There’s more evidence that Trump was involved in child trafficking than there is that the men on the boats he bombed at sea were drug traffickers. #Trump

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

No more pork barrelling either

When all of these cruel people are up for re-election, these tweets need to be on every single campaign flier by their opponent.

“inconsistent or absent messaging erodes awareness, loyalty, and perceived quality. For #libraries erosion isn’t just theoretical — it’s tangible… reduced funding, waning political support, and disengaged communities asking “why do we still need libraries?” hohkyo.medium.com/why-librarie...
