Sociopaths don't resort to Violence!

The footage shows that at one point an MPD officer asks Jackson and the DOGE lawyer if the USIP building is owned by the General Services Administration (which typically deals with the federal government’s real estate). “It’s a private building, and that’s why we need MPD,” Jackson says.
The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including:

Around the world, women writers face risks because of what they write, where they write, or simply just *because* they write. On #InternationalWomensDay, we encourage you to learn more about women writers at risk, and read some of their words. pen.org/we-must-reme...
The Post and Courier, which is leading the investigative work on the woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a child, looks into the woman’s FBI interview and substantiates many details through public records
What a shameful exercise in performative religiosity and piety 😳

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.

I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

Agreed. MAGA is a fascist ball of confusion.
Nick Fuentes & his Groypers have seen their "America First" wing influence grow exponentially. Trump *is the Swamp* & a poseur from Nick's POV — & therefore "America Last."
Fuentes is ready to burn it all down...

Greg Abbott claims his private school voucher scam will help working families.
But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it would give $1.2 million in taxpayer funds to Elon Musk.
