WATCH — @neguse.house.gov: “You can see why I would be very skeptical of a resolution that says ‘the Trump Admin’s focus on restoring law and order’ when his very first action in office was to pardon violent felons.”
This is what he actually said. Trump said he met with the “President of the Virgin Islands” expressing he doesn’t know he’s the President of our US territories which included Puerto Rico in the commentary.
🔴 The Warmonger, even after creating so much current CHAOS around the globe, now has his eyes locked on Cuba. There is nobody who can make an AUTHENTIC deal with such an irrational profligate. He operates on the lunatic fringe.
So “Tilly Norwood” “made” a “music video” and it’s not just noxious AI propaganda, it fucking sucks. Like, this is the best they can do and it fucking sucks. (Screen recorded so as to avoid giving this dogshit any clicks)
13 years ago I was totally filled with negative feelings. My head in my hands. No sense of when relief was coming or how. My mental tipped over. Existential panic and defeat. I promised i'd never reach that point again. I took back myself from myself. I need to do it again.

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!

Serving military personnel have been left waiting for driving tests for too long. I asked the Government for the statement in solving the ongoing impasse.
Iran’s foreign minister, in a call with his New Zealand counterpart, said the current tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are the direct result of actions by the “aggressors.” The strategically vital waterway remains at the center of rising geopolitical and economic confrontation.
