He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

So the National Guard of one state is in a different state to wage war on the people. That is absolutely a civil war.

I'll tell you why the regime keeps blowing up small Venezuelan boats. Because they think it's fun. This is no different than a video game to them. They don't see the passengers on the boats as human. Going after "drug cartels" is just their excuse to kill for fun. They are evil children.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

We're told at least one person was arrested—and later released with a citation for disorderly—by Broadview police for simply being on the Maywood side of 25th at Harvard St outside the ICE facility this morning.

They were documenting agents coming and going as electeds have told people to do.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

Sure. You aren’t paying them.
I hope you are enjoying getting paid. How are your Republican “colleagues”? The ones who attack our cities, terrorize our people and rob us of our wealth , health, and dignity.
You’re real comfy, untouched, insulated, self-satisfied.
WTF?

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.
