So far, little coverage of this terrorist attack. Why?
Just doing my part to shine a light here

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kip...
At least two people have been killed in an attack at a U.K. synagogue
The attack took place outside a synagogue in Manchester. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the attack "appalling" and "all the more horrific" for taking place on Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

Congressional Democrats need a bulletproof budget bill plan, and vests. I would help fundraise for bodyguards and bulletproof vests if that’s what Congressional Democrats need to stand up to the GOP thugs.

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters.

That’s how you convert a democracy into something else.

Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

Covering up the Epstein files. Giving tax breaks for YACHTS. Trying to rewrite January 6.

That’s what Republicans are up to. Not lowering costs. Not prioritizing public health. Not focused on you.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.
