Juneau, Alaska. Don’t blame me! I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Flip the House blue in ‘26! No kings or Nazis. 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸
Pinned
Imho, the question is not ‘why did Harris lose?’
It’s ‘why the fuck did trump win?’
How did a racist, misogynistic, lying crook win? My analysis is: Racism, misogyny, billionaires, PUTIN, and a firehose of lies promulgated through a negligent - if not complicit - media.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Casualties in World War II:

Soviet Union: 26,600,000.

United States: 407,316.

And the Russians got to Berlin first.

So, no, the United States did not do "more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result 'on' World War II." That is just propaganda.

Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian.

Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.
