NEW: Veteran Brian McGinnis speaks out.
He describes senators behaving like “robots” after a Republican helped break his arm as he protested the Iran War.
He says "shallow" slogans like “support your troops” are just used to distract people from "thinking critically."
And much, much more:

I'm going there... Congressional testimony by Epstein's accountant say 5 people/entities transferred huge sums of money to Epstein. We know about Leon Black. The Rothschilds have been mentioned. Now there is testimony they were a source of money for Epstein. I'm percolating a huge conspiracy theory.
Going back to back! 🫡

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

Better EU regulation on social media is long overdue.
Let us be very clear: regulation does not mean censorship.
It means transparency. It means giving users the right to understand how platforms target ads.
This is the true foundation of free speech in today’s world
Two headlines. Same newspaper. Just days apart.
According to the *Financial Times*, the Kremlin has backed covert efforts to keep Viktor Orbán in power. Around the same time, voices in Washington described Orbán’s leadership as “essential” for US interests. Different capitals. Same conclusion. 1/2

People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?
#Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington
Could have been a cabinet secretary in the trump government.
Stunning that a long standing super power nation has been successfully dismantled and ravaged in 13 months. A vanity war, loss of lives, crashing economy, plundered environment & collapse of the world order. By a 34x convicted felon, accused rapist, reality TV personality descending into dementia.
Another hush money payment.
I haven't visited a Starbucks or a Target all year. Sucks to be a soulless corporation right now.

Clearly not about Hezbollah, trying to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon and take more land.
DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.
COVERUPS WON’T WORK.
NOT EVEN WAR.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
So has anybody seen ANY active duty military members defying orders since this war is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional?
no?
Well, let's put the whole "remember your oaths to the Constitution" shtick to rest. The military isn't saving us.
Just when you think things cannot get any crazier!
Spain MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Donald Trump — If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war — those who want war should send their own children”
