Odd, how Laura Loomer has to speculate about what Hell must be like, whereas anyone who has ever had to spend time with her does not.

They do not understand, that the climate change will turn so many sites in no go areas. No human being could live there anymore. Water, drought, storms, fire.

And they will lose everything. This was just the beginning.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

They have to have a backup plan to the "dangerous immigrants" narrative. They have one. They've literally created a "terrorist group" out of thin air. I mean, you can't be having free and fair elections with "enemies from within," like the "Antifa Terrorist" group running around. It's a pretext.

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.
