So beautiful. 🐝🐝🐝

Both senators in Montana are MAGA goons. One suddenly & unexpectedly pulled his reelection bid at the very last minute so only his chosen successor could file (mere minutes before the deadline). Doesn't matter how many calls these two get, they will vote "for". Sucks not to have any representation.

But CEO pay went up...again.

And on Good Shepherd Sunday 😊

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. May the memory of your life together bring you comfort and peace.

Exactly!

It's all part of the con. Crash the market, buy low just before he announces the pause in tariffs and the market soars. Market manipulation...who in the administration and his circle of rich buddies just got a whole lot richer (at our expense as our retirement accounts took a huge hit)?

I’m so sick and tired of hearing about book bans! Can we seriously just ban stupid people instead? If something offends you don’t engage with it!

Jessica Rabbit #250318 (Anatolian Shepherd) is just 2 years old. She shares her kennel with 7 year old Chuck #250330 - both are stressed, scared and running out of time in Apple Valley CA. Now soon to be added to the euthanasia list, please help us help them -

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.

They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.

And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

More than 1,000 in Helena, Montana!

Over 1,000 in Helena, Montana.

Over 1,000 in Helena, Montana, which is absolutely red. Other Montana towns held rallies as well, but I don't know how many showed up in those.

Good words, Terry! Thanks for speaking up at the Hands Off rally.

@belish.bsky.social saw your BlueSky address on your poster at the Helena rally.

Our alphabet agencies have been/are being dismantled, or leadership has been replaced by MAGA toadies.

At this point, Greenland/Denmark should close said airbase.

This penalizes hard working Americans.

Already did...

They told you the culture war was about values.
It’s not. It’s about control.
The more distracted you are, the less you’ll notice who’s robbing you.
Right now, you’re willing to hand them the keys to your poverty and insult any libtards while you do it

🧵 8. You deserve better.
You deserve healthcare, a living wage, to retire without fear; truth, not distraction.
To get that, stop fighting the people who aren’t your enemy.

🧵 >7. The truth is: you’ve been lied to.

Not by your neighbors. Not by “the woke mob.”
But by the people who need your vote, your loyalty, and your outrage — to stay rich and powerful while your life stays hard.

🧵 >6. You’re not conservative anymore — you’re reactive.

You’ve been trained to respond to every issue with rage, sarcasm, or mockery.
Ask yourself: when was the last time you felt hopeful about a policy, a leader, or the future?
Because they don’t want you hopeful. They want you mad.

🧵 >5. “Woke” isn’t ruining your life — billionaires are.

They’re stripping your benefits, privatizing healthcare, making record profits while you fight each other online about bathrooms.
And while you’re arguing about flags or books, they’re buying your neighborhood.

🧵 4. You’ve been taught to hate what you don’t understand.
Not because you’re dumb. Fear is easier to sell: of immigrants, queer folk, new ideas.
Every time you get mad at “them,” you’re doing exactly what they want. It’s easier to hate those in your community than billionaires you’ll never meet.

🧵 >3. You’re angry at liberals because they look like the elite.

They have degrees. They read the news. They live in cities.
But those aren’t the people outsourcing your jobs, jacking up housing prices, or lobbying to keep your wages low.
The real elite are laughing — at all of us.🧵

🧵 >2. They gave you a villain: “woke.”

They turned your real pain into a culture war.
Instead of fixing anything, they convinced you the problem is:
• Pronouns
• Trans kids
• College students
• Diversity
Why?

Because outrage is easier to sell, and it points the finger away from them. 🧵

🧵>1. You feel like you’re being left behind — and you’re not wrong.

Wages suck. Everything costs more. Your job feels disposable. The world moves fast and doesn’t care how hard you work.
That’s real.
But the people who caused it? Aren’t drag queens or gender studies majors. 🧵
