"In all 7 states where abortion has been on the ballot since #RoeVWade fell, voters have... supported protecting #abortion rights...
That has led some #Republicans... to target the ballot initiative process, a form of direct #democracy...
“Thank goodness that most of the states in this country don’t allow you to put everything on the ballot because pure democracies are not the way to run a country,” said Rick Santorum"

Greg Abbott says millions of people have been “apprehended at the border” under President Biden, which he says proves that the borders are open.

This is exactly the message we need right now:
"Too much hate has been given too much oxygen"

Epilogue:
While applicability re: POTUS is a matter for the courts to decide, it is undeniably clear that Cruz, Lee, Jordan, Greene, Biggs, Gosar, etc. clearly provided “aid and comfort” to the insurrection and as such should be barred from holding public office.

From the "It Was Never About Zionism" Dept., in partnership with the "I Can't Possibly Be Antisemitic Some Of My Best Friends Are Jewish" Dept.: “A bomb squad is called to a Satmar Hassidic synagogue in Lakewood, New Jersey after a grenade was found strapped to a utility pole nearby, according to local reports.”

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/bomb-squad-called-to-synagogue-in-lakewood-nj-after-grenade-found-nearby/ For those who may be unaware, Satmar is a Hassidic dynasty that has always been non-zionist.

The superintendent of a youth detention center in #Knoxville, #Tennessee illegally puts kids in solitary confinement for laughing during meals, talking during class or getting lice. He leaves them for hours, days, sometimes even over a week.
The Department of Child Services has known about this, and continues to re-license the facility.
Astonishingly, the superintendent gave a WPLN & ProPublica reporter a tour of the facility. And reminisced to her about beating kids.
