I like to read the bills in the US House and NC House myself rather than rely on the media to tell me what to think about them. It has been revelatory.

The GOP not only voted against this, but they passed HR 2811, Limit, Save, Grow Act, which is a wish list for the oil & gas industry. Check it out for yourself you can find it on congress.gov

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Domestic terrorists, ICE, are attacking anyone, white, brown, black it doesn't matter. Where are the police and the MN National Guard?
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

Great explanation on why the ICE agents was out of bounds on his shooting at Renee's vehicle.
A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.

ICE agents are the domestic terrorists harming our communities. Peaceful protestors are being beaten and detained.
ICE THUGS arrested a pastor & kept asking him "Are you afraid?" numerous occasions. The pastor said NO. Eventually the THUGS let him go stating that "You're WHITE, you're no fun to us!!"
This is how sick & deranged these THUGS are, thanks to this REGIME‼️

Wr need to change the narrative from Republican vs Democrat to working class Americans vs greedy billionaires.
Trump bragging about his $400 million ballroom and getting up to admire the construction site as he meets with oil company executives looking to plunder Venezuela with money from US taxpayers basically sums up this entire admin perfectly.

Politics affect every aspect of our lives.
I will never understand people who say things like, “I don’t do politics.”
Like, okay. You don’t do politics. Politics is still going to decide your rent, your healthcare, your wages, and what happens to your body. Congrats on the illusion of distance.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:
1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work
Let's keep fighting for a better world.
