It is a problem for society that healthy employment scares investors. Not surprising. But a problem.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.
I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need "coaching" on dedistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting Virginia. 10-1.Replying to Ted Cruz on redistricting: You all started it and we fucking finished it.

DHS claimed "Medics provided immediate aid to Pretti." They lied. In truth, a physician entered a sworn affidavit that ICE blocked him from reaching Pretti, and when he finally got there ICE wasn't giving him CPR, but counting bullet holes. My full analysis: www.qasimrashid.com/p/in-minneap...

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
