40 Days of Shutdown Pain For Nothing
www.bannedinyourstate.com
When you hurt people by shutting down the government, you owe it to thoss people to make that pain mean something. You harden your heart and play to win or you do not play at all
Playing and giving up halfway through, when the damage is done but nothing is achieved, is rank betrayal

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized

I'm reminded of the James Baldwin quote:
"I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually"
Some peoples love of country is based in nostalgia for the past. Mine is faith in the future.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

So you're telling me that America is making up a story about weapons of mass destruction to justify murdering innocent people for political purposes and control of foreign oil? Idk sounds pretty far-fetched
Is there fentanyl on the boats from Venezuela the Trump administration is blowing up? No. I explain and discuss @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...
