A good number of them will be out on the street on Saturday

He would rather shut down our government than have you see the truth. It's not complicated.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

Jacob Soboroff is very brave for this reporting. At a time when other news outlets are cowering in fear, he's fulfilling the highest order of journalism, which is truth telling and holding the powerful accountable.

They rig maps & silence voters.

They rip away freedoms we fought and bled for.

They try to silence voices on national TV.

This is dictatorship in action.

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.
