Then perhaps don't critique what's been said/posted..? It's not that difficult. A simple google search will tell you a lot about the great things Marc Elias is doing.

When you post something this incredibly embarrassing, you are allowed to either delete it or apologize for it or both. If you were one-tenth as informed as you seem to think you are, you would know who Elias is.

Let’s start a go fund me!

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.

It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.

Bahahaha... In all caps, too. Whoever runs Governor Newsom's social media accounts needs a beer and a shot! 😅🤣😂

Phang: Let people understand—especially Republicans who are in same-sex marriages—that if they think the Supreme Court is going to give them a carve-out because of their political affiliation, they are dead-ass wrong.

“How is the world supposed to trust a nation degenerate enough to elect an ultra-corrupt lunatic who is tearing up the global trade system designed by and for America itself—twice?

CW: Sexual assault

In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.

This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...

Tagging @marinakjenkins.bsky.social!!

Jenkins: Trump strips medical care from millions of Americans, realizes he can’t actually hold onto power because the American people are furious. So instead of trying to convince the public to let his party keep control of the House—they come up with this scheme
