Bad Bunny sells out stadiums across continents.
Kid Rock sells nostalgia to people afraid of subtitles.

The NFL chose relevance.
TPUSA chose a tantrum with guitars.
Same Sunday. Vastly different futures.😌🏈

Global superstar vs grievance cosplay. Progress vs panic.

The NFL booked Bad Bunny not asking culture permission & moved on!

TPUSA booked Kid Rock because resentment needs background noise.

One halftime = watched by the 🌎

The other = streamed by Maga yelling “This used to America.”

THIS IS PROGRESS! 🏈🌎🎤

People: The Hennepin Co. Medical Examiner's office released the results of its inquiry into Alex Pretti's death. The cause of death was "multiple gunshot wounds," and the manner of death is "homicide."

That is how we can really make a difference. We all know at least one person who doesn’t pay attention and doesn’t vote. Start talking to them about things that matter specifically to them and the negative consequences that will happen if Republicans retain power. It’s up to us to save ourselves!

The question isn’t IF Donald will try to interfere in the upcoming election, it’s how far he will go. If even a quarter of the 70+ million of us who do vote convince at least 1 person to show up from the 80+ million who don’t, we WILL place an essential check on this runaway train, and he knows it!

Trump and Republicans have made it crystal clear they have zero interest in working with Democrats on anything.

The only thing Trump and Republicans want to fix, is elections.

Minneapolis gets nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for defending human rights & community care.

Somewhere Trump is rage-posting in ALL CAPS, throws ketchup, blames immigrants, demands recount.

History really said not you🤡

Community. Peace. Solidarity.
People power works. 🕊️✊

“We don’t need a warrant.” That’s what Congress is voting to fund today. Armed agents. No due process. Fear on public transit. Meanwhile ERs close and patients wait.
This is state violence. Fund care, not intimidation. #FundHealthcareOverICE

Trump, who extorted Ukraine for dirt on Biden, sabotaged the post office to disrupt voting by mail, asked SCOTUS to overturn some state's election results, and demanded red states declare he won anyway, is concerned there was voter fraud in Georgia.

Kayleigh McEnany: "My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive and was just electric."

I wonder what meds her mom takes. 😅

Bully Trump’s presidency has strained alliances by threatening allies such as Canada.

Bullies are best handled by showing strength rather than submission!

He throws tantrums & tariffs like a toddler throws toys.

We Canadians now shop & vacation in Canada eh ❤️🇨🇦

‘Biohazard incinerators’.
⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

A man followed the law.
He carried legally.
Federal agents shot him anyway.

Now liberals are buying guns and signing up for training, not because they worship weapons, but because they watched the rules fail in real time.

This isn’t a culture shift, it’s a mandate in self preservation.
Liberal gun groups say they’ve seen a surge of interest since Minneapolis shootings
Trump administration officials have suggested Alex Pretti shouldn’t have been carrying a weapon at the time of his killing, even though he was legally allowed to

We're all running around putting out fires that the trump regime has started. Some ruins will never be rebuilt. The U.S. was far from perfect, but the myth that we were a beacon of hope is gone. He defiled that illusion. That stain won’t wash out. Maybe it never should be.

Viola Davis reminded us what bravery really looks like. Not just on screen, but in life.
As #BlackHistoryMonth begins, take this with you: Be brave even when your voice shakes. Be bold even when the room is unfamiliar. Be yourself even when the world asks for less.
