The female gaze is a damp wet rat of a man who looks haunted by a ghost of sadness. Preferably he is literally wet, eg.

If you can spare a follow please consider Retired Brigadier General @shawnforcongress.bsky.social who is running against Marjorie Taylor Greene. Every single vote he brings out is going to also help Ossoff statewide. And he is exposing the hell out of Marge. Donโ€™t forget Lauren Boebert almost lost

Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

Trump not welcome in Scotland. A photo of Trump sits beside the text wearing a 'make America great again' hat.

As Donald Trump visits Scotland later this month, Keir Starmer faces a choice.

He can stand up for democracy and human rights.

Or he can continue to bow down before Trump's destructive politics of hate, division and criminality.

He can't do both.
