It's TEXTBOOK pre-WW2 fascist Germany. And it's happening NOW, from the same exact group of people with the same ideals as Nazi Germany had before rounding up LGBT, Jews, Political Dissidents, Journalists and political rivals. People need to WAKE THE FUCK UP before you also are disappeared.

Today, we're empowering those seeking a second chance. With my signature, Illinois will create an automatic process to seal the criminal records of those convicted of non-violent crimes. We're opening up opportunities for those re-entering society to live healthy, stable lives.

U.S. has had a presence in Greenland since 1951, following an agreement between Denmark ~ U.S. government that established the Thule Defense Area. The current base, renamed Pituffik Space Base in 2023, is focused on missile warning, space surveillance, and satellite command and control missions.
