actually I remember that a lot of us felt very, very alarmed by the choice of the word “homeland” and all its sinister implications
DHS was originally conceived in the interest of unity and harmony — and the phrase "homeland security" was originally meant to be reassuring. n.pr/4nOx8KP
'Homeland Security' has spawned political insecurity since DHS was born

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed.

The DOJ’s website used to have hundreds of press releases documenting every arrest, conviction, and sentencing from January 6th. Those records are gone now. The Trump administration confirmed it removed the pages and called the documentation “partisan propaganda.”

I simply can’t believe Congress and the cabinet are sitting around, totally fine with what is absolutely demented behavior from the president.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Evidence Piece Number 4,916 that Donald Trump is a pedophile, and that the Republican Party has gone out of their way to protect a pedophile, and should be asked “Why do you protect this pedophile?” at every opportunity
A direct email exchange from 2011 between Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, just released by House Oversight Committee Democrats.

Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein writing that Donald Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages suggesting that the convicted sex offender believed Trump knew far more about his abuse than he has publicly acknowledged.

Trump is now claiming that museums are the last segment of wokeness in America. There’s a lot we could say about how completely absurd and unhinged that is, but honestly, his own words say more than we ever could. Here’s what he posted:
