Until we, as a culture, start penalizing lies... this is gonna continue, in one form or another.
Yet ice is being paid during the shutdown! 🤬
mayor is correct, time for a nationwide general strike.
This is the real reason we need the protests. For our spirits, our morale, our vision for America, we need community with the fellow believers who truly love this country. ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰Stay strong, stay peaceful Chicago.
They also did this in Portlard 😢 WHAT A SHAME.
Time to impeach…Mike Johnson
The pain of this shutdown is unfortunately necessary to GROW the popular ANGER and RAGE we need to motivate the very LEAST of us to go all in on a NATIONWIDE GENERAL STRIKE and an ACCELERATED RESISTANCE. No-one is coming to save us, we can't and SHOULDN'T depend on Congress OR the courts. This is on US, it's UP TO US AND ONLY US, and we need to ACT LIKE IT.
No, Amy, Johnson can confirm Alita even without reconvening the House.
Thanks a lot for reporting........!
