The Kinks - Father Christmas (1977)

🎶Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys🎶

No governmental agency has conducted an independent review of the Line 5 tunnel project. A “trust us” pinky promise from a company like Enbridge isn’t good enough.

Demand @GovWhitmer and @MichiganEGLE conduct a comprehensive review of the proposed Great Lakes tunnel.

Folks, this is extortion. Crime and corruption at the highest level.

This is bonkers. Michael Glasheen, operations director of the FBI's National Security Branch, said antifa was the agency's "primary concern"

These clowns are unfit. 🤡
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?
