When the Trump regime finally ends, most of its membership MUST be sent to prison. If there's no accountability, they'll just keep coming back.

Electronic voting machines must be eliminated. Not electronic *tabulatiors*. It’s the voting machines that are the problem. Tabulators speed up the count, but are built on the existing paper record, which can always be verified.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Not that any dumbshit Trumpers are paying attention or even care. Being a member of the cult is what’s underpinning their self-identities. Trump will always be their daddy, no matter how much he abuses them.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
