Democracy Matters!

Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

Lol it’s not soft on crime so much as it is enabling. January 6ers think a pardon = immunity from everything. So they keep doing illegal things thinking they’re protected forever.
A J6er pardoned by Trump just got arrested for crimes against two kids. One victim, only 11, says 44-year-old Andrew Paul Johnson abused him 3 times.

Kids pay the price for Trump's soft-on-crime policies.

It’s unsurprising that the Georgia election interference case against Trump will be dismissed

But it’s infuriating nonetheless

We all heard him extorting Brad Raffensperger-trying to make him “find” 11,780 votes

And worse-now the DOJ is “investigating” Fani Willis-upon Trump’s demand

Appalling

MGT has seen her networth jump from $700k to $25 million since joining Congress in 2021. And she served juuust long enough to get a lifetime tax payer-funded pension.

She got the joke.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

Another restaurant owner stood up to ICE. She refused to let fear win. Her courage reminds us that ordinary people still hold the power to stop injustice in its tracks. When we speak up, we protect what’s right.

You know what blatant ignorance, stupidity and fascism look like? The MAGA regime and republicans destroying the Department of Education whilst rebranding the Department of Defense to the “dept of war” to the cost of $2B in updates whilst telling people there’s no money.

This administration is disappearing people! Children are being tortured...including US citizens! Speak up about this tomorrow. Make sure no one in your circle is ignorant about it.

No need for an argument, just say you're thankful that #ICELawlessness is not happening to your family & describe it.
