Fox News is putting Nicki Minaj up telling people to vote red.
Let’s break that down.
Can Nicki Minaj vote? No.
She’s not a U.S. citizen.
Can Nicki Minaj’s husband vote? No, he’s a registered sex offender.
Can Nicki Minaj’s brother vote? No, he’s serving 25 years to life for child sexual assault.
She seems like the perfect spokesperson for MAGA republicans.

"Why are we so sick?"
In 1800, about 43% of children died before their fifth birthday.
Today it's under 4%.
No seed oils, fluoride or vaccines back then.
Just a lot of very small graves.

Just looked at the Louisiana Ballot Initatives and there are TWO measures offering property tax relief for seniors on the ballot.
Who is behind this? How much more generational theft do the Boomers plan on doing? Mandatory year of indentured servitude for college grads next?

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history.
Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.
He’s such a fraud of a person.

Please God let it be Josh Hawley.
If it’s Josh Hawley, I don’t know how I would continue writing about politics.
It would just be the happiest moment of my life and I’d feel like nothing could top it.
It would cause a crisis in my life.

Billionaires are so unaccustomed to being held accountable for their actions, that they treat accountability as persecution.

The maximum amount someone can legally donate to a candidate is $3500.
Elon Musk is allowed to buy an election because Citizens United gave billionaires like him a loophole to undermine democracy.

Nursing home CEO Paul Walczak pocketed the taxes from his workers' paychecks and blew it on a $2M yacht, travel & Cartier.
He got 18 months in prison. Then his mom went to a $1M-a-plate Trump dinner. 3 weeks later: FULL pardon. This is the most corrupt White House in US history.

Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas.
He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas.
But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

A timely reminder that leaked Israeli studies found that pushing pro-Israel propaganda to Westerners didnt work & instead they advised spending millions blasting the West with racist Islamophobic content demonizing Muslims instead.
I think about that a lot while browsing Twitter

3. Rejecting ads for a documentary critical of Elon Musk
4. Shutting down the No Kings instagram page in the middle of a major anti-Trump protest
