Creativity at its best! The small things are needed and so important!

3D printers are needed. Whistles to give the right tone!

3D printers: WE NEED YOU! If you have a printer, start making whistles for your community. Volunteers of ours have been printing and passing them out across communities, over 200 have been handed out so far!

John Oliver sounded the alarm this week on how secret donations to presidential libraries provide cover for bribery. We couldn’t agree more.

It’s time to close the library loophole — and you can help.

Read this story and much more in our secrecy newsletter, The Classifieds.

I hate that we are getting closer to our second winter under tyranny.

I pull my sweaters back out and know next month will be the anniversary of the one of the most disappointing days in US history. The collective “Jesus Christ, No” that burst forth from our mouths last November.

Once, I visited Iran. The women and girls wanted to make contact, but the guards everywhere stopped us. Women and Girls controlled in everything. I felt that also, the strict clothing rules etc. I was young, it was an adventure, time limited, but I was exhausted from that. Theocracy targets women

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Let’s be honest: there have already been several bizarre moments from Trump this morning alone that would justify invoking the 25th Amendment.

He is a seriously unwell individual.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

BREAKING: DeSantis was mid-speech when a protester erupted with accusations about Epstein.

The tension was electric — the room froze. The Epstein scandal isn’t over. It’s a political bomb that keeps finding new targets.

RELEASE THE FILES!

This is really a scandal. A chinese operator on the Entity List is the provider for the Airport drone detection in Oslo. And than, the system is not working on the day, the russian drones are in their airspace, because of so called maintenance.

A drone detection system by a Chinese company that is on the Entity List, no less.

Unbelievable. This is dumbness or greenness or taking the cheap one, because they want to be cheaper than the others. Easiest way to get the key from the NATO Air Defence system.
