When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.
Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

imo if you want to get back in power your slogan should be "If you elect us we will prosecute everyone in government who has violated the law"

A CIA trained killer who Trump granted asylum to killed a National Guard member. But for some reason the corporate media has moved on. They don't want to talk the CIA's ties to the killed and Trump's approval of the killer's asylum. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/a-cia-trai...
