Next up...we don't know of any specific protest locations so unless we see different (which we'll pass along to you, of course) we'll assume its DC and state capitols again. Reminder: we do NOT condone violence or posts about that on our page. We're all pissed, but keep it professional. ❤️🇺🇸

. AOC is the only elected official who walks into Congress like it’s a battlefield, armed with facts, common sense, and zero patience for BS. Fearless, sharp, and always ten steps ahead—exactly what politics needs. And that’s why they are terrified of her! #AOC #QueenEnergy #FightBack

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
