We cannot follow message testing to tell us how to fight fascism. The house is burning down, it is time for a firehose. Also our President is senile and should be receiving palliative care, not running the oldest democracy into the ground.

When DC crime is at a 30 year low, most of us would say “keep up the good work.” So I wonder: is there another reason for the administration’s takeover of the DC police force? Epstein files? But voters asked for lower grocery prices. Our gov should use its power to help the people! #TruthBrigade
