O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.

I would mention libraries, but…

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I'm hoping to add these magnetic cubes to my PreK classroom🧲 They're great hands-on materials that we can use for math skills like counting, patterning, & sorting, and early literacy skills like counting syllables & building compound words. Anyone who can help us out?🫶🏻 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Shero restaurant owner standing up to ICE, refusing to be intimidated by agents hiding behind a mask. The courage on display is powerful, and it shows that ordinary people can still speak out when they see injustice happening right in front of them.

Every American should be this angry, unless you are the super wealthy or a kiss ass of the super wealthy.

No…the wealthy ARE NOT going to like you because you kiss their ass.
They think you are just a laughable chump for Trump.
