We told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Judges now face threats, arrests, and abandonment — not because they broke the law, but because they upheld it. Project 2025 is crushing judicial independence through fear and force. If the courts fall, democracy falls. #MomSky www.citizensforethics.org/news/analysi...

Trump’s constant denigration of Canada and talk of trying to annex the country is obviously a big factor in turning Canadians off, but his cruel and wanton immigration policies are scaring off people from elsewhere too. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-kill...
