According to MAGA Republicans every American Muslim is also a member of a terrorist group like Muslim Brotherhood. Following that logic, is every American Christian a member of the KKK? Asking for a friend🙄

MAGA is white America’s latest attempt to prevent the inevitable multiracial destiny American demographics will produce. White superiority is a lie that’s kept a hateful minority in power for too long. They lost a civil war over 150 years ago; it’s time for them to accept that fact.

We’ve never had rigged elections, and rarely had problems with casting and counting votes, until Donald Trump got into politics. This isn’t normal. Every candidate accepts election results, save one boy who never got enough motherly love as a child.

It’s strange living in a country where the President of the United States publicly decided whether to televise the execution of a convicted murderer. For once, he made the right and moral decision to not televise the execution. We’ve fallen far when our government contemplates public execution.

Streaming services & Social media shouldn’t carry it on their platforms People of good conscience shouldn’t watch The American people need to show amoral leaders we still value human life Executing a person is a solemn event not a public spectacle

Televised execution brought to you by the party of all lives matter🤨 It’s always been a lie to control women not because they care about life.

Trump is in cahoots with gangs to steal Venezuela’s gold. We’re now a nation using its power to rob other countries of their natural resources. How does any of this corruption benefit the American people? It doesn’t, it just makes us unwitting accomplices to Trumps crimes🤬 Impeach and remove!

We’re living in a time when the HHS secretary is arguing with a governor about children dying from measles. We’re living through largest measles outbreak in 35 yrs. Before RFK Jr. we were a nation that had eradicated one of the most deadly vaccine preventable childhood diseases. Now we’re not🤨

Unjustified podcast read my question during Sep 6 episode. What benefit do J6 convicted felons get from having their indictments annulled? It restores full rights to convicted felons (ie. guns) whose sentences were commuted. DOJ rewriting history to remove inconvenient facts from public record.

I know there are more important things going on in the world, but what’s happening with the Lincoln reflecting pool repairs? There was such a rush to perform the vanity project but no word on getting it repaired. The pool is drained, fenced off and the public is unable to access it.

SecDef is ordering the dismantling of a newly formed drone battalion meant to develop drone combat operations. This rash decision is undermining our military’s ability to win modern wars. IMO this battalion is being shuttered because SecDef fired the general responsible for creating it.

BINGO! James Talarico: "I have a legislative record, Ken Paxton has a criminal record. He doesn't serve us, he serves himself. Since taking office, he has become a multimillionaire on a government salary. His net worth has increased 7000% while the pay of Texans is the same."

This should have every American up in arms. This administration is turning the vast powers of the federal government against its people. To those who’ve feared government overreach and tyranny, this is the moment you’ve been worrying about🤨

Texans are rallying to halt destructive border construction in Big Bend National Park. Even if you're not in Texas, call your representatives and urge them to call for the halt of the destruction.

The unitary executive theory is antithetical to our constitutional republic. It’s been the Robert’s court pet project for a generation. It’s led to the current White House occupant who believes he’s omnipotent and answerable to none.

Donald Trump is flirting with starting a world war and there isn’t anyone in his administration who can convince him of the dire situation he’s placed the United States military in. America is speeding towards a disastrous outcome. Time for our military leaders to reject illegal orders. #ETTD

MAGAts are working to erase history by pardoning insurrectionists and trying to convince the public it was a group of peaceful tourists. The Jan 6 insurrection against our constitution was real. It’s also a fact the American people elected him to a second term in 2024. #NeverForget

Peggy Shinners@pshinkicker61.bsky.social

And never forget he pardoned them all. Every last one of them. #Insurrectionists #Traitors

I have nothing to add but more people should understand ICE is basically hiring violent men to fill law enforcement roles. They view it as a green light to legally use violence against any person near them🤨

She had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health," and that "he was abusive in their relationship." So they knew they were sending a crazy violent man with a gun out to fill their jail quota.

We've beaten dangerous products before. We can do it again. The same corporate playbook that protected Big Tobacco is still being used today. Texans deserve an Ag Commissioner who stands with families and farmers, not chemical monopolies.
