Don't forget that your homeless neighbors, the people living in the streets & out of their cars around you that you see every day, are part of your real world community.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

You think WE have a "rabid base?" Here's YOUR base breaking into a locked and barred U.S. capitol, shirtless, with a SPEARPOINT ziptied to an American flag LOOKING FOR THE SPEAKER'S OFFICE!

Self-described "Q shaman" rampaging through the capitol during the January 6, 20201 insurrection riot by tRump supporters.

Of course they're wrong. And ignorant. And mean. The person saying it via the largest megaphone is RJKJr, and he's saying it because he is interested SOLELY in creating a superior American race via eugenics. Seriously. It's a thing he shares w/tRump. They are terrible people through and through.

The First Lady proudly admits she has been in contact with the Dictator running our greatest enemy, who is at war with Europe, and the media is talking about the deaths of people you never heard of.

What has happened to this country?

Melania lays bare details of private letter from Putin in surprise announcement

The first lady said Vladimir Putin had signaled a "willingness to engage with me directly" in an unexpected White House announcement.

And yet she came thiiiissss close. Like, it couldn't have been any closer. I wish people hadn't been so concerned about her negatives and had just, yanno, worked and voted. We'd have made it.

"..the facility being built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho isn’t a separate base at all — it is a group of buildings that will be built to handle training and maintenance for Qatari troops — and the agreement with Qatar has been in the works for years.

In other words, "President DJT" announces that he will place hundreds of federal agents into NoKings events this weekend.
In further news, he doesn't know any "very good people."
And in other further news, his administration is a total SCAM!!!

Also, the U.S.A. government just gave Argentina $20 billion for no apparent reason -- that's in addition to the bazillions of dollars in soybeans that China no long buys from the U.S.A. because, wait for it, they buy from Argentina now.
