We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis. Message from the source channel owner.

With the passage of abortion bans in states like Florida and North Carolina earlier this year, Republican officials are dismantling women’s rights across the South, putting their health and lives in jeopardy.  South Carolina’s ban will cut off access to abortion for women in the state and those across the entire region for…
