Think of me as someone who has something—a vote—that you, the politician, wants. How will you get me to give it to you? I might give it to somebody else! I might stay home! I might forget! What are you doing to delight me so thoroughly that I try to be first in line to vote for you?

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet
Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

As many of us here in Minneapolis have been saying Ice hasn’t left they have regrouped and refined the tactics they are using to hunt humans for sport
We were lied to so the death squads could work more effectively.
