-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportations.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...
