#Indiana Legislators are rushing a special session on redistricting: House hearings expected Tues, Dec. 2; Senate hearings on Tues the 9th. They may not allow time for everyone to testify, or may try to shut public comment down altogether. Share your testimony here: secure.ngpvan.com/g2gLE0zNgEWK...
This isn’t normal redistricting after the census — it’s an early, mid-decade power grab to redraw Indiana’s Congressional maps years ahead of schedule so politicians can pick their voters instead of voters choosing their leaders.

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

They voted to confirm him anyway.
Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”

It’s almost as if there were signs!

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

In stead of sending a link to old threads every time someone uses the term "Dark Ages", I decided to put it all in an article.

Let’s talk about sedition and treason, because the most powerful yet inadequate man in the world is having a tantrum about it, and his soulless, spineless sycophants are boosting his message.

Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said.
