I simply NEVER want to hear any of the following from any Democrat ever again:

Can someone explain why MAGA is still always so mad?
They have The House. They have The Senate. They have the Presidency. They have the Supreme Court. They prevented their guy from going to prison. They rolled back women’s rights. Everyone is getting deported.
What more do they need?

🌳 Colombia has become the first country to declare its entire Amazon region off limits to large-scale mining and hydrocarbons.
The decision protects nearly half a million square kilometers of the Colombian Amazon, reaffirming that for Colombia, life is above any extractive model.

This move allows them to attack higher education, target female students, and significantly hurt a profession that allows women to earn a middle class salary. Fascism and patriarchy have always been two sides of the same coin.

“… 'La Lotería' comments on topics including immigration, and criticizes President Donald Trump’s criminal past w/lyrics like 'El diablo ya lo mandan a la corte' (They’re even sending the devil to court), and 'Nuestra gente se rebela en estos tiempos' (Our people are rebelling in these times).”
Los Tigres Del Norte are icons for a reason.
