So “antifa” is really “inflata” and is a bunch of people protesting in blow up costumes.

Tweet from Meidas_Charise Lee: “THIS IS THE COOLEST WAR ZONE EVER! Portland’s strategy… maybe if we act weird enough they’ll leave!”
Attached is a photo of people in colorful inflatable costumes dancing or moving playfully at night.

Yep. It's not the easiest thing to track, but we've been selling farm land and mining rights to already available lands to other countries.

It's caused pervasive water problems with some communities

Next is selling our primo public lands, stripping our mineral reserves to enrich the elite

Thread: If ICE agents are being hired and paid by third-party contracted companies, as has been reported, they are not federal employees. Are they, as mercenaries, eligible for qualified immunity, as federal and local law enforcement personnel are?

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Peacemakers? With guns on a building looking down at unarmed people exercising their right to protest peacefully? UNARMED! Yeah, shooting a priest in the head is peaceful. Not. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Bunch of bullies and cowards. Bet they feel all powerful. Sickening. Pathetic.

Regulate the housing system. We don't need more houses or apartments. It's been proven. There's like 3 empty homes per every American. Houses just need to be more affordable. Stop demolishing the environment with more needless construction.
