Federal judge strikes down most of DeSantis’ book ban law saying it is over broad. “To be sure, parents have the right to ‘direct the upbringing and education of children,’ but the government cannot repackage their speech and pass it off as its own.” the Judge stated. #ProudBlue#Voices4 apple.news

People seem to forget that Putin is also popular in Russia as is his agenda.
Russia 1990s model:
1. Crash economy
2. Auction gov't assets
3. Oligarchs buy the assets for pennies on the dollar
4. Revenue generated doesn't cover gov't debt, so borrow money from oligarchs in exchange for more assets
5. Oligarchs ensure dictator is re-elected

#ProudBlue #Resist I found this on another site, so I checked out the story! Not surprisingly, it was real! I watch news from all over and never saw this mentioned. I can’t imagine why! Can you?

Authorities have arrested two men in Washington state, who had an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives, & body armor. They nearly killed a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
If these were immigrants it'd be front page news. But because they're two white male Nazis named Levi Austin Frakes & Charles Ethan Fields, you've probably only now heard & Trump could very well pardon them.
FYl White supremacists remain the greatest security threat to USA.
