The credible sexual allegation complaints against Brett Kavanaugh, and he was still confirmed to the supreme court. And everyone’s also forgetting the sexual complaint made against Joe Biden in the lead up to the 2020 election that the corporate media never covered.
Everyone in the political establishment complaining about Graham Platner, & the allegations against him are hypocrites, especially since Trump has credible sexual allegation complaints against him & he’s also been convicted of fraud & tax evasion

NEW: Minnesota 15 Defendant Isaac Sant Speaks Out
Healthcare worker and activist Isaac Sant is one of 15 people in Minnesota who were recently federally indicted on felony conspiracy charges for their community activism during ICE's deadly Operation Metro Surge immigration enforcement. "It's about quelling dissent in Minneapolis. And it's about coming after the movement that rose up against ICE during Metro Surge in December and January," Sant told Unicorn Riot during an interview.
Seeking to further criminalize legal observing and protesting, the federal indictment accused the defendants of opposing the authority of the government and impeding their federal operations by posting opinions to Facebook, being present at protests, attending meetings where direct actions were spoken upon, and wearing certain clothes.
The indictment calls many of the defendants “anarchists” and “antifascists,” both descriptors newly named as “terror groups” in the latest White House counterterrorism strategy.
These charges are a continuation of Trump’s vindictive domestic policies against the left as he directs federal agencies to go after political opponents using NSPM-7 and his executive order designating antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
"This is a naked attempt to silence our voices, to squash dissent and to have a chilling effect on organizing here in the Twin Cities. And I'm here to tell you, it's not going to work. People in the community here are smart. They're resilient. They have an indomitable will. And I have every faith that they're going to keep fighting," said Sant.
"This is an attempt by the government to drive a wedge in between good protesters and bad protesters, and try to shave off the radical flank of the movement and paint us like we're different from everybody else. But we're not. There's nothing that we're accused of doing that hundreds of thousands of people here in Twin Cities didn't do when these jack booted thugs were kicking in our doors and kidnapping our immigrant neighbors."

@DropSiteNews@ryangrim Is the section of the law that you’re referring to the Leahy Act which Congress and the president has repeatedly violated in order to provide weapons and funding for “Israel”❓
@World_Affairs11 So if Vladimir Putin came to New York City, he couldn’t be arrested, even though he has an arrest warrant out from the International Criminal Court❓
NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.
The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.
This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.
