Clearly, I must be wrong. Further, don’t take anything I say as financial advice. This is a social media account and should not be considered a source of news or useful information. I cannot afford a lawyer to provide a proper statement of how wrong I am.

Xavier Becerra didn’t just discover LGBTQ rights when it became politically convenient. His record goes back to the 1990s, and LGBTQ+ rights have been a huge part of it, from his time as California attorney general to serving as U.S. Health and Human Services secretary. 🧵

ICE IS ABOUT TO MAKE YOUR GROCERY BILL EVEN WORSE Cattle groups in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas say ICE raids are creating a “massive chilling effect” on legal, documented workers, disrupting meatpacking and delaying the processing of thousands of cattle. They’re reporting millions in losses.

I am NOT a reliable source. As I understand, we are sending troops into Iran under the notion that sending troops into Iran is not invading Iran. So we are invading Iran with US troops. Hopefully, I’m way off.

Amy Poehler recently recommended the Good Shephard www.imdb.com/title/tt0343.... It has its draw backs, but honestly an amazing cast and strong directing by De Niro. It is hard to look at any actions by the CIA and not see horrific idiocy that is actually a natural extension of the USA government.
