Your vote hits different in a primary. 🗳️💥 200,000 show up in November. Maybe. But only 40,000 decide who makes it there. Grab 100 friends. Grab 500. The primary is where your vote has outsized impact. Low turnout = high leverage. Stop waiting for the general. Start swinging the election now.

This post is for those who may be going through a tough time, under pressure from all sides and battling depression. Whatever the case may be 🙏🏼 You’re NOT Alone.

Trump is bragging about bombing “drug boats” in the Caribbean. But there’s no proof, no legal basis, and no accountability — just civilians dying for The Great Stunt Queen acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

Trump pardoned the Binance founder, a man who admitted to money laundering; then couldn’t even remember who he was. Said “a lot of people recommended him.” The same guy who called Biden’s pardons illegal now signs off on criminal immunity like he’s ordering room service.

Trump has blustered threats of annihilating Iran after bombing civilians, chronically saying how he obliterated their military. Now, of course, in an appeal for sympathy as the midterms loom near, trump is saying something else. #impeachtrump #dumptrump #war #standup #iran
