The propaganda is strong.

Antifa is a made-up name for anyone that isn’t republican, strives for true freedom, democracy, equal rights & inclusion for all.

Unfortunately, when you keep repeating a lie, people believe it.

An example of parties coming together to do the right thing to protect their country, despite the politics.

It is a shame that they had to oust their first female leader, though.

The nomination deadline for the #NobelPeacePrize for 2025 was on 31 January.

No matter how many nominations Trump had lately, The Nobel Committee followed the rules, and refused to bend them for Trump.

So he can whine all he wants, he was not eligible this year (or deserving). 2026 though… 🤷‍♂️
