🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

No Kings is reporting that 7,000,000 Americans turned out to rally against Trump today.
That's over THREE TIMES the number of votes Donald Trump claims to have gotten over Kamala Harris.

BREAKING: Our crowd count estimate from the No Kings coalition responsible for planning today’s event is 7 MILLION nationwide.
7 MILLION of you gathered across the country to peacefully protest today.
2 million more than the first No Kings action in June.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are.
You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends.
We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

You can tell No Kings is effective because MAGA world has spent days mocking and fearmongering about it. If it wasn't effective, they wouldn't need to mention it at all.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.
