Saw taking our taxes to fund corporate investment..? How may years before they defraud certain accounts due to political opposition or ethnic background (sorry residential differences)?
And do they mean EVERY child born in the U.S. because they claim not all those babies will be citizens.

This president stay beeaking the law BECAUSE he’s a 34x convicted felon. He is literally the criminal in chief. Remind anyone who is shocked that he takes yet another illegal/unconstitutional action.

Two things can be true: the invitation got lost in the mail AND they didn’t want you there.

They didn’t want you there AND you are welcome elsewhere.

You are welcome elsewhere AND you are fine staying home.

You are fine staying home AND you feel good being invited.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Saw an example of how public restrooms are all already trans - a dad taking his daughter into the designated “men’s” room at the library. Between that and changing tables, there are regularly moments when multiple genders are indeed present simultaneously with no one concerned at all.

Dandruff hasn’t seen A Few Good Men, I’m guessing
a man in a suit and tie says " i want the truth "
Alt: Across top in still photo - Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men says "i want the truth”. Bottom in video - Jack Nicholson saying “You can’t handle the truth!”

So, it seems like dismantling the department of education is a “just because we want to” operation but this department channels funds and policy that protects students from academic disenfranchisement. Turning schools into labor training camps is wild (sad that may not be an exaggeration).

Love your disabled kin while we're here.

Don't cross a picket line.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

As the executioner’s blade falls, do we rush to add our hand to axe? Do we say, the head will sever anyway, so I am not to blame?

Wherefore is our justice if we are unable to place our own body to prevent the cleave? Can I feel my own blood pumping though it drains from the veins of my kin?
