Notice how there's no response from Trump, Rubio or any other US leader to Putin's temper tantrum... which is not even being reported in major US media.

I think the thing about mtg’s whole arc right now is that so many people with maga family hope that their loved ones will start saying some of the things she is about all of this. Like, if even MARGE can do it, maybe there’s hope for my brother, father, mother, sister, etc. We need to stop 😔😮‍💨

All the centrists who rushed to fondly eulogize Charlie Kirk should have to read Trump's Reiner post every morning before they get out of bed.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social my ways of resisting: becoming a card carrying member of my town’s Dem committee, going to protests and standouts, calling my electeds, and crocheting a protest blanket! The first two picks are the latest that I am stitching into the full blanket now🤗
