Did you think of those children—
Hiding under desks

In closets & bathrooms—
Trembling with fear

As bullets rang out
From hall to hall

All while you screamed
“Not the CEO”
He was a family man

But tweeted—
Thoughts & prayers
With one hand

& gripped your Gun
in the other

It’s hard when the rejections come in more often and quicker than the requests.

Still manifesting the positive agent replies.

DCCC is targeting 3 Ohio GOP Reps for defeat in 2026

• Max Miller #OH07
• Mike Turner #OH10
• Mike Carey #OH15

These reps don't seem to respond to calls or emails from constituents so maybe try their chiefs of staff (post below)

Habitat for Humanity.

For fucks sake.
The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

FBI ordered Citibank to freeze the group bank's accounts.

Protests are not illegal. Blocking them is. Don’t let Trump trick you, and read the damn constitution.
Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes

So tell me how this is pro-life, I’ll wait.
