      A US Senator. For wanting to ask a question.
      Not joking.

          She said this just before:

          “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city.”

          So it was probably related to that.

            Don’t worry, they are setting precedent so that when the hat is on the other side they can cry about it happening to them. I’ve never understood how the federal government has let the individual states do everything so willy nilly?! It is absurd. It should set the base that everyone reaches or exceeds. That’s what a federal government does?!

      This is having that effect where it spreads awareness by trying to suppress it. Had no idea who that was, but now I do. And now I know to support them

        “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country,”

        That’s a quote from the press conference.

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
