Hard to believe it's so long ago now.

Democratic activists have big plans to make sure that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is hounded about his decision late Thursday night to sign a draconian ban on abortion after six weeks every time he steps out of his state.

#activism 'New York hates you': Trump motorcade gets hostile greeting in NYC https://www.rawstory.com/trump-new-york-hates-you/

Not to be left out of the "we hate children more than you" circus, Arizona just declared via their supreme court that it's completely legal for churches to cover up sex abuse of children due to "clergy privilege"

Fuck every single republican and every single Mormon. If you let your leaders do this to kids, you're just as complicit.

Coach Popovich's 9 minute speech on gun control and the inefficacy and utter spinelessness of the #GOP

Sharing this version until the #Spurs release their video with the gun control speech kept in.

Only white guys can look at what happened on Jan 6th and still ask women and POC not to paint all MAGA chuds as racists/sexists.

Listen up @TNHouseReps!

Your blatant racism is why you lit a fire under the rest of the country.

#BREAKING Clarence Thomas says trips paid for by billionaire were 'personal hospitality,' not business

#CoSoNews #News #Scotus

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/justice-clarence-thomas-explains-failure-report-trips-paid-conservativ-rcna78696

“Crow told ProPublica that Thomas “never asked for any of this hospitality” and that his treatment of the justice was “no different from the hospitality we have extended to our many other dear friends.”

That’s still corrupt and illegal.

These people do not understand corruption. You DO NOT give people gifts under the table. This is quid pro quo and Thomas needs to go.

A corrupt Justice should not be on the Supreme Court.

Thomas is corrupt.
