History shows that the 1st step to fascism is outlawing abortion. Hitler and Mussolini both did it. This tactic of force dates to Napoleon—the deal he made w/the Pope to make abortion a sin #women #ProtectDemocracy #VoteBlueTomorrow @SenatorWarnock Georgia tiktok.com/t/ZTRx42NUw

Mussolini is the reason I am an American. My grandparents, aunts and uncle fled Italy when my 8 yr old uncle was forced to be in Mussolini’s youth group. I am named after my grandmother. No coincidence. #Vote #Election2022  #ProtectDemocracy #WomensHealth #DemocracyNotAutocracy

Isn’t this witness tampering? Weisselberg stepped down as Trump CFO after being indicted in summer 2021; he remains on the payroll on paid leave. His last reported salary was in excess of $900,000. He, too, is not expected to incriminate anyone above him. businessinsider.com/da-witne…

First prosecution witness in Trump Org trial is still paid $450K a year — by the Trump Org

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

In UN Security Council on "conflict and food security," S. Menker claims that the Ukraine conflict is not the "cause" of our food security crisis. If the war ends tomorrow, the food crisis will persist. Cites "shock models" showing that food crises have reversed progress.
