Imagine the strength of the free world, if the American people had elected a president who joined the European alliance and sent marines to take Crimea in Ukraine instead of Kharg Island in Iran.

🚨 THIS IS IT!!!

Governor JB Pritzker : "just dropped the mic calling for 'Project 2029'.

A blueprint to reverse the damage, hold accountable, and prosecute those in Trump’s administration who broke the law, abused power, and attacked our democracy.

While restoring our democracy and serving everyday Americans, not billionaires."

That’s the path forward. 💙 ✊

New- Nine people are facing decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism” in federal court.

The evidence didn’t hold, but the narrative did as prosecutors criminalized ideology. This case sets a precedent everyone should be paying attention to.

The "Antifa Scare": Inside the Prairieland Trial and the Criminalization of Dissent

Nine people face decades in prison after a July 4 protest outside Prairieland Detention Center was prosecuted as “terrorism.” One shooter. No coordinated plan. Still, sweeping convictions. This case sets a dangerous precedent: showing up can now be treated as conspiracy.
