They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year.
They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

Russia is a 3rd world country where driver airbags in new cars are optional. The 'accessory' costs a typical Russian's monthly salary. Passenger airbags aren't available for purchase even if you wanted them.
Bank loans for cars are 20% to 45% APR with a massive down payment. 😂

No charges. No evidence. Elsy Noemi Berrios was ripped from her car and her children — accused of being a gang member without proof. This is not justice. This is persecution. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

“The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.”
What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

It is not hyperbole to stress that the Trump regime is on a diabolical mission to abduct all people they deem unwelcome in America — to continue sending them to hell-hole prisons in faraway lands. U.S. citizens very much included.

Medicare Advantage (or DisAdvantage, as I call it) isn’t Medicare — it’s private insurance run by giant corporations that only care about profits.
I wrote to the Trump admin and told them if they’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with Medicare DisAdvantage.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.
They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.
