People need to start preparing as this is only going to get worse. I would highly suggest people stop spending money outside of basic necessities.

During the middle of the night right in Chicago, with no warrants, presented, everyone in the building was taken outside and zip tied, including toddlers, after they were separated from their parents. This is vile and disgusting and if you think that this is acceptable, you need to seek help.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

12 people all found in the bayous of Houston in the last year, five within five days last week, all people of color. Coincidence? The local police seem to think so, do you?
