We’re at the Supreme Court today defending the rights of Black voters in Louisiana.

We all know if the SCOTUS does this it isn’t right

I’ve been saying, unless this version of the Supreme Court is changed, John Roberts will continues his assault on Democracy. He and the other 5 co-conspirators won’t stop

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Threads and X both have armies of Nazis, White Supremacists, and Russia propaganda cyber army.

BREAKING: A court temporarily blocked the installation of two statues of Catholic saints on the public safety building in Quincy, Massachusetts while our case proceeds.

This is a win for the separation of church and state under the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights.
