🚨DAMN‼️Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew doesn’t mince words about Trump and the conflict in Iran. Saying the quiet part out loud, this war is a distraction from the Epstein Files and Trump is “public enemy number one” when it comes to the economy. Bravo Mr Kinew, more of this please‼️

A rectangle piece of cardboard covered with magazine print as a background. In the foreground are mountains and an overhead shot of a seashore. Overlaying these are a variety of bathtubs, fish, lamps, plums, and a bowl of cucumber salad. There are also the words twist, bright idea, fish, and take a trip glued over other elements of the collage.

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?
