Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

This man walked into a hospital with a "gunshot wound to the ear". One week later some "doctor" who lost his license to practice medicine in 2020 said he lost 2cm at the top of his ear. Nobody challenged what a stupid story it was and look where we are.

Fighting fascism from the start. Thank you Canada.
As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores.
This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament.
We fought fascism from day 1.
Don't fuck with us.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.
