Her border platform echoed Mitt Romney’s in 2012 and she admonished a protest movement that energized thousands of student protesters and tiktok leftists in 2024. Harris abandoned the left on some of young voters’ top issues to capture 5 libertarians, of course they weren’t excited to vote for her 🤷🏻♀️

The first thing everyone in this country who is anti-fascist can do now is to join something where people are already gathering to address any issue. Can't find anything you want to join, then make your own thing and invite people to join you. This is not a time for Lone Rangers.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Lots of people falling for this dude's right-wing propaganda.
Costco has never sold mifepristone pills.
This "story" is nothing more than a weak attempt to generate outrage at Costco.
It's like saying McDonald's doesn't sell mifepristone pills due to "activist pressure".
It's just not true.

Remember a few months ago when lots of folks were saying not to be disruptful while protesting, cause that's what the administration wants, so he can declare martial law?
Well, Big Balls is proof he didn't need a reason, he'd just make one up.
This was going to happen no matter what. Keep at it.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.
I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.
Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
