designed with a purpose, and certainly not to be broodmares

There’s a terrifying world where holocaust survivors die in American jails for protecting a minority community from a nationalist charismatic leader.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

i think the fairest solution for everyone named in the Epstein files is to just send them all back to the island and never let them leave. and then we send in the wild dogs,

Seriously, if you've ever considered running for office, now's the time. Go check out @runforsomething.net. This is looking like a 25+ point swing in TEXAS -- nearly doubling the average +13 swing we've been seeing.

Don't leave any seat unchallenged. Make the GOP spend all their resources.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

I cannot stress enough to people who are not from Minneapolis that the news you have seen in the past week about things calming, and messaging from our electeds at *every level higher than City Council* that local agencies will protect us... That's all fucking LIES.
Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt needs to stop assisting ICE. It’s very clear that the sheriff’s department has been harassing, intimidating, arresting and coming out in force to assist ICE. They have been using force against neighbors who are working to protect our immigrant neighbors. 2/
