An ultimate destructive cowardice🤬

It will come back on them

Special place in hell for those who knowingly led their ppl into a burning house.

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide — Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed According to a source who isn't authorized to comment publicly, the autopsy of Trey Reed reveals that his death was not caused by a suicide.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Recap of important points from Friday chat between @desia.bsky.social and @tify330.bsky.social . You don’t want to miss it. I did but watched replay. They always bring the facts. Thank you both.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

No one is safe or exempt in this kind of authoritarian regime— even their MAGA sycophants!
Sadly they probably won’t realize that until it’s too late.

On our #FiredUpFriday discussion with @tify330.bsky.social today talked about the dangerous politicization of our military.
Always love talking about these important matters with Tiff. It’s a great sanity check bc things are crazy.
