"Here’s the truth: centrism’s failings are not the end of the story. Their strategies have failed time and time again. This has only made people hungrier for real change, for universal healthcare, for less inequality, and for accountability"

This channel is promoting what it calls the purple revolution where supposed MAGAt converts leave the cult and join the left against Orangina.

I had a hard time buying this narrative before. Now im convinced this is a fauxgressive channel. Beware. This is a Jimmy Dore type channel. Bait and switch

They're shooting real Christians. Sue the fuck out of Gestapo and charge the individual Gestapo goons with assault with a deadly weapon and any other applicable charges.

I dont recall there being a clause in the constitution or a law requiring family attendance in order to be sworn into office.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

The Return of Liberty
-Thomas E DeCaulp-

Too much pain
Too much evil
Power and control
Are the enemy Of freedom

Do not look away
Its easy to do
When you turn a blind eye
You are guilty too

The world can be changed
By a million small acts
Of love and kindness

Do unto others
The ancients have taught
As you would want done unto you

Even when you are the injured
Do not despair
The oppressor will always meet failure

Resistance is key to defeat a king
The coming revolution
Need not be violent

Keep moving forward
in solidarity
It cannot be stopped
The return of liberty

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.”

This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

As a person who twice barely avoided getting kidnapped and sent to conversion therapy by my own family members it is very disheartening to hear that conversion therapy is still being discussed. Last i checked the only thing it converts is living kids to dead ones.

I was in a Kansas bookstore yesterday, and two women in front of me were discussing the Kansas Eisenhower Museum Director who refused to give Trump a sword from the museum and was fired.

They were appalled, and it became a conversation between several others in line. The news is getting out…

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

"Forgive and Forget or Burn it All Down?"-Thomas E DeCaulp-

Split picture.
Left half a burning battle field
Right half a field of flowers and green trees
Center a silhouette of a soldier.

Critical thinking’s not always prioritized
But first and foremost
It is paramount
Our convictions, we must not compromise

Basic humanity is not negotiable
Nor decency to be jettisoned

To defeat this fascist regime
We must unite
Before the constitution was written
The colonies had to fight

They fought to be free
From a mad king
The yesrs since then
Count two hundred and fifty

One hundred and sixty years have passed
Since my two great great grandfathers fought
One for the Union,
an officer in an African American unit
The other a Confederate before he deserted
Their children married each other

One part of me feels
We should forgive and forget
The other part whispers
Burn it all down

Forward or backwards, not left or right
Three hundred forty million must decide
The direction our country rides

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice
