Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

In my area, Lloyds Group of which Blackrock is a shareholder is buying up hundreds of new homes for the private rental market. This is tying up precious housing stock for corporate profit. The UK gov are allowing this to happen and indeed are partnering with them. youtu.be/ZsMwrlQ7Wa8?...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Trump’s latest pardons, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were known for their 10-season USA Today reality show "Chrisley Knows Best” (which this goddess had never heard of). They were in prison for charges of bank fraud and tax evasion. They’re now teasing a new reality show. Because, of course they are.
