It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every β€œFriday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Sure, Hitler negotiated his brains out, and then we negotiated tf out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Hirohito to unconditionally negotiate.

I wrote down some notes on privatization and the transfer of wealth. Tell the MAGA in your lives that they’re subsidizing billionaires by voting for republicans.

Not just the centrists, the entire Democratic response has been pretty feeble.

Sure it does, but focusing on the distraction angle soft-pedals the fact that this is an illegal military occupation of an American city. Tired of milquetoast Dem responses…
