Haven’t you noticed that no matter how “We The People” feel about a subject, government will do whatever it wants and doesn’t care about what we actually want?
TSA? The Drug War? Criminal justice reform? No knock raids?
Healthcare? Wars? Spying on its citizens? Immigration?/2
How much longer are we going to just sit around and allow our money to be stolen from us under the guise of “the greater good”
Yet when we analyze “the greater good” it ALWAYS ends with some well connected person getting more favors? When is the greater good actually about /3
The people?
Just because things have been done like this, doesn’t mean we have to keep doing them.
We are capable of change.
Just like with voting for the US president. Sure, we’ve only had R’s or D’s for 166 years… but at what point do you look at these two teams and /4
realize that neither of them serve your purpose? When do you look at your values up against theirs and say… “yeah maybe none of these people represent me?” And make the changes you want to see in the world?
As Thomas Edison famously said “5% of the people think; 10% of the /5
the people think they think; and the other 85% of people would rather die than think.”
We, as Americans, are being willfully ignorant.

You were told to stay home.
You were told to do “the right thing” You got the jab. You wore the mask. You missed birthdays and holidays. You missed hugs, fresh air, traveling, and hanging out with your friends.
You didn’t get to see grandma that one /2
2. last time. You didn’t get to hold her hand. You didn’t get to comfort her in her final moments.
But it was for the best. You can’t get sick. You can’t risk giving someone the disease. You were the good one. You did everything right.
And now you’re sick. You still got it. /3
3. Now you’re the person you hated. You’re the person who was selfish, the 1 who got others sick. Of course you didn’t know you were sick. And you didn’t do it on purpose.
They lied to you. They made you waste 2 years of your life. 2 years you’ll never get back. And for what?/4
My sons have air soft guns. They play with them frequently.They are not “asking for trouble” they are children with a toy.
I’m not surprised some police can’t tell the difference between an air soft gun and a gun. They can’t tell the difference between a taser and a gun either.
A young man in his driveway playing with an air soft gun was shot by police at least twice and killed.
You mean the police can’t see the bright Orange tip of the gun? And why did they release the actual photo of the knife, but a stock photo of a “similar gun.”
“The #Cuban regime requests a joint sanction of seven years of deprivation of liberty for the political prisoner Luis Robles Elizástigui, who has been accused of the crimes of "enemy propaganda and resistance" for peacefully protesting for the freedom of rapper Denis Solís.”
“The Cuban without political affiliation and convicted of exercising his right to freedom of expression has received beatings, threats, and has not been able to access the medicines he needs, inside the Combinado del Este prison.”
