Born a redhead. Went grey 23 seconds after I realized it didn’t suck. Voting rights AND access. Lift from the bottom, everyone rises. 🚫 DM’s if we don’t know each other.

Many of us come from ancestors who had no choice but to survive in order for us to be here. We know the drill. It’s in our bones.

By the time harm comes 2 those who brought this on, I won’t have feelings to spare. They are reserved for those who knew, and who will be harmed first.

So glad we ended up with Schiff over Porter in the CA seat. He did a good job with Bondi in oversight hearing. Or as good as anyone could do with her.

Everything they say about Democrats is pure projection. Their accusations are confessions. They assume Democrats are thinking, planning, and doing exactly what they would do in that same situation. They cannot fathom that other people aren't as craven, corrupt, and evil as they are.

A tweet by Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) on Twitter:

If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard,
that would be a direct attack on states
rights.

Over the last several years, we've seen
Democrats try to take away our Freedoms
of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't
let them take away our right to defend
ourselves, too.

South Dakota defends the Constitution.

DHS claimed they had arrested 11 people at a "shitshow" Greg Bovino staged on September 27. Only 5 were ever publicly charged (another was a journalist who is suing). Of those 3 cases have been dismissed. [2 got no-billed.]

“It’s about time they started supporting someone.”

Only prejudice would allow you to say this.

The Black and Jewish coalition goes back a long Jews are 2-3% of the US population. Black Jewish people are part of the Black Community.

57% of the US is white & non-Jewish. Go talk down to them.

Redlining applied to Black and Jewish people. College quotas applied to Black and Jewish people. Both groups know they are not considered white. We both know our histories and that Nazi’s used American anti-Black systems (selection processes, work houses, experiments, etc) as their framework.

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

Depends on if you’re one of the friends of Don the Con and rapidly becoming an oligarch, or you’re one of the rest of us…

Kristi R @kdrothschild.bsky.social · 8h

There is so much of this that needs to be taken seriously.

Not that Antifa is a threat. It isn’t. But that the propaganda machine of this country has made it appear to 1) exist 2) as a threat, and 3) to a not insignificant number of the population.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Schiff did a decent job of laying all of her shit back at her feet. But still didn’t get a single answer from her.

Judge Donna Scott Davenport oversaw a juvenile justice system in Rutherford County, TN, with a staggering history of throwing children in jail.

In one case, 11 Black children, as young as 8, were arrested for a crime that doesn't exist.

This made me laugh so hard. Second screenshot is of the video posted by Benny Johnson of the event.

BREAKING: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stares down army of Antifa and a guy in a chicken suit from the rooftop of the ICE facility here in Portland.
Noem says:
"Hey; Guy in the chicken suit. You can do better.
Too bad they are uneducated and ill-informed."
Noem isn't chicken: [chicken emoji]

A view from the roof of the building. There are about 15-20 people visible in total, several of whom appear to be reporters. Most are holding signs. They aren’t even taking up the whole sidewalk. One guy is wearing a chicken suit.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
