AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people, keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.

You asked what's happening? Here's the autopsy: we fired 11,294 munitions in 16 days. We have five years to replace them. Israel is expanding its borders with American weapons while you pay $4 a gallon. The war is lost. Resign.

Resign
The war is lost. The only question left is how much America bleeds before someone says so out loud.

A 13-year-old sued Trump and Epstein for rape. The case was dropped after death threats. The system didn't protect her; it silenced her to protect the powerful. That's the receipt.

If you care about mothers on #MothersDay  you should care for all mothers year round. That means you don’t cut their Medicaid, ACA subsidies, CHIPS, Medicare, Social Security, SNAP, TANF or VA benefits. You make sure their water, air & food are safe.

Stephen Miller finally has a good idea, but for the wrong situation. They should have used the suspension of habeas corpus to strip Trump of his due process when he incited an insurrection. Jan 6: Trump incites insurrection. Jan 7: Trump's firing squad.
