Just your average, white, working male. Grew up with conservative Republican values, but by today's standards that puts me more center-left; and I am OK with that.
I found BlueSky because Ben Meiselas mentioned it on the Meidas Touch Network.

17 REPUBLICANS JOINED ALL DEMOCRATS to extend the ACA Subsidies for 3 years.
The Senate has to pass it as well, but has more incentive to do so with 17 Rs lending their support. 📢🚨

Conway: This man is violating his oath in myriad ways each and every day. Impeachment is not an option. It is mandatory. It is required. It is morally, constitutionally, and legally obligated.

Isn't there a word for a leader who thinks there are no meaningful legal constraints on his or her power and that "My own morality. My own mind" is "the only thing that can stop me"?

Never mind that this isn’t the definition of doxing in the first place, but you can’t dox a federal employee. If you’re a public servant, your identity isn’t “hidden.” It’s on public records. People can access those public records.

Her name is Renee Nicole Good, age 37, mother. She was not a terrorist, she was a legal observer obeying commands from police. His name is known to local authorities. Someone knows this man's name. He must be brought to justice. No justice, no peace.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
