There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.
It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.
All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Murder. Believe your eyes - not their lies. He went to help the woman and was murdered by ICE agents. US Citizen. 37 year old ER Nurse.
Thank you to everyone who worked hard to preserve this video. It shows ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse. Watch, save, and share. 💔

The average ICE agent makes $100k a year, in some cases without a high school diploma, to roam our streets lawlessly terrorizing people. Meanwhile, law abiding American citizens are trying to figure out how they pay for healthcare and groceries at the same time.

Like I told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle - Ryan Zinke should be scared. He stood back and let his party bosses gut our public land agencies. If he’s going to come after my coworkers’ jobs, I’m going to take his.

Identify this man. Make him famous.
Face of “domestic terrorist” who shot unarmed Renee Good in cold blood.
FOX earlier reported that the deceased had run him over & he was recovering in hospital.
Strange how video coverage shows an entirely different story.
FOX misinformation together with animal killer Noem should be DAMNED

Call them. Not because republicans will change. But because they need to know we are all still here - and we aren’t going away.
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?
