Reminder.

Department of State is currently violating federal law 31usc5103 legal tender...

Saying ya can't pay cash to get a passport. Ya need a banking app on your phone.

Don't believe me?
Call NPIC and ask if cash is allowed at agencies...as per law.

Record them and sue.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Could We End Corporate Money In Politics?

Backers of a referendum before Montana voters next year believe they’ve found a vulnerability on Citizen United

If your first thought as a reporter when racing to the scene where an invading fed paramilitary of murderous freaks are blanketing yet another neighborhood in chemical weapons after kidnapping people is to count how many objects are thrown at them, just quit. Just quit

CDC = birth certificates.

If ya ever want a passport...or to get out of this abusive nazi country...
...the abusers are taking away your ability to get your documents.

Also.
Department of state and passport agencies are also violating federal law 31usc5103 if you know a good lawyer.

100%

Call the cops.

Report masked people with guns are kidnapping people.
No badge in sight.

Tell the operator you will be FOIAing the report and if they are federal agents... you expect the report to have all names, badge numbers, license plate numbers and matching registration and vin numbers.

Uscis..
The department that makes the certified copies of nationalization and citizenship...
...the nazis fired that department.

So as gestapo screams: "show me your papers" ...gestapo knows that papers aren't getting printed anymore.

Republicans are embarrassing.

If they can't show a badge.
It's kidnapping.

Defend yourself from kidnappers.
Defend others from kidnappers.

Kick those kidnappers.
Scratch out their eyes.
Rear naked choke.
I dont own a gun.. but masked kidnappers are who guns are to shoot... I've been told.

Birth certificates.

Let the common people understand that birth certificates and documents needed for citizenship and passports are what they should be worried about.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️

HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk.

Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

Meanwhile the White House just illegally laid off dozens of CDC researchers and scientists during the shutdown.

Tweet by Dan Pfeiffer: “Anti-vax in the streets, pro-vax in the sheets.”
Below is Kaitlan Collins’ tweet showing a photo of a White House medical memorandum dated October 10, 2025, stating that President Donald Trump received his flu shot and COVID booster at Walter Reed.

Not a single CEO has been arrested.
Not a single hiring manager.

Thousands of 'illegal workers'
Not a single illegal employer.

Weird.
