Quarantining incoming flights should have happened way sooner. Races cancelled. Eat Out to Spread the Virus was always a bad idea. Economy above people. And they failed to consider morbidity at all.

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.
