So this is assuming that one can buy a galaxy that is already populated by beings. Talk about proliferating, stealing land from other peoples on other worlds and in galaxies that are not ours.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov I'm about ready to vote for an independent candidate. Why are you voting for SAVE the ACT... The bill it was in should be voted no on and the bills separated. Are you a Republican or for WA?

Time to call Glusenkamp Perez and Jared Golden. They voted with republicans on a rule in the House to advance 4 bills including the SAVE act. Turncoats need to be called out.

🚨 MAIL VOTING A judge rules Thursday. Then it gets appealed. Then it goes back up. Meanwhile ballots are already in the mail in some states. Congress can end this in a week. They won't unless you ask: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

NEWS: Republican Senators are furious as constituents are flooding their offices with messages demanding the war in Iran ends. It comes as Congress is demanding answers over horrific troop conditions, and I publish more messages exposing the conditions. Trump makes it easier to launder money.

America can begin to restore sanity only by starting to remove the cancer of conservatism and the filth of the GOP. #GOP must go. #GOPmustGO
Graphic of the American flag...
The red stripes have been replaced with flames. 
The white stripes contain black sans-serif letters: 
"Being in the GOP tells the world you're fine with
racism, fascism, sadism  greed, pedophilia, and
treason."

Wishing you a peaceful and kind May 🐾🤍
A soft, four-panel illustration of a fluffy black cat with big expressive eyes, sitting on green grass against a pastel sky that shifts between pink, blue, and purple. The text across the panels reads: “I wish your May is full of peace inside.” In the final panel, the cat closes its eyes gently, with a small red heart near it.

Notice that the Trump regime is not just blaming one violent person for what happened Saturday night. It’s blaming 8 million peaceful “No Kings” protesters as well as you and me posting peacefully on social media. Trump isn't opposed to violence. He's opposed to resistance.
