They want consequences. They want negative consequences so they can declare martial law, to put the military on the streets to kill people. This Regime wants people to die. It's very clear with their actions.

Until there are consequences, theyโ€™ll keep appealing. How disgusting is it, to deprive citizens of food?

Saw an article about someone "redefining what it means to be a pop-star." And just all the comments from people being like "who?" "never heard of her?" and it's just folks, we're in our 40s, just accept we won't know a lot of these people and that doesn't mean "music is dead." We're just old...

Trump thinks he owns the government. He's wrong. The people own the government.

Vote for Democrats today to show this wannabe dictator who's boss. There's still plenty of time to make it to the polls.
