I will not obey in advance by censoring myself from saying what is right because they might call me names. WOKE SJW!

I'm tired of nutso oligarchs having crazy amounts of money. Let's tax them into oblivion and redistribute it to ourselves. We have the numbers.
Make no mistake. The only reason they are pulling ice back is because they are trying not to lose the midterms.
If they win, they will likely totally do this crap again.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

I'm not voting 3rd party. That is what helped get us into this mess. Instead, we need to deal with this at the primary level. That is where our real choice is. Once it gets to the general, it is straight democrat with maybe an independent or two.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Third party votes are wasted and helped get us into this mess.
If you want change, get involved at the primary level. That is where the real choice happens. Once it gets to the general, it is straight democrat -with an independent or two maybe.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

I don't like the direction the USA is taking. It seems like we are just overrun by billionaires kicking us at every turn. They are taking all our personal info to extract as much as they can out of us. Mostly I'm tired of the absolute greed.

To my Republican colleagues who know better but remain silent in the face of mounting violence and corruption, I ask this sincerely: why did you come to Congress? Was it to defend the Constitution, the rule of law, and the people you represent, or to look the other way when it becomes inconvenient?

Why are we living this way? We can bring back the de minimum for shipping. We can force google and other companies to be explicit in how our info is gathered, viewed, and being used - more than the mess they do now. We can force them to release what doge did. We can break huge corporations.

WHY THE FUCK did you have that guy on claiming 70% of people deported had 'criminal records' or were 'facing pending charges'. Seeking asylum is not a crime, crossing the boarder is not a crime, having your legal status yanked from under you is not a crime. OMFG
