ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

Being a woman on the internet, exhibit 739628949:

TLDR: “Consider letting someone more adult be the voice of your movement, you sound like a ditsy socialist liberal”

A man telling me to consider having someone else as the voice of my movement.

A man telling me my voice sounds like a ditsy socialist liberal (“and I honestly don’t mean to insult you”) and I should let someone who is a real adult step in.

My fellow Americans, we are going to have to harden up & be free men.
We can't kumbaya our way out.
We can't hope our way out.
We can't pray our way out.
We can't protest our way out.
We can't vote our way out.
We're gonna have to unite & fight our way out. Do or die.
Revolution is the solution.

More evidence of ICE arresting citizens exercising their free speech rights. Just another violation of the Constitution.

“What’s the benefit for 🇺🇸 in sending $20 BILLION to Argentina?”🤔

Trump says he just really likes their philosophy and will only send the $20 Billion if his pal Milei wins.

Imagine not being able to see this blatant corruption for what it is. (While our farmers struggle)
