My group finished early so I decided to add better music. Note: I did not edit the video itself, that’s the DPRK Propaganda team doing the slo-mo.

Pam Bondi is breaking the DOJ And will take generations to put it back together.

"In its current degraded state, the DOJ is purely reactive, capable only of defending the policies of an aging demagogue and targeting his enemies for retribution. In short, Bondi presides over a department of weaponization and nothing else." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Trudeau expected to announce exit as party leader before national caucus meeting Wednesday Sources say they are unsure about what the Liberal Party national executive plans to do to replace Trudeau as leader

2024 (and now it seems 2025) seems to be the year of the anti-incumbent. Both left and right wing governments across the world are losing as everyone demands “change.”
