In Argentina, 1st round of fight to repeal abortion ban, campaigners hung names of Senators who voted no from neon green hanger & called them "Senador Percha." Second round, they won. Congress(wo)man Pedo seems pretty apt for anyone covering up for Epstein.

The U.S. Constitution gives a heck of a lot of power over elections for the House, Senate, and President to *Congress.*
It gives precisely zero power over elections to the President.
Trump’s bluster is scary, but it’s also bluster.

States are not “agents” of the federal government when it comes to federal elections and the President *literally* has nothing to do with how they administer them. Also didn’t they spend years blaming Dominion Voting Systems for “switching votes”??

Thread time because I’m annoyed by a few posts. Democrats have never abandoned the working class, you just like white populists who speak like annoying 1st-yr college kids. The WHITE working class abandoned Democrats in 1964 when the Civil Rights Act passed, like *every other class* of white voters.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs.
Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law.
Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more.

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition.
This may force thousands to drop out.
