The poll in the WSJ that kicked off the entire "Joe is too old" narrative was conducted by a guy who works for a Trump Super Pac that paid him $567,000 in 2023, with close ties to Paul Manafort. Oh and he’s a former Trump 2016 Campaign staffer. newrepublic.com/post/175387/...

That Big Poll Showing Trump and Biden Are Evenly Matched? Trump Helped Pay for It.newrepublic.com The Wall Street Journal poll is being cited in all the mainstream media outlets, with no caveat that Donald Trump’s Super PAC paid one of the pollsters.

Remember that first month in January 2017 when the Muslim ban went into effect and all those lawyers swarmed the airports across the country? All of those lawyers will be arrested in January 2025. Again, I am dead ass. I don't think people understand how bad it will get.

Hate speech against the trans community - or any other - should be responded to forcefully. Over obsessing on relatively rare and niche medical or sports debates is often a cover for bigotry and I hate to see my colleagues do it.

So, my fellow transes in Americaland, I am a military vet. I get my care thru the VA (US Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare) & Trump is promising to end (ban) all federal funding for all trans care, which includes the VA. That means many trans vets will need new heathcare options...1/2

Please use alt text, thank you!

i can’t keep up with the alt4me feed. i’m over a week behind. my hands hurt and i’m worn out from the uptick in requests, and if i take a couple days off, i fall even more behind. i’m glad people are suggesting others use the tag, but i would really appreciate some help.

“They just want things to go back to the way they used to be.” “We’re racist.” “They just want a little less immigration.” “Actually, we’d like to catapult all non-white people into the sun.”

I've seen a lot of one-offs of people holding these signs, but what is truly chilling is a sea of these being held up by delegates.
