Trust is fragile, when lies and incompetent cruelty continue to mount.
Where is congress?
How many who believe in reasonable #immigration reforms will be turned against #law enforcement, when they need support?
Sad.

Please share. Understand how the threat to #democracy is real. From removing historical monuments about black soldiers to intimidation. To controling interest rates for the ones own benefit or to enrich oligarchs.

Watch this investigative video. Look at what is really going on behind the real tactics of an undisciplined military type use of force without real probable cause. Cruelty and injury is their plan. Why is nothing done? No accountability. Share

A font change is overturned by Rubio as being too woke.

The change was to improve vision accessibility for #disabilities

What does anti #woke even mean ? political grandstanding -whites only ?

Quote on pardons and corruption by trump

This isn’t forgiveness: it’s instruction. It’s an explicit message to present and future loyalists that when they commit crimes for him, particularly those involving election or financial fraud, they’ll be rewarded rather than punished.
