@mmpadellan Honestly, so what? I’m no Trump voter, but this is petty. She wore a black coat underneath. There’s real problems to gripe about, not this. Makes us look bad.
I'm almost 40. Ive been studying political history and authoritarian movements for years now. To you younger ppl that may follow me or anyone who comes across this. This is the reality of our situation.
Your parents and grandparents have been completely radicalized by a multi billion dollar echo chamber specifically designed to exploit ppl's fears and prep them to undertake anti-democratic actions against their own country. Ready to commit and accept violence as a means to an end. A death cult. You know what I'm talking about. You've seen it with your own eyes.
One of the biggest pieces of shit to hold office was Ronald Reagan. Tho, he was correct when he said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."
Unfortunately, because of the path he put us on, you are that generation. Forget the culture war. This is what oligarchs use to hide true power. Republicans tell you government doesn't work so therefore it needs to be dismantled but it is them who are actively trying to render our institutions futile. They actively work against your interest and try to blame their opposition for the failure of the government that they are actively destroying. All in an attempt to convince you to give them power to fix it. Only to not relinquish it ever again because they are a dying out party that only represents a minority ruling class that's gasping for air. When anything looks at extinction it will do anything to grasp for life and to protect itself (in this case, power & wealth). You will no longer have a say and your future will be stolen. A reinvented hierarchy predicated on cruelty solely to prop up a ruling class with the law behind them to step on anyone persuing unlimited profits. Only violence will bring back what we once had. That our ancestors fought and bled for.
The American dream all but a nightmare.
You have to understand the gravity of our situation and what such an important crossroad we are at in our history. Literally the future of our country is in your hands.
One of our most revered American icons once said, "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
If this were to stand true you have to come together. You have to organize and get involved. There's a reason why Republicans are trying to make it hard as possible to vote. There's a reason why they want to raise the voting age.
They fear you.
The vote is more powerful then the bullet. Use it while you still can.

“If I was Ron DeSantis’s wife, I would have gotten the care I needed.”
Anya Cook is from Coral Springs, Florida. She was 16 weeks pregnant. She had experienced 17 miscarriages in two years so she wasn't very hopeful.
She was nervous, she and her husband desperately wanted a baby.
What they got instead was a taste of cruelty compliments of the Republican party.
She was at a parade when her amniotic fluid came rushing down her legs.
Fast forward to the ER. She was told there were no beds and had to wait an hour to be seen (Black while needing medical care, ya know).
When finally seen, she was told there was nothing they could do for her even though a 16-week fetus could not survive outside of the womb, she was sent home to deliver on her own.
Why, anti-abortion state; there was a fetal heartbeat detected; and according to them, she wasn’t in danger.
She delivered the fetus in a toilet and immediately started bleeding out. She almost lost her life and may not be able to conceive again.
But hey, Republicans are pro-life, right? Republicans are sadistic and immoral.

@DuchessSexpert I don’t know a lot about the situation but from what I heard, I thought maybe she was unfeeling from some mental health issues or some post partum. She is VERY young and for all those reasons you stated I could se how she is in a very difficult situation.
@baddestmamajama Because they love only power, they don’t have people that actually love them and they love in return, usually those relationships are conditional and of mutual benefit. They don’t typically have hobbies because they lost themselves to greed and power, it’s a mental illness.
@JuddLegum Wall St &Main St are 2 different Americas,we keep measuring how well businesses are doing but not how well average Americans are doing. I don’t think it’s as political as ppl make it out to be. It’s a class issue, some ppl may be fooled & blame the other party, blame billionaires
My yearly family beach trip where my entire family sleeps in the same bedroom, but cooking and cleaning and mental load are divided among 10+ other adults…. models in so many ways a less stressful way to live.
So the whole point of the “Twitter files” was that Biden was colluding with Twitter to remove damaging info from the site but it turns out Musky was served with a warrant from the DOJ for Trump’s account and not only did he refuse to comply but he warned Trump that they were trying to obtain his data.
NEW: One of the funders of the anti-child trafficking hit film “Sound of Freedom” was recently arrested and charged with — you guessed it — FELONY CHILD KIDNAPPING.
Is anyone surprised? Anyone at all?
Republicans are drowning immigrants, talking about slitting people’s throats, saying slavery was good for black ppl, threatening to arrest pregnant women for crossing state lines, waging war on LGBTQ community&inciting an insurrection…yet, they remain politically viable?! How?!
On Wednesday, a federal judge confirmed that Donald Trump is in fact a rapist. And not only did this barely register as a news story, not a single member of the @GOP cared. If that doesn’t make clear to you how little regard the Republican Party has for women, nothing will.
Doctors be like: Don’t confuse your Google search with my 4 years of Medical School
Patients be like: Don’t confuse your 4 years of Medical School with my 20 years of living with the fucking disease
🚨🚨Anyone who is even thinking about voting for RFK Jr in the Democratic primary MUST watch this devastating video. They’ll learn how his blatantly false and totally irresponsible vaccine disinformation led to a horrific measles outbreak in American Samoa. That led directly to 83 deaths — mostly of young children.
RFK Jr never apologized to the families who lost their children.
Interesting fact: Tony Bennett was demoted during World War II because he ate with a black soldier before racial integration. Tony Bennett invited his Black friend, Frank Smith, to dine with him at a time when soldiers were still officially segregated. As a result, a bigoted officer demoted Bennett from corporal to private and reassigned him to a unit that exhumed mass graves and prepared the bodies of soldiers for shipment back home[1]. This incident was an example of the widespread prejudice and discrimination that existed in the army during that time[1]. Tony Bennett later became an advocate for civil rights and joined Dr. Martin Luther King during the 1965 civil rights march in Alabama[1].
RIP Tony Bennett
