"Your concerns did not go unnoticed, and your professional decorum shown during our city council meetings, as well as the protest here at City Hall, is much appreciated..."

We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.

There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.

Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

What happened to the husband and wife caretakers of Epstein’s NM Ranch? Where in the world are they? I realize there are people who really don’t care but the abused victims and survivors deserve justice and truth. Now.

Meet Texas Republican, Bo French.

One of his favorite phrases is “third world savages”—which he has applied to Afghan asylum seekers, Muslims, and even Native Americans, who he also wants deported.

He might win statewide office in Texas.

He calls his opponents “gay” and “retarded,” and he wants to deport 100 million “third world savages.” Naturally, he’s running for railroad commissioner.
