“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Well, I wish there were more activity here, but if the only solution is to allow alleged "freedom" like current X has, that's far worse. There's no negotiation with the majority of MAGA, most especially via the internet.

To be clear, the Israeli government doesn't care about American Jews being slaughtered by psychotic extremists. The Israeli government's first priority is genocide. The best way to curb extremists outside of government is to get all extremists out of government.

Most Americans don't pronounce Qatar correctly. It's pronounced "Cutter." If you don't believe me, ask any Middle Eastern immigrant. That's how I learned it. A person from Qatar is called "Cuttery."
