That is what I would like to think however this person suffered greatly because of what Trump did.

The framing should be on the horrific cruelly of Trumps fascist authoritarian actions not on the character of the person being attacked

Every American should be using a VPN now to prevent ISPs from tracking your online data usage. It can also make you look like you are coming from a different state than you actually are.

Mississippians I am talking to you!

CTA for anyone who can find out who got ICE these license plates? Who at the DMV got these plates to them? The cars that do have plates on them. Have current registration stickers but they don’t come ... TikTok video by GoForSharon

Someone has been putting together a database of the license plates connected to the cars that the ICE agents are driving. After researching the plate numbers they do not line up; the plates don't belong to the cars they were on.

Mississippi Anti-Diversity Law Will Stay Blocked, Judge Rules Mississippi’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public schools remains blocked, with a judge citing dangers to academic freedom.

Public institutions are not allowed to teach or β€œendorse divisive concepts or concepts promoting transgender ideology, gender-neutral pronouns, deconstruction of heteronormativity, gender theory (or) sexual privilege,” Mississippi's anti-DEI law says.

Have we become that cynical that we have to phrase his forced internment in the CECOT concentration camp in this way?

It will bring such a great relief when it does happen but I just find I cannot feel enthusiastic about wishing to hurry it along.

I do think this meme is appropriate though.

Vivaldi web browser is built in Europe on Chromium. If an extension works in Chrome, it works no Vivaldi.

It has a built in free VPN provided by Proton, a Swiss company, that is the only "free" VPN I would trust.

It is not a solution but use of this browser would bypass these issues for users.

Vivaldi has a built on VPN provided throguh ProtonVPN that is free. It is the only "free" VPN that I would ever suggest.

Vivaldi is built on Chromium, if it works on Chrome it works on Vivaldi.

Proton is based in Switzerland with a reliable record on respecting privacy and security of their users.

Download Vivaldi | Vivaldi Browser Download the latest version of the Vivaldi browser for Windows, Mac or Linux. Browse your way with a fully customisable browser packed with advanced features.

Mr. Pittman,

The Vivaldi browser is made in Europe and respects user privacy and security. All extensions that work for Chrome work for Vivaldi.

ProtonVPN, the only free VPN I would use, is built into the browser.

This would allow your users to bypass the block.

In addition to Puerto Rico we should also push for statehood for the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

D.C. is a more complicated case because it is a district and not a territory.

Grow demand for the territories, D.C will catch on.

"Exhaustion is a strategy. Distraction is a strategy. Confusion is a strategy. And while we’ve been caught up in the noise, Trump has been moving forward with something far more dangerous than the daily scandals: a long-term plan to rig the system so he never loses power again.”

Josh Vlasto worked for Schumer & Cuomo and is director of Fairshake cryptoPAC that targeted all the progressives & weak Senate candidates like Tester.

His brother Chris Vlasto worked at ABC. Got the Monica Lewinsky interview in the 90s.

Chris Vlasto gave Trumps campaign the exit polls in Nov 2016.

Or not. These people are responsible for targeted harassment and have destroyed many people and corporations livelihoods.

You should read this breakdown of who these people are:

Jeffrey Epstein has always been the single issue capable of taking Trump down.

It came close.

It would have worked if we had unity with the different factions within the Resistance.

There is still time.
