It’s no coincidence that there’s always a major catastrophe or crisis in the Middle East when the orange felon is in power which is even more proof that crime slumlord Jared Kushner’s fake Middle East peace mission was nothing more than a scheme to earn his $2B Saudi paycheck.

Civil Rights juggernaut Rev. Dr. John M. Perkins (my grandpa) has touched more people’s lives than anyone could count. Today, every white American should be required to read his 1st book from 1976. It tells his story; one of restorative justice, faith, hope and progress. Presumably banned soon. 🖤🖤

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.
