This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.
These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.
They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".

Last night, President Trump bombed another civilian boat in international waters, killing 4 more people and bringing the death toll of his illegal boat strikes to 99.
These murders violate U.S. and international law and must be stopped.

Pete Hegseth and trump wanted to be pirates when they grew up and now the US is a literal pirate state, seizing oil tankers in international waters, despite the US having become energy independent and the biggest exporter of oil, globally, under Biden. This is the dumbest timeline imaginable. WTF.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Please read every word of this article, and please pass it on. We need to understand the day to day reality of what’s happening, and know how to help. It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is under occupation, and we are in the beginning stages of another Underground Railroad.
