Animal lover, LGBTQIA+ ally, if you love nature, save the environment. Sick of fascists and MAGAts. Vote Blue if you value democracy. Democrats aren't perfect, but they're not batsh*t crazy. I swear quite a lot. Democrat for life.

The more people learn about Project 2025, the more they hate it. We should make sure everyone hears about it.

Jack’s dad used to be hot. But Jack got all the goofiness and none of the abs. But if he’s yummy to you, I’m not going to yuck.

Yeah, apparently if you yell loudly enough and lie enough, you come across as “powerful” to men. However, it comes across as “domestic abuser and bully” to a lot of women.

IMO, the Robert Shaw as Quint speech about the USS Indianapolis in Jaws makes the entire movie. He should have gotten his second Oscar for that scene alone.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense, so it’s unclear to me that this person is much of an influencer.

Kudos to the UK for passing its IQ test. France... you failed. Germany, stop copying the answers from Italy. USA... Hey! USA! Pay attention! Stop eating the mercury from the thermometer. No. NO! Get that out of your mouth, this instant!

You think he’s hot? Now, to me, he looks like a ginger Ken doll next to Karl Urban. But taste is individual.

Trump has finally realized that women are not amused by his abortion bans, nor are the people who love them. He's backing away from a national abortion ban, saying it belongs with the states, which may lose him support with evangelicals. He's just a tool for anyone with money.

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.

There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

Trump was so resistant to doing the job that he tried to get us to call Mar a-Lago "the Winter White House" to legitimize the fact that he planned to spend most of his time on vacation.

And that's why the UK voted out the Tories and in with Labour. The Tories allowed the NHS-once the UK's crown jewel-to fall into a shambles. And in the US, the so-called conservatives have already said they'll destroy our Constitution and our social safety net. Conservatives fail repeatedly.

The problem with austerity measures is that they never target the correct people. Instead of targeting the working poor, it's much more effective to target overpaid CEOs and the wealth hoarders. Instead, it's always "untrammeled austerity for thee and unending profits for me".

Ah fuck. Everyone who told me Chevron being overturned wouldn’t matter can kindly have a seat now. I don’t really consider myself an expert in much but considering I’ve been working in health regs for the past almost 8 years, I knew this was 100% coming. I just didn’t think it would be so fast 😭

Don’t vote for the guy who was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Don’t vote for the guy who worships Vladimir Putin. Dont vote for the guy who admires Xi Jinping. Don’t vote for the guy who loves Kim Jong Un. Vote for Dark Brandon. He’s a good man, not a disgusting traitor.

The GOP is trying to pull the same crap on Joe Biden that they pulled on Hillary in 2016. Remember that feeding frenzy? The GOP always resorts to dirty tricks because their policies are appalling. They just want to take our rights away.

I used to have a boss we took out for lunch to celebrate her promotion; she wanted pizza. We were looking at the menu, leaned over and said, “what’s this?” I said it’s a mushroom, and she giggled, “you’re kidding”. One of the pizzas had shitakes on it. She was special.
