Dallas Fort Worth Airport is refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video—because it’s illegal. All airports must follow suit and reject this misuse of public space. No platform for propaganda. No exceptions.

Love Field, DFW Airport won't show video blaming Democrats for government shutdown

North Texas' two largest airports say the video, in which Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem says Democrats "refuse to fund the federal government," goes against their advertising policy.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.
