We just want to say thank you to everyone who’s taken action! So far, three doxxing websites and one app have been successfully taken down. Doxxing is illegal in the United States, and so are true threats. Several MAGA-affiliated individuals have already been arrested for making violent threats.

🤔 That’s two posts in a row with immediate redhat garbage as a reply. Just when I was getting used to not having to see that nonsense here, too. I blocked them both, but I wonder what the odds are that it was just those two.

“Instead of a moral compass in the Oval Office, there’s a moral vacuum. Instead of a president who says we’re all in it together, we have a president who’s in it for himself. Instead of words that uplift and unite, we hear words that inflame and divide.” ~ Robert Redford

Josh Hawley & Rand Paul were the only Republican Senators voting to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles, which means both of my Senators, Todd Young & Jim Banks, voted to protect people who rape children. Perhaps there’s a reason to vote that way other than being on the list themselves but I can’t think of it.

In case it wasn’t clear when he swore in a constitutionally ineligible person as “President”, John Roberts is a traitor who should have been impeached by now. He is part of the ongoing coup to take over the U.S., and his actions are entirely predictable in that light.
