Lots of talk about Lindsey Graham this week but here’s an obit worthy of our attention. A life of service vs Lindsey’s life of self serving. chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...
Mary Morello, Libertyville native, activist and mother of Rage Against the Machine's guitarist, dies at 102
In 1990, Ms. Morello founded Parents for Rock and Rap, a group that sought to protect the free speech of musicians in the face of a censorship movement.

WATCH: When her son Chris was 7, Mary McGonigle-Martin gave him raw milk, as it promised to treat allergies and digestive problems. A month later, he fell gravely ill.
Now 27, he’s still dealing with the effects of kidney damage and other health issues.
This is their story.

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028.
You can believe me now or believe me in 2028.
Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

It kinda got lost in the madness, but the federal conspiracy case against anti-ICE activists in Minnesota - the Minneapolis 15 - is a big deal
It's not just the 1st Amendment abuse. It's part of their plan to crush dissent ahead of a stolen election
