47 years is the *opposite* of imminent (which means "something that will happen soon"). These people are so stupid.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

It’s so hard not to become distracted. But, we must stay the course & continue to make noise & demand that all Trump-Epstein files be released. Un-redacted! Now.

The only thing that should be redacted are victim’s names.

Let the stones fall where they fall.
I care not.

The Trump regime chose not to notify our allies that we were launching a war across the middle East. Now, not only Americans are stranded, but so are our allies- tourists, diplomats, people who work in countries that became war zones overnight

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

A crypto investor just donated Β£9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
