I’m really sick of GOP red state hell policies. I’m also very tired of feeling like my vote doesn’t count.

Listen up all you people calling for us to unify: until the MF president of the United States grows up, stops talking shit about the Democrats and fanning the flames to incite violence, there will be no unity, only anger.
Trump and his MAGA ilk created this mess and they need to clean it up.

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder...
Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed.
Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

This is Marcelo Gomes. He is 18 years old and in highschool. He was detained by ICE on Saturday morning. His “crime?” He was on his way to volleyball practice. This kid is not a criminal. He has no record. He did nothing wrong, and he need to be released.

He did not write that book. The guy who DID write it has been loudly saying for years that Trump is a fraud and a moron
Kevin Hassett: "But in the end, the president wrote the book 'The Art of the Deal,' and it's a great book. I really enjoyed the book. And it shows how to get great deals. And that's what he's doing right now for the American people."

dismissed class early so I wouldn't miss Booker breaking Thurmond's record in real time. (As a person who grew up in and whose family is from SC, this one's personal for me. Thurmond was in office when my grandparents were in college AND when my ass was in college)
