You all realize we will have three nominees in 2028 IF WE EVER HAVE ANOTHER ELECTION

An Independent, a Republican and a Democrat

Independents won’t win. Jill Stein will trot back out.

So we are down to two. Anything other than a Democrat vote is a vote to continue what we have now!

FULL STOP!

Pro-voting groups warn that if the Supreme Court rules to strike down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, it could give the GOP at least 19 more U.S. House seats — seats that were directly created by the provision. https://bit.ly/4q7aQ7D

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I heard it was 1800 people

Dawn @dawnyriver.bsky.social · 5h

What do you think they did? Killed them and dumped them in the alligator swamps. Would anyone be surprised?
Come on now! They have been dying to do it

4 Dead, 20 Injured in a South Carolina Bar.
3 shootings in Mississippi leave 6 dead and 10 injured.

And Taco Tits is sending ICE and the Military to Portland and Chicago. Pay attention, people, this isn't about stopping crime, it's about setting up for Martial law and stopping elections.

Do you see where this is headed?

Tweet from Jordan Weissmann: “Asked for an example of a group that had funded a violent protest, Trump named ActBlue and Indivisible, which I think pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the goals here.”
Below is a screenshot of an article excerpt detailing that neither George Soros nor Open Society Foundations fund protests, and noting that the White House named liberal groups like ActBlue and Indivisible in relation to violent incidents.

Good! There was no reason for the arrest

No reason for the way they arrested her

They afforded her no dignity as her pants were coming down.

These fuckers all better go to jail when this shit is over!
