I served, you're absolutely full of shit. The poster or book with forbidden tattoos is older than either of us. And I was a combat medic, saw plenty of infantry with ink and none of it racist symbols. Because they wanted to stay in the military.

I don’t know, cause I don’t recognize all of the breaking bad adjacent properties by year of release, but I don’t think so.

 We express our sincere gratitude for the statements of support, letters, and phone calls received from our international partners following the Iranian drone strikes against the territory of the Republic of #Azerbaijan.

We highly value the solidarity shown with Azerbaijan and the clear reaffirmation of support for our country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the inviolability of its borders.

We thank all countries and international organisations who stood with Azerbaijan during this time and appreciate their continued support and engagement.

today’s guy was a 32 year old DACA kid. they scooped him up for possession last August and sent him to ICE detention in Arizona where he contracted COVID. like probably 3/4ths of these people, it says ICE never officially reported a cause of death and it’s still under investigation. Jesus Christ

Voters across North Carolina showed up to send leaders to office who will expand healthcare access, fight for affordable housing, prioritize community safety, and make life easier for everyday people.

The people are ready for leaders who will put working families first.
