And as cynical as I am, I believe Americans are gonna take to heart Janis Joplin’s immortal words, “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.”

Soon, a tipping point will come. I believe Americans have the fight in them. But they’re gonna be pushed to the brink before they push back.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

If you're wondering why the Dem Party just seems inept, I think this is the best explanation.

There is no party. There is a fundraising machine masquerading as a party.

@ebayinc.com.web.brid.gy can you explain the difference between banning Nazi memorabilia and allowing merch for “Alligator Alcatraz”? A concentration camp is a concentration camp, right?
