Man I hate Horace. When we defeat the fascists we should suppress his poetry and burn his books at rallies. #theoldlie #fuckhorace

I can live with this--I mean I adore Cholula--but I'd somehow feel more relaxed about the mission if Texas Pete was involved.

I'm with @pearlmania500.bsky.social on this, and just as angry—as we all should be. A wife and mom was murdered by an incompetent ICE agent, and the first thing the government does is vilify her—labeling her a domestic terrorist. Do not let this go, America. #EverybodysBlack #ReneeGood 😢
