It would be a great idea for a filibuster to read “Nobody’s Girl” - the book by one of Epstein’s victims - on the floor of the Senate and keep shaming the Republicans for refusing to release the Epstein files.

I’ve got a better idea. Why doesn’t Trump reimburse the government for the expenses of having to prosecute him and all the other insurrectionists from J6.

This.
The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Silas H. Shelton has been accused of abusing his religious authority to groom a teenage girl.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.
Make it make sense.

Listening to people celebrating an administration that behaves like beligerent and spoiled 3rd graders almost makes me yearn for the "old days" when people simply wanted to vote for someone "they could have a beer with".

Perspective to keep us grounded. Although I would add "justice, and community building" to the laughter. More fun to laugh together anyway. 💙🌞💐🕊️
No matter how we imagine it...remember...we are all together on this glorious blue marble in the universe.
Wasting time creating wars for power and control is absurd and fruitless. Fill the air with laughter.
Let go of the shackles that keep us bound.
