Yeah, a trash strike in Memphis. A killing in between the killing of two brothers, three that defined my life...and I'm not alone.
JFK, MLK, RFK. What a coincidence. Change bringers. All murdered. Change bringers.

He said everything we needed to know to change things back then and that is why he was killed. His dreams are not dead. They will never die. It's up to us, those living now, to make his dreams the reality children will come to know and pass on to their children.

Of course she did. Susan brought us Bret Kavanaugh and the other corrupt Supremes. She's hoping to go into assisted living permanently in the Senate nursing home this year, but sadly her ticket is being rejected by Maine. We've had enough and it will be Graham Platner moving her on.

Sorry.
Hard times require hard actions.
Shut the government down...Period
No more funds for ICE.
Defund ICE.
Impeach and indict Noem and Miller.
Abolish Fatherland Security.
Take back our country.
We are at the point where any half, quarter, little, or no measures are defeat.

I am a veteran. I am a registered nurse. I also carry today. Alex Pretti was a hero who knew the dangers of being out there, knew the only thing to do was to be present, and help stop fascism. He stood & met the challenge. He cared. And he gave his life for an idea bigger than himself. Day is done.
Also if you’re a veteran, especially OIF/OEF or adjacent or just interested in veteran shit, follow this account please not sure why it isn’t bigger.
Heartbreaking and infuriating.

And what did you do to further the cause? Will you refuse to give ICE more $$$? Shut down the government?

Ordinary people have done extraordinary things: they have stood up, marched, brought food to their neighbors, and they have not blinked.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
