The irony of people doing this fake virtue signaling (after an entire campaign rife with fainting spells over the cost of eggs), is that their political deity is famous for manufacturing his clothing outside the US and for failing to pay American contractors.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Jimmy Carter Appreciation 🧵:

As we mourn Carter's death, there will be lots of discussion of his presidency and his post-presidential exploits, including his work with @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the @cartercenter.bsky.social.

But I want to talk about Carter and the federal judiciary....

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

"Natural" was a third of women dying in childbirth & half of babies dying before age 5.
'Natural' was entire families wiped out by diphtheria, the D in the TDAP vaccine, & thousands of children paralyzed by polio.
This is privileged arrogance & willful ignorance of the before times.
Some young women are celebrating the nomination of Kennedy, a medical skeptic, to the nation’s top health position, saying he takes their concerns about nutrition and medicine seriously.

This is an echo of the general election. The trans Democrat is blamed for "sparking" the crisis despite the fact she did nothing beyond be herself.

Before she arrived to DC, or made any demands, the GOP preemptively turned her identity into a political issue.

So, who is doing identity politics?
all she did was exist
