agents beat him for days with a fire hose nozzle, repeatedly on his head and repeatedly throwing him handcuffed into a brick wall head first, then physicians injected Biko with Thalium to insure a massively un-survivable brain hemorrhage.

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to:

1) Help get out the vote.
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference.
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism.

We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.

We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans stood by and supported Trump's...

-Big Ugly Bill
-Iran War
-ICE abductions & National Guard deployments
-Inflationary tariffs
-Blatant corruption

Americans across the partisan divide seem increasingly fed up with school voucher schemes, which funnel public funds to unaccountable private entities. Even Betsy DeVos’s lobbying group is getting nervous about the voucher backlash.
