🇺🇸"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." - Thomas Paine

Matt Friend is absolutely amazing! If you look away from the video you would swear it’s these people actually talking. Although he also has the facial expressions down pat! What a talented guy!

A little comic relief for a Saturday! 🤣🤣🤣

The disgraceful behavior of legacy media has made supporting independent, pro-democracy media more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations.

Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes.

Protect mail-in voting at all cost.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference.

This is what rising fascism looks like.

LA Protests, aka "LA Music Festival". Because TikTock is doing the Regime's Bidding trying to hide the revolution rising from the streets of the nation. It won't work. The people rise up and topple this tyranny.
