We need another bigger & louder NOKINGS Day b/c what Trump is doing to Minneapolis, he'll be doing to your city next.

Nobody is safe anymore. Even if you're a U.S. citizen, always carry your identification papers with you.

Voting Trump out is the only way to stop him & bring him to justice.

Mr. “President”, Greenland is not for sale, Greenland is not for war, Greenland is not to be invaded. Greenland is for the Greenlandic people.

So you have been warned Mr. “President”, the American people want the Epstein files, not Greenland.

I love Rep. Melanie Stansbury 😘

JUST IN: Virginia's legislature just adopted a constitutional amendment that would end Virginia's rules that ban people from voting for life.

Virginia currently is the only state that strips people of voting rights for life for any felony. Youngkin rolled back reforms.

Now going to a referendum.
Virginia Lawmakers Ask Voters to Repeal a Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Ban on Voting - Bolts
Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They'll also vote on abortion, gay marriage, and redistricting.

Fear’s a powerful tool. I keep hearing “we have to be careful or he will cancel elections /enact martial law” What does that mean? Let’s break it down. I’m not a lawyer but I can read. Bottom line, he can’t cancel elections & martial law doesn’t seem to be any worse than what’s already happening. /1

Virginia's legislative session only started yesterday, and it was a very big day.

The House already passed four constitutional amendments on Day 1:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.

Next: Senate.

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has passed the constitutional amendment to basically allow Democrats to gerrymander the state, joining the state House.

Next up: voters would have to approve this in a spring referendum for a new map to go into effect.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

#VA-01 voters, it’s time to refresh our knowledge about the Democratic candidates running for Congress who won’t take corporate PAC money.

Their pledge means they’ll work for us, not big money. If we want real change, we need more reps who aren’t compromised by corporations & special interests.

It's great when people thank the people who spread the truth. It really does mean a lot to them and the rest of us. With mainstream media kissing up to the felon, it's hard to know what media to trust.
