The soul must accept guilt in order to destroy existing evil, lest it incur the greater guilt of idyllic withdrawal, of seeming to be good by putting up with wrong. -Ernst Bloch https://brianmattys.substack.com/

🚨🚨🚨Incredibly disturbing video. Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) joined Capitol Police in violently ejecting a Marine Corps veteran in uniform who protested the war against Iran. You can hear the bone in his arm snap around the 55 second mark.🚨🚨🚨
