Sorry ass sons a bitches.
Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

I can see on my personal residential electric bill that it has gone up ELEVEN PERCENT in 9 months. At this rate, my electric bill will be (w/ compounding) almost double at the end of his term. That's an insane amount of inflation.
