WaPo – Goya’s CEO said the U.S. is ‘truly blessed’ with President Trump.
#BoycottGoyaFoods is not a “suppression of speech”. It’s actually an act of free speech, as well as our right to avoid companies that support Trump’s racist policies.

This is crazy – Cops were called into an assisted living facility because of a resident, a WWII Vet, who refused to go to the hospital to get treated for a UTI. They came, tased him, shot him with a bean bag, He died of internal bleeding.

Fake Police Drones Advertisement
Around NYC recently, “advertisements’ went up depicting an NYPD logo and a picture of a drone firing a missile at a family of three.
