Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

So let me get this straight 49 white South Africans are offered refugee status by Trump & suddenly the GOP is silent on “America First” & resource strain? White refugees use the same resources that Brown & Black refugees do. This isn’t immigration policy it’s white grievance theater.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Make sense of this mess: We’re shunning skilled immigrants —while dumbing down schools by banning books & defunding education. And the grand plan for the workplace is a bro-club of white men hoarding power. So when does “greatness” kick in? Because all I’m seeing is regression wrapped in a flag.

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory The Biden administration was bringing back American manufacturing. Now, thanks to Trump the manufacturing boom is coming to a screeching halt. If he continues to gut all of Biden’s clean energy initiatives it will go straight over the cliff.
