Chuck Schumer would like to ask the violent murdering fascists, politely and off-mic, if they’d like to maybe consider possibly following one of the first and most sacred laws of our country? No? Okay, he gives up then, nothing more he can do but start writing them checks

“The city is fallen, and I am still alive.”
Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

on detention as opposed to being able to spend $10 billion
-$20 million that must be used for body cameras 1/

The party of traditional womanhood really pivoted right from “Women are too delicate to use a toilet touched by a Y chromosome” to “Women should immediately obey every order given by any anonymous man in a mask”

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
