I’ll allow it. I think Missy deserves to be in this slot because she makes in innovative, feel good, futuristic music. Though I think she makes better songs, this struck a mainstream cord so I get why it was chosen.

Never forget that 3,000 people or so died on 9/11, and we went to war with someone (not the doers) for like 2 decades.

This is just the children? And it's 6× that amount.

It’s been quite amazing to watch people call on CPD (of all entities) to fight on behalf of the oppressed. There is a reason why we don’t see police leading revolutions. They are a function of the state and will give deference to the feds, as required by law. youtube.com/shorts/WDHFe...

Can local police arrest ICE?
