This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

“We the People” can stop this madness. Stand up. Speak out. I’m tired of hearing about “criminals” from the ultimate criminals who are in charge of the country. Enough is Enough. #HoldGovernmentLeadersAccountable

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

The midterms are going to be Republicans fighting to the death shouting that Trump isn’t a pedophile

That is the hill they choose to die on

Not Medicaid. Not food for for the poor. Not housing. Not affordability

Pedophilia

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

THEY DO IT SO YOU WON’T NOTICE
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

FWIW, this was in California. In the Bay Area.

You know, where book bans "don't happen" because it's a "good" "blue" state.

If you were celebrating Banned Books Week earlier this month, time to get on the phone and spread the word.
Joanna Ho and Caroline Kusin Pritchard, authors of THE DAY THE BOOKS DISAPPEARED, had their elementary school author visit canceled when they arrived and students were waiting for them.

Why? Because they wouldn't *not* talk about book bans–inspiration for their book.

Why Did These Authors Have Their School Visit Canceled? They Were Talking About Their Book About Book Bans.
Country Club Elementary School in California's Bay Area canceled an author visit moments before it began. Why? It covered book bans.

Absolutely ridiculous to deny students the chance of meeting authors and hearing about great books! I’m tired of hearing these stories. Everyone should get to read what they want, with a nod to age-appropriate material. Author visits should never be canceled after contracts are signed. I will write.
Thank you to the community who has rallied around to support!
Why did @joannahowrites.bsky.social and @carolinekpritchard.bsky.social have their author visit for their book THE DAY THE BOOKS DISAPPEARED (illus. by @dansantat.bsky.social) cancelled minutes before the school assembly was supposed to begin?

The government doesn’t care about the people/the citizens who gave them their jobs. VOTE them ALL out! This is a bipartisan failure. Humanity needs strong leaders.

John Roberts and his miserable excuse for a high court of justice are presiding over a great disassembling of the United States and the rare American experiment in government by its people. It began with Citizens United and it continues relentlessly. This is a second civil war in slow motion.
