At the center of much of Philadelphia’s gun violence is disinvestment in neighborhoods. That includes the closing of schools.

Do Trump and his master goon Stephen Miller who is really in charge of Trump's ICE/Border Control goons still pretend that their militarization of American cities is not about racism, inciting violence, and getting ready to suspend elections next year?

Not only did North Carolinia elect a democratic governor, Charlotte elected a black female mayor and a black male sheriff who stood up to ICE.

This is pure racism and retribution. Trump-GOP-MAGA won't tolerate "uppity" black people.

Republicans HATE our multicultural representative democracy.

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.

But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:
North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

They're trying to raise the next generation of pedophile tolerant, and racist Americans. Even more than we already have. An education system built on Heritage Foundation lies creates people who are loyal to a power structure, over principled in their morality.

#Florida schools are adopting an educational model created by the #HeritageFoundation. This is what indoctrination looks like. Keep an eye on changes to your local education system. Block these developments before their foundations are laid. They will try & roll this out everywhere.

During the shutdown, many theories emerged as to what Republicans were up to. But there was one explanation that I kept hearing from House Democrats: it was all about the Epstein Files. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/it-w...

The order came from Putin. When it all comes out, the Financials will show billions being transferred out of Russia to both Trump and Epstein. Billions of dollars changing hands. Pictures and videos of world leaders being used as konpromat.

This is bigger than what anyone thinks.
