#NeverAgain has become #ActuallyAgainRightNow

First they came for women's bodily autonomy.

Then they came for the transgender and nonbinary.

Then they came for the drag queens, gays and lesbians.

Then they came for the history teachers.

Then they came for the vaccinated.

Then they came for the bloggers.

Pro Tip: If you want to avoid recreating the twitter site, instead of amassing followers, pick a few like minded folks from your interests out of the feed and just enjoy hanging out.

They'll help you find others and pretty quickly you'l have a nice little comfy group.

While J keeps us safe from trolls, we can also keep ourselves happy by just enjoying our interests and letting the rest roll by in the firehose.

Did we ever find out where Injustice Thomas was when he went missing last week?

That was the sigh emoji. Sigh.

Just remember folks, if they rule incorrectly, Biden is free to open some seats on the Supreme Court with Seal Team 6. 😮‍💨

I’m we have to listen about Stormy and the mushroom quickfire, and now oral from SCOTUS?

If I were gonna run a psyop it would be to convince the MAGA heads and QAnon believers that the greatest threat to their success was the imposters in their ranks not the “Democrats.” The Democrats are easy to spot and wouldn’t be listened to, but those infiltrators are much more dangerous and need to be found and dealt with quickly. #politics

Guess they wanted to prevent a next-term abortion for the GOP in AZ. On the plus side, it did take less than 9 months...
