Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

C’mon, NJ, vote for good governance - Mikie Sherrill

JoeinNJfightsfordemocracy @progavalanche.bsky.social · 1d

First responders like Eddie & the FMBA have stood with Mikie Sherrill from day 1. They know she’s the kind of leader who takes on the toughest fights.

Ciattarelli? He cashed checks from opioid makers & helped spread their lies about addiction. He got paid, NJ suffered!

When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans.
