Free Luigi! The press is in full admonition mode after Luigi's statement to the court. I don't believe he gave that statement without coercion. The industry's job is to deny people care. That's the real ugly and vicious crime here. The key here is if we had universal HC we wouldnt have Luigi's.

The FBI tried to get Dr. King to kill himself. He fought to eradicate poverty by upending the power of the wealthy and elites. He challenged the American Empire. Don't let them gaslight you into believing that he was "just committed to peace and equality".

The Professor watch list was created by Turning Point USA and led by Charlie Kirk. This silencing of left-wing voices calling out racism and double-standards and violent rhetoric from the right is in-line with the kind of McCarthyist violence that Charlie and his ilk subscribed to.

Okay. Charlie Kirk's assassin was a white, 22 year old, 'mildly politicized' kid from Utah. So to all the conservatives who've been flooding social media "declaring war in the left" or to the Orange Skull who went on natl TV and said this is "the fault of the wild far-left", what now?
