Now there's a good role for a state's national guard. Heading off a potential public health disaster. Seems better than protecting criminal thugs.
Dear Kentucky,
How would y'all feel about swapping governors? I have one I can give you that's barely even been used as a chief executive. Comes with fun accessories, like a $19K lectern and a male companion that sniffs her and doesn't seem to speak.
LMK.

Pope Leo is not mincing words about the “grave crimes” being committed against migrants in certain places.
It’s no wonder the Vatican took a full week to publish this speech in English.
But now they have, and we can spread the message.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.

Today in Kent, Ohio. Yes, THAT Kent.
A psycho Trumper charged into the No Kings rally, throwing punches, assaulted a woman. He was armed. The crowd tackled him.
I considered going to Kent for the protest. It's an hour drive for me. Went to downtown Cleveland instead.
