I'm getting botted.
What that means is my account is being inundated with a high volume of low quality bot follows that then mass unfollow, which tanks my score and makes my content less visible.
It also keeps me perpetually stuck below 100k, because for every real follower I gain, I lose a fake one. Zero sum game.
It's to silence me.
I will not be silenced.
November is coming.

@1stSvelteCelt The reason they're doing what they're doing now is bc of the failure to address the first insurrection properly. Looking at your, Merrick Garland.
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
There’s a part of Jon Ossoff’s Atlanta rally everyone missed, and it may have been the most powerful moment of the entire night.
“I’ve got two little girls at home. Eva’s four and Lila’s one… But this isn’t the world I want to leave them.”
Then he put America’s broken priorities into one devastating sentence:
“We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world a thousand times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee health care and pre-K.”
And then came the line every parent will feel in their bones:
“When Eva’s old enough to ask me why I let this happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully…
THAT I DIDN’T.”
🔥🔥🔥
This is the entire damn fight.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “Why did you decide to invoke Natalie Harp specifically in that speech?”
Sen Ossoff: “…here’s the point. We’re in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives. Our naval logistics are fraught. The global energy system is in crisis, and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides, who are his security blanket, to make him feel good about himself, to reassure him that he’s doing a great job, to help him while he designs his new ballroom, and he adorns the Oval Office in gold, and picks the interior decorations on this new luxury flying palace he received from a foreign prince, when every single minute of every single day, what the president of the United States should be doing is bearing his most solemn burden of care for the sailors and Marines and aviators and all service members deployed on his orders, on the basis of his lies, to this disaster in the Middle East. And just like the West Wing is full of sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear and enable him, so is the United States Congress. Republicans in the House and Senate who still lack the spine to tell this president what he doesn’t want to hear.”😳
One of the candidates for mayor of Rehoboth Beach had complained in writing about the town's rainbow crosswalks and dismissed the local theater as having a "woke, drag queen bent." She finished third. The winner is the first openly gay mayor in the city's history.
Susan Stewart took the Aug. 8 race with 632 votes, roughly 61 percent in a four-way contest, becoming the first openly gay mayor of Rehoboth Beach and the first woman to lead the Delaware resort town since the 1980s. She had only been a city commissioner for about a year. She'll be sworn in on Sept. 18.
The third-place finisher was sitting commissioner Suzanne Goode, who ended up with 177 votes. Weeks before the election, the Washington Blade reported on emails in which Goode called CAMP Rehoboth a "questionable non-profit," criticized the rainbow crosswalks and complained that the city leaned too heavily on its LGBTQ identity.
Her husband Jeffrey ran for a commissioner seat the same day and lost to Patrick Gossett, who is gay.
Stewart credited the community that turned out for her. "I'm very grateful because the LGBTQ+ community not only voted for me, but also supported me," she told the Blade.
The crosswalks are staying.
@HQNewsNow@DickDurbin Once Blanche is the AG, the slush fund will be back in play! He will fall in line with everything Trump wants. Everyone should remember how he met and moved Maxwell. His role in the Epstein files should have been enough to disqualify him!
I am grateful that the rule of law prevailed in my defamation case against Patrick Byrne.
The court’s order which you can read for yourselves speaks for itself.
“the most plausible explanation is that Defendant is not credible, fabricates awesome and farfetched narratives to garner attention in the media, and fabricated the defamatory story at issue in this case to damage Plaintiff’s reputation.” (Page 14 of the order.)
The fact that stephen miller is saying the US is closed to asylum seekers from Haiti while granting asylum to white South Africans should tell you all you need to know.
@DoctorLemma Great story.
Regular men who join the military get conned and coerced and propagandized into doing violence.
Their natural guilt has been branded PTSD.
The billionaires are still conning young men into signing up. We all need to resist and oppose such madness.
