There are already places in Texas where the locals are doing "pregnancy" patrols, watching for women traveling while pregnant. It's dystopian already.

The insurrectionist pedophile in question is Andrew Paul Johnson and it is public record that he tried to silence his victim(s) with promises of Trump millions for J6.

Do not let them take your love. Do not let them take your hope. Goodnight 💚
To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely. The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

This is Marigold. She is 18 and blind. Just had a professional photoshoot and made sure to stick her tongue out in every shot. Her session was "full of the kind of quiet magic only senior dogs carry," her photographer said. "I feel so lucky to have photographed her." 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?
