Just a dog dad trying to live a better life. More of a socialist than a democrat, but will take what I can get. Everyone deserves to have a good life. Ally to LGBTQ+, BIPOC, sex workers any marginalized community Please no DMs

I have so much to say. I've kept my influence in small circles and near friends. I have fewer friends now and nothing else has changed. The time is coming for me to come out of my shell. I'm sad and angry.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Why so many accounts start following with no profile photo and all the same bio? This is rhetorical, in case you wondered, or if you are human and wonder why I blocked you

I'm getting multiple new followers with the same profile text. I'm blocking them as I notice them. Sorry if some of you are real, but I doubt it.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

One of me mostly MAGA friends that I shared this with laughed. Made me feel like there's hope. He hadn't seen it since FOX doesn't show it.

Am I the only one who thinks the #50501 protests should be done as a toga party? I mean, who doesn't love a toga party, and thinking about Caesar's death, it just seems to work.

Nice uplifting message. More empathy and understanding. While I always hope for everyone to live with love and harmony, disagreements will happen. With more empathy, you disagreement is less likely to turn into hate.

There are many people in our country who will pay for this with their lives, and not by fighting, but by being marginalized because their way of life is not acceptable to a minority that have taken control.

This is not leadership. This is not how you treat people. This is not what our country is about. Spread love and compassion, not this bigoted hate.

Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state, the US should consider becoming an 11th province. Americans would get universal healthcare, parental leave, sensible gun control and fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.

Today in Oversight: Republicans are advancing a bill that would fire all government workers - including Veterans - from offices related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, banning them from being reassigned. How does firing qualified workers and Veterans improve efficiency?
