The winner of that race, Donald “Buz” Lukens, represented the 8th District of Ohio in the late 1980s. He resigned after being charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He slept with a 16-year-old girl.

He was followed in office by John Boehner.

Neoliberalism requires that police arrest you for not expressing your first amendment rights at the correct time while fascists wage a terror campaign around them.

notice how—even in the midst of all that—the border patrol agent is worried about his mask falling down.

as witnesses scream that the person is an american citizen, the agent can be heard barking, “then why are you running?”

they’re terrorizing communities all over chicagoland like this.

I need ppl to understand that no matter how well meaning someone running as a democrat is, when they are absorbed and become somewhat dependent on the party, they will make concessions and use language they provide etc
