Hi Blue Sky! I'm Alice 👋 I'm a realist and idealist who overthinks every doomsday possibilty to combat anxiety—though it probably makes it worse 🤦♀️
I am a firm supporter of separation of church and state and the slow mixing of the two is something we all have a duty to guard against.

The military is not Trump’s personal militia. The law says troops must refuse unlawful commands. Period.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.
Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

indicates the thief was someone familiar with the dog.

In what would be one of the most corrupt acts of any President, Trump asks the DOJ for $230 million from the lawsuits he was fighting when he became President.
