To be clear DO NOT freak out about the horrible things trump is saying he's going to do. That's what they want. Lib tears. Get a good poker face and keep those feelings in dms. A lot of these policies are going to hurt his supporters the most so let them cry in public.

Just another Maga DEI hire. White privilege, racism, hatred of women, substance abuse are hella drugs to these vile man-boys.
Imagine needing YOUR MOM go on TV and say you're a good boy (after she blasted you via email), and then promising NOT to drink on the job, being forced out of a veterans group for misconduct and STILL being considered for a job you're not qualified for.
THAT is serious White privilege.

My dream is a believable tim walz type who runs for congress and runs on getting city folks tax money to pay for rural improvements and to bring back jobs. Devil went down to Georgia could be his campaign song and he runs on being the folk hero who outsmarts the devil, then just pushes dem policies

Something i would love is if people would start hammering home that the gop is less pro sustainability(aka eco friendly) than fucking exxonmobil. All the shit the gop keeps fighting to be undone is stuff people in the industry just aren't interested in/capable of doing anymore.

A happy memory. When i went to the fdr memorial in DC, i saw two young boys playing together like a scene from a movie. I like to think fdr would have cried happy tears if he could have seen that scene and it's why we need to fight to save America from itself.

Psa for women, if you have a rough period after getting the covid vax, it's just a side effect.
Last year I was anxious I was having an ectopic pregnancy and this year I'm experiencing similar (I don't get periods normally) it will pass and it's okay.

Some of you may know former Congressman Long from the time that he drowned out Laura Loomer’s protesting during a House hearing.
Long, who is a professional auctioneer, started auctioning off Loomer’s phone when she wouldn’t stop disrupting the hearing.
Wait for it…

Something to take heart in. The gop is making some very concerning moves. The good thing about this is that either it's bluster or they will try too hard too fast to cause harm. Often the fiercest opponents were the most passionate lovers and maga will quickly realize that change doesn't mean good.
