3. We need more influential people to speak out.
Tue Jul 15, 2025, 07:38 AM
Tuesday

We need corporate leaders to speak out. People remain silent because they fear Krasnov, thank you Bill Gates for speaking the truth in a country full of lies.

We need church leaders to speak out, we need Pope Leo to speak out.

We should have done town halls that put faces to the harm the Big Ugly Death Bill is going to do, and now we have another Big Ugly Death Bill.
