WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD. GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility. Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?

Going to the movies by yourself is one of life’s hidden pleasures. Just you and a large popcorn and some sour patch kids and all of your big goblin energy alone in the dark where nobody can see your shame. Priceless.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Please tell me who first posted this so I can properly credit, bc it made me laugh hard this morning

A two panel comic strip.

Panel 1: A light gray human shape (like a thicc stick figure) labelled "THE WEALTHY ELITE" reaches greedily, mouth open in excitement, towards a large floating yellow ball that is labelled "A SECOND GILDED AGE"

Panel 2: same as above, but behind the gray figure (who now has a sweat drop to indicate nervousness on its head) is a VERY large pink blob labelled "THE RETURN OF OUTLAW FOLL HEROES" with one arm wrapped around the gray figure, expression quietly threatening

Seriously train yourself to stop engaging fascists in earnest! It’s not your job to educate them, it won’t work, and it squanders your effort! Use the block button so much your thumb gets bruised. Be vigilant young squadron

people still get up on “well other countries are worse” no actually they’re not. a country that allows solitary confinement is a grotesque place by any human measure and in the piece you can hear Youngkin’s first thought is “we need to run a tighter ship.” The US is a barbaric place and that’s all

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

@vincentdonofrio
Pigs can't look up. But I could pick a pig up one night and raise it into the sky and tilt this pig ever so gentle. I can make sure
this pigs eyes line up with the stars. Imagine seeing the stars 4the first time.l want 2b treated that kindly and
see the stars for the first time.
