Under Trump: -Household electricity costs are up 18% -Ground beef prices are up 22% -Gas prices are up 40% -ACA out-of-pocket premiums are up 58% -Inflation is at a three-year high Tired of "winning" yet?

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father of three who built houses in Houston, started his own business, and raised his family here for 35 years. His son became a teacher. ICE agents killed him in cold blood. 🧵

Remember when we got rid of the "deep state" so we could no longer have stupid wars in the middle east, we wouldn't waste billions of tax dollars in government contracts to deep state allies, and we could release the Epstein Files.

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

My recommendation for reacting to all stupid Trump tweets and AI slop memes: Demand: End to Iran War, Release Epstein Files, and Solve the Health Care Crisis in my country!

This all definitely ends with Trump agreeing to let Iran keep the uranium and collect tolls in the strait in exchange for the rights to a new Trump Intl. Golf Course outside Tehran.

I'm being to seriously question whether it was a good idea to put our intelligence, security, and diplomacy in the hands of podcasters and shady real estate developers.

Does this mean I’m not getting my tariff rebate? I’m still waiting for my doge check. I’m beginning to think I shouldn’t have bought that jet ski before check arrived

Let's get this straight. Instead of investigating actual people incriminated in the Epstein files, we have Jim Jordan (credibly alleged sexual assault protector at Ohio State) grilling a women Hillary Clinton on capital hill. You can't make this ish up. Do your job, congress!

Dear Social Media- It is actually possible to deplore Hamas/Oct7 and the Islamic Republic of Iran while also rejecting the actions of Israel amongst civilians and it is possible to want violent criminals to be locked up or deported without supporting ICE kidnapping children and shooting civilians.
