Can We The People request an Article 5 from NATO?

America is under attack. The capture of our government & institutions is far along in the process while the captures are attacking sovereign countries, including plans to attack our own allies to benefit our adversaries.

Revolution is calling.

This is pathetic. Your GOP reps need to get yelled at about how insulting this is, and how no one is being fooled.

Eventually there will be no more Putin or no more Russians, whichever comes first.
December was the first month Russian battlefield losses matched Moscow's recruitment, says Ukraine's commander-in-chief Syrskyi.

He credits expanded drone use - 339,000 UAV missions that month, with targets hit up 31%.

Insomnia and anxiety/depression/ADD got the better of me again and I didn't really manage to sleep well over the course of last night. Narcolepsy/sleep deficit kicked in around 11. I've got a shift from 5-11 and am exhausted and a ball of nerves. 🫩

I need something to get better, desperately. 😮‍💨

This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.
“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”

Monstrously cruel.

MRW I remember it's the 6th anniversary of the January 6th coup attempt by Herr Shitler and the oligarchy. A coup that has been on-going and for lack of courage and loyalty to this country by the SCOTUS, Congress and our military/intelligence agencies, succeeding.
