So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?

Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

This is Alex Pretti, the man the pedophile admin called a "domestic terrorist."

Here he is reading the final honors, honoring a soldier who had passed away at the hospital he was a nurse at.

We will not let the right tarnish his reputation!!

100% agreed. There needs to be a lot of accountability. Even if it takes years and years, it’s for the history’s annals

I was just sent this screenshot.

The regime is using its own government-sponsored violence to try to gain access to Minnesota's voting rolls.

They've taken a state hostage and essentially said "Give us your voter rolls, or the shootings continue."

It is important to know that despite its prominence TikTok loses billions of dollars and tweaking algorithms lays havoc to your ad sales. Oracle is gonna destroy this thing and it’s going to combine with the data center debt and consume it whole

There have been 3 homicides in Minneapolis this year. Trump’s agents committed two of them: a mom and a nurse who cared for our Veterans.

Stay the hell out of our cities.

TikTok went from promoting anti-Democratic Party content during the 2024 election to censoring anti-Trump content in 2026 after Trump loyalist Larry Ellison's Oracle purchased an 80 % stake.

You can get shot standing in the street with a phone or trying to help someone. You be a legal asylum seeker and have your child kidnapped from school. You can also still die from pregnancy complications. America!
Women who enter pregnancy with chronic conditions are at an elevated risk of long-term complications and, in some cases, death.

For those who live in states that have banned abortion, their options are now severely limited.
Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

I love how they went from "Guns Don't Kill People" to "A Gun Can Kill People Even If You Don't Use It!"
Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.

Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever

Bessent: But he brought a gun!

Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.
