For years, MLK Day and Juneteenth were fee-free days in National Parks. Now?
They are no longer free.
What was added instead?
Flag Day -June 14-Trump’s birthday.
You don’t have to erase a holiday to undermine its meaning
You just make it harder to participate

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t

And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

By the way they put out the cell phone video that the shooter was holding WHILE he shot her, because they know it’s incriminating and they think they can control the narrative by releasing it and saying “it proves our side.”

This is what state-regime media looks like.

CBS News ran a segment gushing over Rubio — calling this his “moment" and saying: “Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you! You are the ultimate Florida Man!”

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.
