Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first strike down.~ Frederick Douglass. #Freespech

What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨

Ironically, Charlie Kirk, a former spewer of ugly critical race theory disinformation, was assassinated in one of the whitest states in America.

I learned today, of all days, that RFK took the NY bar exam three times before he passed it. He’s a medical charlatan and a bottom draw attorney to boot.

Why is the orange clown gangster idiot always surrounded by his nefarious henchmen, his fawning tax paid audience?
President Trump, speaking at a news conference, said he was planning to send the National Guard to Chicago. Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois said the state was ready to fight the Trump administration’s plan in court. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/u...

Pritzker: Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next

Shout out to mayor Brandon Johnson for spotlighting Red states Mississippi, Louisiana, and Indiana for being notorious gun runners. Chicago is a big city, but they don’t make guns there.
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

DUPED In AMERICA released today, is a timely thriller about the country’s anomalous social changes; one family, two brothers, one of them destructively influenced by Trump’s machinations. Not a hint of Epstein in the book.

Yes, but TV seemed to always show her upbeat and cheerful. The country just wasn’t ready for that and her skin is brown to boot.
Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo.
Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

“I could know about it.” Translated, he’s saying, I could be an orange clown gangster Idiot. Yes, Yes, you are that and only that.
For the record, the president isn’t the chief law enforcement officer. Also, this is how mafia states are run and he, as usual gives away the game. He says he tells them he “doesn’t want to know about it,” but they get the message. Do what it takes to please Dear Leader. So it happens.
Trump on FBI raiding Bolton's house: "I could know about it. I could be the one starting it. I'm actually the chief law enforcement officer."

Trump is a dictator clawing to control everything.
But our voices are getting louder, as more and more folks are rising up, speaking out, and refusing to back down. The great news I have for you today is proof of that.
