@DeeTwoCents @ElieNYC Well missie, I was following you because I am always glad to see our young people get active - however I don't encourage active stupidity. If you can't see the difference I suggest you visit an eye doctor to check for early onset can't-see-klan-coma. Unfollowed.

12 Get involved. Have you ever been to a local Democratic Party meeting? Do you even know where they are, or who goes? You got beef? Well, put your body where your gripes are and show the fu*k up. Learn some basic civics. Stop demanding “The President” do shit he can’t.

13. Y’all deal with a celebrity view of politics and don’t bother to get into the mechanics of it all. Y’all are demanding microwave instant solutions to a process that is long, tedious and very not glamorous.

Did you know that between the 1930s and the 1970s, approximately one-third of the women of child-bearing age in Puerto Rico were sterilized? If you did not learn this in school, where did you learn it? It has been 1189 days since Puerto Rico had full power.

I wouldn't let Liz Cheney shine my shoes. I voted for Hillary Clinton & I'll be voting for Kamala Harris when the time comes. If Cheney became POTUS she'd go after our voting rights,reproductive rights & she'd attack the LGBTQ community. Tired of seeing this kind of delusional💩

I hope every Puerto Rican on the mainland who can vote in November remembers that Trump wanted to get rid of PR and called Puerto Ricans "dirty." It has been 1067 days since Puerto Rico had full power.

So - I just looked at his twitter account.This 22 yr old has over a million followers. How much money has he raised to get rid of DeathSantis in his home state, to support Val Demings challenge to Rubio and to get young folks to register to vote Rethug gun fanatics out of office?
