@ElizabethS96899@OlajimmySamuel@luxemiaa I was impressed he had something in his car. I’ve had a husband and a bunch of boyfriends and not one of them has ever purchased, carried or stored menstrual products for me.
I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

This is Diana. She was only 7. Russia murdered her today 🕯
Despite the doctors’ efforts, they could not save her. Diana was brought to the hospital with severe facial injuries. Her heart stopped multiple times during resuscitation, and at 11:15, doctors pronounced her dead.
Gray-haired man in civilian coat runs into flames at Kharkiv kindergarten hit by Russian drones y'day. Emerges with child—pink pants and slippers visible under his jacket. Goes back in.
2 journalists recognized him 👇
This is George Retes, a U.S. Citizen and Army Iraq War veteran. He was illegally detained by Trump’s ICE for over three days in isolation without access to an attorney or a phone. Now, he’s suing the Trump Administration.
RETWEET if you stand with Retes against Trump!
If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.
So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.
@JasonMaves@0xBurnt@PaulStone68@JoshuaKnaak@RandPaul Yup. If Trump had invested his ~$200M inheritance in the S&P 500 in 1982, it could be worth over $10B today. The S&P 500 has averaged ~10–11% annual returns over that time. His net worth is estimated at ~$2–3B, meaning his business ventures underperformed the market.
@PaulStone68@JoshuaKnaak@RandPaul It’s not four. It’s five.
1. Trump Taj Mahal (Bankruptcy in 1991)
2.Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (Bankruptcy in 1992)
3. Trump Castle (Bankruptcy in 1992)
4. Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (Bankruptcy in 2004)
5. Trump Entertainment Resorts (Bankruptcy in 2009)
During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.
It is ironic because trump firing a Black 4-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff only to name a less qualified white man to the same job is the reason why DEI policies exist in the first place.
With plenty of time left before holiday card season this is a great reminder that if your last name ends with z (or s, ch, or sh), to make it plural add es.
This is hard to take seriously given the distant relation, but Walzes for Trump would have helped.
