Had to repost because Mrs. Bowers‘ description of how MAGA works is so spot on 
The collective ignorance of MAGA, a cult that mindlessly repeats whatever they've been told by liars—and knows no actual history.

Why isn't the media giving #ICELawlessness the coverage it deserves?
A sitting member of the US Senate (Senator Kim) got attacked yesterday with chemical weapons by this rogue administration and crickets!
It's up to us to make sure people hear about these things.
Please share this thread widely.

I took this video right before ICE pepper sprayed the crowd at Delaney Hall, including Senator Andy Kim. ICE was dressed like they're going to war, with weapons and an armored vehicle. That's because we are the enemy to them. We just keep standing up to this repression. @north.dsanj.org

Noticed watching the news brief on a bar tv yesterday — “nearing a solution” oh really? Well now I can breathe easy!

Doesn't it seem like the MSM are stuck in a rut? POTUS claims we're close to a deal to end the war. The media report the claim as if it's a fact. The next day, it turns out it was just a claim, & the war isn't about to end. It's like Lucy with the football. Shouldn't the media be more skeptical?

This reminds me of the Amtrak train I took last fall. It is old-fashioned and all steel and still works great.
Popular with younger generations to think that anything "old" isn't "good today". Reactor 1 at Nine Mile Point power generating station was built in 1969. The buttons and lights that control it still work. They've never needed a firmware update or software patch. And they're dependable as ever!

$2-5 million. I’m a law abiding citizen and could certainly use a million dollars or two
REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.”

Absolutely disgraceful. I’m old enough to remember what a huge event Roots was on TV in the 70s. *Everybody* watched it, and then read the book.
If you never read the book or saw the movie, you missed one of the greatest Pulitzer Prize winning sagas ever written. To dishonor Alex Haley like this is disgraceful.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.
