What does freedom mean to you?
Have you asked your low info voter friends that?
Have you told them what it means to you? Does it mean masked men brutalizing random people—guns in your face—tear gas on your street?
Have you ever shared a video about #ICELawlessness?
Silence is complicity.

This weekend, Trump said “the Biden FBI” placed 274 agents in the January 6 insurrectionist mob.
He wrote “If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.”
But it ISN’T so: TRUMP was still POTUS until January 20. It was the TRUMP FBI.
Oops. Never mind. 👑 😳😵💫😎😟

Republicans are lying because they know the truth: if we show up to vote in 2026, they’re toast.

In recent public remarks about deploying the National Guard to Chicago, Donald Trump said:
“I have the right to do ANYTHING I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.”
Not even a King has that right. Certainly no president. Who knew a non-drinker could be so drunk with power?
