Anyone talking bout "this is illegal" does not understand this enemy. Yt settler colonialists are insatiable parasites that seek only to reproduce their dominance. They do this thru money & power.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

The last thing I'll say is if you're outside of the US—
Look at what's happening as a lesson to take your country/local politics and elections seriously.
The political trends in other countries around the globe are growing more right-wing and are not so far behind what's happening here in the US.

In 1913, 10-year-old Sarah Rector, a Black girl in Oklahoma was given a 160-acre land allotment. While the best farmland was reserved for white settlers, her barren plot struck oil, making her one of the country’s first Black millionaires.

Frfr: Why did so many people have access to hospital beds at home for Grandma and em when I was growing up? Were we just being prescribed the beds and not the medicine and treatment?
