Intelligence work. Liberal. In JUNE the SCOTUS may try to make black/brown/liberal VOTES INSIGNIFICANT FOREVER. This has to be stopped by everyone who wants a democracy. Peaceful resistance and civil disobedience are required. Hope it is good to know ya.
Pinned
Let the sun rise. Let the light shine bright and final on the cretins in the shadows, creeping about planning to kill billions, feeling superior with their brief hold of power. In June, the Supreme Court may gut the voting rights act. Black, brown, yellow, liberal, voters will be useless. BEWARE

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.
Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Well, that is ridiculous. But what isn't in Trump land?
Well, it only took several decades, a mountain of student debt tall enough to brush the troposphere, and a generation of graduates discovering their “dream career” comes with a $900 rent in their parents’ basement
Poll: In a dramatic shift, Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost
The latest NBC News poll shows two-thirds of registered voters down on the value proposition of a degree. A majority said degrees were worth the cost a dozen years ago.

This is what set off the horrific murder, and wounding of National Guard Soldiers in Washington, DC. He was told, by our president, he and his people were going to be sent back to Afghanistan. He was a CIA killer, and like these others, would have been tortured and jailed at best, or killed.
By this logic, young white men born in the United States, who make up the large majority of the nutters who decide to shoot strangers, should all be deported. This is racist nonsense, supreme stupid, patently cruel and insane. We are living under a disgusting, criminal regime.

Let alone, as this week tragically showed us, they expose the National Guard to CIA killers, who just found out that they and all they fought for might end with his people being given to people who will torture and kill their entire family.
I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer
