The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

The FBI agent who initially began working with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to investigate the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good has resigned. Soon after the agent opened the civil rights investigation, she was ordered to reclassify it as a probe into an assault on the officer.

In less than one year he’s destroyed the Constitution, the economy, the CDC, the FDA, USAID, PBS, the Education Dept, he’s put a major U.S. city under military occupation, and he’s about to invade Europe.

All because 77 million assholes wanted it and 90 million more didn’t give a shit.

Rep Tom Barrett's claim to fame was piloting an Army helicopter. But the WIFE of Dem hopeful Matt Maasdam did same 🚁in the Navy! Maasdam himself was a Navy SEAL who carried the nuclear football for Pres Obama. 😮 If MM gets the Dem nod, midterm will be LIT: Barrett's only big selling point? Shot down

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

For a vet, Rep Tom Barrett sure is a wuss. Chalk messages outside his office? A challenger w/a fursona? Is he also afraid of his own shadow?
Let's review his OTHER possible Dem opponents: Brink - former Ambassador to Ukraine; Maasdam - former Navy SEAL. Fearless.
#OneTermTom knows he's in trouble.
Michigan GOP Rep. Tom Barrett sent out a frantic fundraising email claiming "the furries are coming for me" after learning his Democratic challenger is an Army National Guard veteran who happens to have a furry persona named Elyon Badger.

The dangerous and unpopular Moms for Liberty & similar organizations are still out there, trying to tell communities what their children should be allowed to read. Don't fall for it. My novel, The Librarian's Son, tackles this issue and more. Buy here: shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params...

We already know what makes our communities safer, and it's not troops on our streets.

It's giving people accessible housing, food, employment, health care, and education opportunities.

Some folks would like to read my latest novel, The Librarian's Son--a story of past lives and present-day censorship--but are reluctant to support Amazon.

I get it!

So now you can use the QR code below to purchase directly from the printer/distributor, with no Bezos involvement at all. 😁 Cheers!
