Old fat white dude. Trying to come to terms with living in a country that is 50% willfully ignorant and hateful. Proud atheist becoming more and more anti religion (faith/belief is a slightly different conversation). Nullius in verba

I wont stand for the Natnl Anthem again until the Nazis are out of power.I hope I’m not the only one,but I am willing to be.These people have stolen my country from me and I can’t do much about it.But blowing a whistle,recording their crimes,raising my voice and taking a knee seem the least I can do

I would like for everyone to just take a minute and really think about Ashli Babbitt vs Alex Pretti.Google it to get all the details if you need to.And then see the current administration for the monstrosity and perversion it is.And then call your senators and house member and tell them to stop this

It’s a grift. It’s all a grift. And now it turns out that the main function of The Board of Grift is a real estate development in what used to be Gaza. Stealing land from Palestinians to make Orange Felon and his cronies richer. And everyone signing on wants something from him (like entry to US)

And this is also why no amount of good that is done for them by Dems will ever matter, because it is done for all including all the others.

The majority of Americans are behind you. I have contacted my rep in the House and both my Senators. But I am from a red district in MI and doubt any of the 3 meant to represent me will vote as I wish. Elyssa Slotkin has already said as much.
Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.
ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

I don’t know why we aren’t seeing more of this. Especially in MN and Chicago. The easy answer is the police tacitly support ICE. I hope with all my heart that isn’t true.
THE POLICE STEPPING UP‼️ WOW‼️
MORE OF THIS PLEASE ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
The police have the greatest opportunity for a rebrand here‼️

But it is the behavior of the “keystone ICE”. Just a pack of idiotic incels climbing out of a clown car armed to the teeth.
So ICE apparently abandoned two cars during a protest that were then broken into and were filled with sensitive documents detailing identities and operations? Not exactly the behavior of an occupying force that is "winning."

Everyone needs to read Laura Jadeed’s article in Slate about her trip though the ICE recruiting “process”. It tells you all you need to know about who these thugs are. slate.com/news-and-pol...
You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

So why have I not heard any push back about this? The Secretary of DHS, speaking to the press with an official logo bearing a well known Nazi/white Supremacist slogan that refers to Nazis wiping out an entire village after the death of one German soldier. They aren’t even being coy about it anymore

“My own morality” is not a constitutional check.

He who claims his power is restrained only by himself is rejecting Democracy in plain, direct, clear language.

Again, smart lawyers know that discovery is the way to play with the Orange Idiot. And the list of who is on the lawsuit is pretty impressive. And the last name on the list, Tommy Shelby….. Everyone knows, you don’t fuck with the Peaky Blinders.
Anybody read the latest on Trump’s lawsuit with the Pulitzer Prize Board?
Their recent reply asked for Trump’s tax returns, Psychological records, prescription medication history. 😂
Perfect reply. Basically saying “you’re f’ing crazy”.
