The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Renee Good should still be here.
She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.
She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.
70% of these donations went to Republicans.
Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.
This is what oligarchy looks like.

There’s a lot to be learned from humanists like Jimmy Carter in a world where people idolize billionaires over people who personally work to change lives. What a blessing! He was truly committed to service and making things better.
Biden: Jimmy Carter lived a life measured not by words, but by his deeds. Just look at his life. He worked to eradicate disease not just at home, but around the world. He forged peace, advanced civil rights, human rights.. He built housing for the homeless with his own hands

On Jan. 19, 1981, Muhammad Ali rushed to a man threatening to jump from a Los Angeles office building. “I’m your brother, I really want to help you,” Ali said. He climbed out, put his arm around him, and led him to safety. Captured by Boris Yaro, the moment showed Ali’s compassion beyond the ring.

Trump won the Electoral College, but winning with less than 50% of the vote is not a landslide, and it certainly doesn’t give him a mandate, especially when he had one of the smallest wins in history.
We can’t let anyone forget that.
