But her emails!!!
I almost reposted this but did a fact check and he did not. It sounds like he would but, nope.

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?
@aoc.bsky.social
I might love how the new Snow White looks like AOC raging with Ivanka.
Such a cool visual!
This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.
We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Get ready. The days ahead are going to demand good trouble, holy mischief, and civil disobedience.
From @adamgrant.bsky.social … so true re: the function of emotions people are holding in these times.
I was tired when he mocked a reporter with a disability 10 years ago and thought his political career should have ended right then and there. We’ll need to prioritize good sleep, food, exercise, and hobbies if we’re tired for who knows how long.
The VAST majority of Mennonites I know DO vaccinate. DON'T stereotype. Recent Texas measles outbreak is from an isolated, insular group, NOT representative. #measles #Mennonite
This is also a result permissive allowance for under-educating people on the basis of "religious freedom!"
These Trumpy folks are Anabaptists gone wrong but liberal, denominational Mennonites (with Jews and others) are suing the Trump's DHS & ICE. Cult is a strong word re: Mennos but Amish have 8th grade educations, isolate, are patriarchal, and are 100% cult-prone.

And in case you don't know, trans women of color organized the 1969 Stonewall riot

Done
Republicans knew RFK was awful. They ushered him in anyway. Be up to date with immunizations (given avian flu and his antics), esp. respiratory, including flu, COVID, Tdap, and, if applicable, pneumonia and RSV. They should be insurance covered (free) or available at a county health dept.
I’m confident the plain dress conservative Mennos in that photo voted for Trump, but on the whole LIBERAL Mennos have done some badass things.

As an Anabaptist who 100% appreciated the sentiments of @cwebbonline.com and the abusive harms, of isolationist Amish, and how they vote (hardcore Republican/conserv), it’s a valid observation. Many act a whisper away from a Handmaid’s Tale and don’t give a crap about separation of church & state.
It’s no secret that Chair Powell and I disagree on a lot, but today we agreed: without the CFPB, there is no federal regulator making sure giants banks don't cheat you.
Google calendar has removed key cultural events from their site like Pride, Black History Month, Hispanic heritage, indigenous people’s month etc
If this is true, this is a GREAT opportunity for people who work at this massive corporation to fuck with the system
& bring these things back online
& to gum up the works of fascism in other ways
& to prevent other kinds of compliance
& to troll this agenda
Cmon people. Hack on.
Ah, I see the point you were trying to make now. Apples & oranges, future & mind destroying. It isn’t even up for debate. Their educational practices with children are truly negligent and maybe abusive according to many ex-Amish.

A piece of paper clearly doesn’t prove anyone’s character but what they do after obtaining it.
This collaborative lawsuit is 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wis. v. Yoder is the Supreme Court ruling that allows permissive negligence of Amish children to withhold high school education, and later facilitates their voting behavior 🥴
President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.
Did you know that the Amish are the most reliable Republican voting bloc in the US? I wrote about ethnic Anabaptist Trumpism and the racialization of our ecclesial tradition. open.substack.com/pub/melissaf...
And Wisconsin v. Yoder should be overturned. 😬
PROTESTORS at The Department of Labor in D.C. STOPPED Elon Musk and his squad from entering.
#USProtests are the way to stopping #3E It's working.
Don’t look up.
Jk. Eyes wide open.
Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
