Sinema is a literal waste of space. After the fact, snark aimed towards a situation that wouldn't exist had we nuked the Filibuster under Biden. Had that happened, much more of his agenda would have been passed, and the outcome of the 2020 election would likely have been different. #Staymadbooboo

Point of Fact: There are currently more measles cases in Texas, than Transgender athletes in the nation.
One of those kills. The other is a political talking point used dozens of times last night.

This is misinformation. This is how it is packaged so that after decades of eroding your will to question, the mere appearance of data is enough for you to believe.
A count of SS#'s in the database, grouped by age doesn't indicate payments, or if those SS#'s are active. Yet, ppl believe it anyway.

The GOP takes advantage of short attention spans and poor memory. Write.Things.Down. Price of groceries, gas, eggs. Unemployment %, GDP, Dow Jones average.... force them to justify "Trickle Down" using ACTUAL DATA you've collected. It will come in handy come midterms and 2028. #staymad

Outrage exhaustion is the goal. Outrageous cabinet picks, 3rd term bills that have no chance of passing. State bills banning jacking off...this is the plan.

1) Asperger's is no longer an accepted diagnosis. It has been removed from the DSM and is considered part of the Autism Spectrum.
2) Musk has never been officially diagnosed. He is self diagnosed.
3) Claiming disability as an excuse for inexcusable behavior, is ableist.

Explaining in Five Paragraphs the Scam Donald Trump Just Pulled on 150 Million American TikTok Users
Make no mistake, one of the most popular apps in the world was just down in the U.S. for 14 hours because Donald Trump ordered that it be taken down. Why? So he could be seen as a hero in “saving” it.

Just a reminder, Trump isn't President yet and Biden said he wouldn't enforce the Tiktok ban. That's why they were able to bring it back....before Trump takes office. Tiktok coming back on the 19th, has nothing to do with Trump, who takes office on the 20th. #staymadbooboo

10M ppl that voted Biden in 2020, stayed home in 2024. Harris lost by 3M across key states. It's easy to say "Sexism/Racism" and call it a day. It's harder to acknowledge the DNC, post primary with 107 days left took choice away from voters and put up a WOC who said she'd be the same as Biden.
