I don't have skin in the Texas game but for my part, this woman speaks plainly and truthfully. Everything she says makes sense to me. If you listen to this, you will nod along, ESPECIALLY when she says the problem isn't so much the criminals (primarily Trump) but those *who protect criminals*.
They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I guess one thing about being a pro wrestling fan is you know how bullshit YouTube numbers are. The Turning Point halftime got 5 million global views, that *DOES NOT* mean 5 million people watched it. Media lacks experts & it's causing them to publish false information.
