that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation
I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

A pro-Israeli mob was filmed harassing a woman in NYC-chanting ‘Death to Arabs’-shoving & throwing objects at her as police...escorted her away. The men seem to believe she was part of a pro-Palestinian protest ... it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuY2...
