Another excellent morning engaging with local businesses for the Signs of Solidarity campaign.
I’ve done a lot of canvassing in my life (started as a kid w/ mom for McGovern ‘72).
This is the most rewarding BY A MILE.

Just as a reminder, these same people also called “antifa” terrorists, no kings protesters terrorists, and this is what they do to terrorists.

Q: Would the administration consider putting troops on the ground in any capacity in Venezuela?

“For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other.”

America has no kings and it never will.

People are literally caught between American guns aimed at them at home and American guns driving them out of the US. US guns are a fount of evil.

Ruth Zakarin @ruthz.bsky.social · 9h

The U.S. exports an ungodly amount of guns to countries like Mexico and Haiti.

These guns are used to commit the very violence people in those countries are fleeing.

They come to the U.S. seeking safety, only to be terrorized by federal agents that are carrying more and more guns.

1. ICE has sharply increased its spending on weapons in 2025, according to an analysis of federal gov't data by Popular Information.

Records reveal ICE has increased spending on “small arms" — a category that includes guns, armor, chemical weapons, and explosives — by 700% compared to 2024 levels

Major props to whichever investigative reporters or citizen sleuths quickly got the answer to this question, which the regime obviously did not want us to find out.

Next question: What was the quid pro quo?

Maybe that the government would refuse to fund SNAP?

Why do we need a private donor to pay for our military? Where on Earth is our tax money going, if not to pay for our military?

His Argument On Social Safe-Nets Is A Little Misguided, Since 73% Of Federal SNAP/Medicaid Funding Is Used In Republican Lead States/Districts, Which Is A Public Record.

...he can "afford" to make a $130M "donation" (it was probably more but the capo gets a cut) but heaven forbid we actually tax all these "donors". JFC we're stupid. 🤦‍♂️

So buying votes by providing safety nets is bad but buying the military isn’t ???
Sounds like an agenda
