@majorityreport.bsky.social I just watch some great content think you might be interested in. #TristenRyanPerkins A wise 13 year-old who offers a great perspective of Mr. D.J.T. and content on TikTok if nothing else he deserves a shout out for how he presents his perspective on Trumpers.

Allowing a criminal to walk into your home to steal from you was once not normal. I am beyond fed up with the Trump scum filling his bank accounts as he emptied USA of a functional government.
Market manipulation is normal when you vote for an orange criminal rather than the sane and qualified lady. 🤷 #Tariffs

Bye bye Freedom. As corporations kiss the Ass of the felon Donald trump for some few billion dollar deals people sit back and turn away. How many children did Donald Trump lure into his model agency or beauty shows so he could walk in on them as they were changing? What more evil must he do?

How many Billions have been lost by the people and handed over to the overlords of wealth as a result of D.J.T. 's tariff game?

Are there no consequences for these trumper's who are grabbing innocent people of our country. People who they feel deserve to be removed from society. D.J.T is a felon and needs to be stopped. Donald is not king.

And now as the people of the world sit back and ignore the passing of our once basic human rights of Individualism there are more laws passing to criminalize LGBQ+. Turkey has made it illegal for any gathering of LGBQ+ people. Building a list to track all LGBQ for future actions.
