The President is actively dying right next to his team of simps yelling about what a Big Strong Leader Man he is. Just sitting there, eyes closed, croaking in front of our eyes.

Leavitt’s citizenship comments clash with SCOTUS
Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country.”
The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.

The coverage about British and American troops committing war crimes with impunity in Afghanistan has been non-existent in the mainstream press unlike the shooting last week.
This is nothing but Islamophobia and the dehumanization of people in predominantly Muslim majority countries.
