So According to Some Democrats, the Left are Terrorists?

Not even a month after he was elected, Joe Biden has already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no such thing as pushing someone like him to the left after he’s already taken power, and the liberals who insisted it was possible have in interest in even trying.

It also includes $40 billion to assist hard-hit transit agencies and rental assistance funding for those facing eviction, as well as about $50 billion in health care, including to help with vaccine distribution and testing and tracing of the coronavirus. The effort was expected to leave out a second round of $1,200 stimulus payments, as a way to bring down its overall price tag, even though that measure is supported by both Trump and Pelosi.

“To think about fem­i­nism as a move­ment that secures the rights of women, but then dis­re­gard the rights of women who shouldn’t be bombed, shouldn’t be liv­ing under the con­se­quences of U.S. inter­ven­tion­ism, to negate their expe­ri­ences — it isn’t real­ly fem­i­nism,” she says.
