Mike says "he has run a very effective campaign ... that was his persona online"
How much creativity does it take to just promise to give out checks to everyone with money we don't have? I guess the "creative" part is explicitly tying it to an election result to make it a direct bribe. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoMike Johnson on Republican opposition to Trump's $5k bribe to voters: "It's a new creative idea ... we applaud the president for thinking outside the box"
What kind of person tries to make one of our Nation's greatest tragedies all about themself? #Pathetic
Thanks to a subservient Supreme Court, it’s perfectly legal for Donald to bribe idiots with $5K they’ll never see because it’s an “official act.” Criminal liability aside, he can be impeached, convicted and removed, but we need to win a LOT more Democratic Senate seats this election! Let’s go folks!
Check this out Joey ~ not surprising that he accused Obama of doing something he would do ~ what he is now doing 💀🤬😤 #FDT
WATTERS & EL-SAYED. Watters: Do you think men should play women's sports? El-Sayed: I'm running for U.S. Senate. It's insane. I'm out here trying to take on the health care crisis and big pharma, and you're asking me about who gets to play what sports. It's silly. People can't take you seriously.
You have honored, and continue to honor, Tam with every post. Thank you for sharing. I think of myself as well read, but there is no post of yours in which I do not learn something new. This post particularly was full of information I never learned but always suspected. Tam trained a warrior 🫡
The lesson, my friends: White supremacist terrorism was not confined to the South. Extremist groups can infiltrate institutions and Northern racial violence has often been erased from public memory—all by design. True story. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 www.bunkhistory.org/resources/yo...

The 'Black Legion' and American Fascism in the 1920s and 1930s
Today, the Black Legion, and Jones’ role in it, remains a largely missing link in the history of U.S. fascism.

She was the best of us, a mentor and a sister to me. I recall the many back & forth arguments I had with racists who tried to dismiss my content. Tam taught me how to add visuals to my posts. Not only I provided proof to back up my posts, I received more engagement. It was because of Tam.✡️🕊
I met Tam years ago on Twitter. I was new at social media. I learned a lot from her as to how to back up my posts with credible sources and visuals; which she was really good at. I made a promise to dedicate my history threads to Tam since the day she passed away. I've kept my promise.🙏🏽🕊✡️
I’ve heard the tape of this child predator telling his victim how hard this has been on man of God Instead of firing his ass, Tennessee assigned Byrd to an all male health committee deciding to ban abortion even in cases of rape or incest before he retired in 2023 www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
Three women accused a Tennessee legislator of sexual assault. He was still reelected in a landslide.
In the rural South, #MeToo doesn’t mean much.
