Backlash against Trump & Elon from his voters is very real, folks. This is just 1 story out of Parkersburg, WV; a state in which Trump won w/70% of the vote. His voters even joined Democrats in protest. It’s only 1 loc & group amidst the myriad of issues. Momentum. ✨ www.reuters.com/world/us/dog...

For anyone who’s still on the fence about their Thanksgiving planning… “Extremely likely” sounds like a nightmare, trying to think of what would work best for shoving in one’s ears. Stuffing? Potatoes? Gravy? Ooh, the tiny marshmallows on yams? Cranberries? Hm. String beans?! Oh! Dinner rolls!? 😃😆

I often think about the potential regret of 🍊 voters as his authoritarian fascist dictatorial admin takes hold. This is an excellent 🧵 for anyone else pondering the same. “Regret w/redemption” isn’t a term I’ve heard before but do keep faith there’ll be enough outrage for this to transpire in many.

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link. For example x.com/dril/status/... becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/... People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

It’s getting bumpier & bumpier. Military assets? Can’t wait to see how the military community & its supporters will respond to this news, esp the 🍊-voters. I know many will rationalize it away but I hope deep down it’s at least sparked a pilot light w/in them that’s akin to: “Hm, idk about this…” 🧐🤔

Political cartoon showing Trump really struggling to swing a giant hammer to hammer some square pegs which are labeled with his new administration appointments into an array round holes on the ground. The square pegs are labeled Rubio, Huckabee, Noem, Hegseth, Gaetz, and are scattered about next to Trump as he is show leaping into the air with his head thrown back and perspiring with a grimace while he tries to hammer in Rubio’s square peg into one of the holes in the ground.

We did, Ms. Butler. We did. 💙💔 My hope is that Trump supporters will realize they sold themselves out and will help us fight back. My feeling is many of them are likely to be feeling some pings of regret already and these very wise words tell the story of what’s to come. But it will take some time….
Quote from Octavia Butler: “Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a good us to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”
