A post from failed real estate agent and local ghoul Chaya Raichik aka LibsOfTikTok targeting me. Text of the post reads:

“Leftist CA State Assembly candidate Chris Kluwe, who promotes the harassment of ICE online, was ARRESTED at a Huntington Beach City Council meeting earlier this year.

Chris was protesting a proposed library plaque that featured a phrase similar to ‘Make America Great Again’

Chris called MAGA a ‘Nazi movement’ before leaving the podium and approaching the council member, where he was grabbed by police and carried out.

This unhinged lunatic wants to be an elected official…”

Thanks for the free advertising, Chaya!

They are only starting to escalate their domestic terror attacks. They will likely continue to do so.

Stay NON-VIOLENT but fuck being peaceful. They don't deserve it.

With No Kings 2.0 coming soon, make a plan to stay safe.

Texas voters will have the final say on spending billions to help address the state’s water crisis. Experts discussed the issue at a Texas Tribune event in Longview.

Exxon made $34 billion in profits in 2024. Yet, they demanded a 50% tax break from the Calhoun County School District to build a $10 billion plastics plant there. A judge struck down the deal.
Exxon has delayed plans to build.
There’s just never enough money to satisfy them.
