Attn: My Facebook account has been hacked since early January. A police report was filed. If someone contacts you pretending to be me or sends defamatory or confidential info, it is impersonation and identity theft. I have been harassed several times today about this profile. I thank my stalker.
I post here to provide a perspective about politics that may be accessible to someone who is not as knowledgeable. However, I have no interest in being terrorized by a man arrested for battery against a LEO or a woman who uses they/them pronouns to dox me on Fakebook. Stalking is a crime.
Stalking Awareness Month | Stalking Awareness & Prevention | SPARC
January 2025 marks the twenty-first annual National Stalking Awareness Month, an annual call to action to recognize and respond to the serious crime of stalking.

When people question my patriotism, I refrain from telling them that my grandfather was a GOP lawmaker or that an ancestor created prominent legislation as a GOP Congressman. While I may be a Dem, I believe in American ideals like freedom of speech. We do not need to relive the McCarty Era.

I would recommend that the administration consider better messaging. Past Republican presidents like George W Bush and Ronald Reagan projected optimism about the promise of the American Dream. This administration is promoting American carnage. It does not resonate as well with the general public.

Today, another woman felt the need to tell me that I had made a grave mistake about speaking out against this administration. I have an issue with the policies that are being implemented. Do I want to see people abduct off the street? No. Political speech is protected under the First Amendment.
Why Is Political Speech the Most Protected?
Explore the legal framework that gives speech about public affairs its elevated status and defines its essential function within a democratic society.

Lastly, to the two individuals who have been stalking me, find a new hobby. My name is not Breztri. I am not a COPD med. Furthermore, I have heard an antisemitic slur used several times in my presence. I will report you to the ADL. I am sorry that your lives are so pathetic. Move on and grow up.

According to an expert with the Brennan Center, the administration has NOT satisfied the conditions to invoke the Insurrection Act because agents of the federal government have contributed to the violence in MN. This situation is not the LA riots or the enforcement of civil rights laws in the 1960’s
Insurrection Act: How it's been used and what Trump wants to do with it
Donald Trump would not be the first president to invoke the Insurrection Act, as he has now threatened to do as a way to send U.S. military forces to Minnesota.

Attn: America - Your tax dollars are being used to employ mercenaries who are now harassing, assaulting, abducting and killing US citizens. Call your member of Congress or email them. They do not deserve additional funds to engage in this campaign of terror.
by @democraticwins.bsky.social CNN just aired a devastating compilation of all the times ICE brutally attacked Americans. Remember, Donald Trump sponsored this. This is done at his command.

As a Maine resident who lives in one of the impacted cities, I am grateful to Gov. Mills for asserting that our civil rights and liberties should be protected. However, I think anyone who is not Caucasian and Christian is concerned about what will transpire with these storm troopers.
WATCH: "If they plan to engage in provocative actions, if they plan to deprive people of civil rights, civil liberties on our streets, and our cities and towns, they're not welcome here. Those tactics are not welcome," says Gov. Janet Mills as Maine braces for new ICE operations.

This is a sad commentary on global affairs when NATO needs to deploy member countries to Greenland to protect it from the U.S. I don’t think the majority of us envisioned this scenario a year ago.

The joint NATO exercise comes shortly after tense talks between officials representing the U.S., Denmark and Greenland.

A person felt the need to remind me of a former abuser today. She was praising this person. Then, she disparaged me. Charismatic abusers can manipulate others to think they are a saint while their victim is satan. However, survivors learn from advocates about gas lighting and victim blaming.

Individuals should not live in a state of fear that they are going to be subjected to violence for disagreeing with the party in power. I am reminder of Hobbes’ Leviathan in which a political leader feels the need to possess complete control of a society. Leaders who are feared are not respected.

Yesterday, residents of the state of Maine were informed that the administration plans to invade Portland and Lewiston next week. Today, when I was conducting a search on Bing about the EPA, I received Air Arabia results. My mother’s family had Italian relatives who work for Interpol. Bleep off.

The ICC investigates human rights abuses and crimes against humanity across the globe. The administration is punishing them by eliminating access to U.S. companies. No other administration has interfered with the work of the ICC to this extent. We used to promote the protection of human rights.

If you are new to living under fascism, here is your reminder. The First Amendment does not exist under authoritarian rule. Fascism survives by crushing dissent, silencing critics, and punishing speech. It always starts with you.

G-d forbid if anyone questions the association between dear leader and a convicted sex trafficker who was his BFF for many years. People don’t like when minors are harmed and violated. That is an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). Protect the victims not the perpetrators or enablers of such crimes.

A few extra minutes of sleep per night, plus a few more vegetables or grains and a little bit more exercise per day, can go a long way to improve health and longevity.

How much you want to bet that Trump is still running "inner-mind" video on endless loop (that he can't stop) of that courageous soul calling him the "pedophile protector"?

I know I am...and I bust out laughing about every 15-20 minutes...because of it.

Talk about the hypocrisy…
📌The America-attacking Trump using masked gunman to shoot innocent people in our streets, littering our cities with troops, and then calling on Tehran to stop killing protestors is nuclear-powered gaslighting, and I don't know how our goddamn media reports on it with a straight face.
