Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

When we recarve Stone Mountain as a WPA project during Reconstruction 2, it’s possible we’ll have the Governor up there as one of the Re-Founders.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 5d

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5d

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

Wouldn’t it be great if we’d never heard of tRump?!

I went through one of these as a kid when we lost our home, and it was just devastating. So awful that the government did so much for kids in poverty during Covid but is actively harming families now.

US bankruptcies have already exceeded 2020 levels.
