Dear online retailers of America (and everywhere else): If you're going to eternally spam my email and endlessly text my phone no matter how many times I hit "unsubscribe", I'm LESS likely to order from anyone other than Amazon again. Ever.

🚨Palm Beach County Republicans just endorsed MAGA Mike Caruso in their GOP voter guide on Instagram. That’s the same Mike Caruso arrested in August on five felony charges, including lewd or lascivious m*lestation, over the alleged abuse of HIS OWN GRANDSON. Caruso has refused to suspends his campaign and says he intends to win his race. The Palm Beach County Republican Party says it has a duty to campaign for nominees. Protecting kids apparently comes second to keeping a seat. Where is the outrage?

Vote out every single Republican who is up for election; we need to tie up Trump's tiny, unstable hands from doing any more damage to our country and indeed, to the world. Vote Blue no matter who! 🌊🗳️🇺🇸

Donald Trump is the first and only president in U.S. history with felony convictions. Elect a convict. Expect the crimes. Repost if you agree 👍

We have been trying to get annual shots. Tough to do when you are living out of a suitcase and out of town. Pharmacist said they were talking walk-ins so I requested COVID and flu vaccines. So, when am I supposed to see the effects of Autism?
