A 30 foot boat with outboards is not going to be able to get to the US coast from Colombia.
USCG stops ships everyday. They don’t blow them up to make videos.
If you don’t explain how they’re traffickers then it’s just another illegal killing.

I'm so proud of this grassroots campaign. Not a cent of corporate PAC money, just a movement by and for Minnesotans.

I find it absolutely insane that we live amongst people who will immediately believe every ridiculous claim that comes out of the mouth of a feudal king or a dictator, but then be completely skeptical about empirically proven, peer-reviewed facts that are shared by experts

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

I think tariffs hurt consumers, police shouldn't wear masks, and the President must obey the law - and shouldn't use his office to run personal profit-making schemes on the side.

This apparently makes me a radical Marxist.

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.
