I shouldn't be shocked by anything, but I'm shocked that nobody has figured out a way to put a stop to this.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

A large soldier with a gun labeled "hate" and a giant knight in armor with a sword labeled "hate" look down at a small Pope Leo, saying, "Get a load of Mr. Woke Marxist here." The Pope attempts to shield a mother and two children, and places his small hand out to halt the two larger men from attacking.

This fall, Mainers will decide on a GOP-backed ballot measure that would limit voting access in the state by:
❌Requiring photo ID for mail and in-person voting
❌Eliminating the permanent absentee ballot list
❌Limiting ballot dropboxes to one per town
