⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

The recent federal firings targeting special education and rehab rehabilitative services employees are cruel, harmful, and unacceptable. After teaching students with special needs for over a decade, I deeply believe that children deserve support, not cuts. (1/3

I told you yesterday in video and written format - there is no peace deal.

Hamas said they won’t disarm - I showed you the video of their leader.
Israeli defense minister tweeted about “cleansing Gaza” - showed you the tweet.

Now you have both sides blaming each other ⬇️

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act

You can’t use taxpayer resources for partisan attacks. Period.

Additionally, here's an engrossing, well researched PBS documentary worth watching.

Pretty amazing and horrifying how that time parallels this time.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

These "Republicans" should behave like current Republicans and say (lie) they are switching their vote, then, when the vote is taken, vote to release the files.

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."
