I’m really sick of GOP red state hell policies. I’m also very tired of feeling like my vote doesn’t count.

If you ever want to know why we are divided as a nation, Donald Trump blamed the "radical Left" and Democrats before Charlie Kirk's assassin was even identified.

You can begin right there.

Listen up all you people calling for us to unify: until the MF president of the United States grows up, stops talking shit about the Democrats and fanning the flames to incite violence, there will be no unity, only anger.

Trump and his MAGA ilk created this mess and they need to clean it up.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder...

Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed.

Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs.

This is Marcelo Gomes. He is 18 years old and in highschool. He was detained by ICE on Saturday morning. His “crime?” He was on his way to volleyball practice. This kid is not a criminal. He has no record. He did nothing wrong, and he need to be released.

dismissed class early so I wouldn't miss Booker breaking Thurmond's record in real time. (As a person who grew up in and whose family is from SC, this one's personal for me. Thurmond was in office when my grandparents were in college AND when my ass was in college)

I’ve never seen Pete this angry and rightfully so. Trump and his administration are incompetent and they are putting this country in danger. Unbelievable fuckup.!
