Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times

They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti

They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children

They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally

The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid

They should be abolished

They stole the election,
They're eating dogs and cats,
He has the greatest ever economy,
He's the world's greatest president,
Now he says voter fraud is rampant,
None of his lies make any sense,
Every claim he makes,
He has zero evidence

This isn’t just against Army policy. It’s incredibly gross. When you enlist, you’re a captive audience. This is why previous Presidents have been circumspect here: they get it. Trump does not. Forcing people by exploiting power is how he’s always operated. He has no capacity for empathy or honor

Education and critical thinking are anathema to a political movement built on and sustained by lies and deception.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

“Maybe a better way to look at this is ‘people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added.

Right. This will protect you from a novel pathogen.🤦‍♂️

I wish Kristi Noem had as much passion for Homeland Security as she has passion for Corey Lewandowski.

Keeping Americans safe? She’s murdering them.

Helping TX flood victims? She's deserting them.

Doing her job? She's making $200M cowgirl horseback movies.

This makes us ALL less safe.

The intelligence whistleblower complaint Tulsi Gabbard is covering up concerns Jared Kushner.

Just an intercept of Middle Eastern officials gossiping on who has influence, says Gabbard’s office.

Also, she informed the White House but kept it from Congress. No one else can see it. For, uh, reasons.
