There are so many lazy-ass attacks on Democrats that happen daily on this app and expose a glaring and possibly willful lack of understanding of how politics work… the shit gets tiring to see…

No joke. President Trump wants to invade and occupy Greenland—a territory of Denmark—because Denmark didn’t award him the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s the reason.
This is what White America chose.
It did not have to be this way. 🇺🇸

1. Mayo is the single most disgusting concoction ever devised. It serves no purpose. Sorry your food is dry, make it better next time. Even a sandwich cut with a knife that had once had mayo on it is instantly ruined

Important--this is the most significant Trump revenge prosecution that has been flying under the radar. @replamonica.bsky.social we stand with you! Friends please give a read....
I came to Congress to do the job: to work for people and protect them.
Now I’m facing 17 years in prison for standing up to this administration and to ICE. But if they think I’ll back down, they are wrong.

Trump is there because enough white folks lost their natural minds when one Black man dared to govern them. Again, what exactly do you all think a Black man can do to convince a bunch of Klansmen not to be Klansmen?

When I want inspiration, I listen to gospel music, read my Bible or watch a Ted Talk. When I want to make my voice heard and make sure things happen in my community that I cannot do as an individual, I vote. Y'all gotta stop wanting Hollywood warm and fuzzies from politicians.
