Until proven otherwise, I assume the unhinged insurrectionists, sympathizers, and ICE are the same cronies.

Keeping faith: bad guys DON'T win.

We, decent people, outnumber them. We ARE strong when we stick together! Hopefully, we prove it and they're held accountable (with help from our friends).

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

This is why saying "but both sides..." is lazy since we know those with integrity hold themselves and each other accountable.

Bad apples spoil the bunch
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

I needed a smile and hope this is genuine so other judges (or people in similar situations) continue to do the right thing. Becoming a naturalized citizen isn't as easy as some folks pretend it is.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.

Know the truth.

Sometimes I wonder if I have poor reading comprehension skills... it is more likely my brain performing a double take to make logic of the nonsensical.
The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

Most of us probably figured that the manpower reassigned (waste) was to redact/protect perpetrators and NOT the victims.

Someone recommended including a space after a name ("name ") if anyone wants to search (ctrl+f) for how many mentions are in the document.
Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.
