“The problem is that Americans thought it was ok to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of The United States and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”

Since the Republican Political Party has assumed control of three branches of government they have assumed enemy positions against: Canada, China, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Norway, Brazil, So Korea, Venezuela, Gaza, and Greenland ~
Literally, inventing enemies for Americans. This is the problem.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

The GOP blames Social Security for the national debt.

So they blame workers for the national debt, and want workers to work longer to “save” it.

They don’t blame 23 years of war in Asia, nor billions given annually to rich farmers and Israel and Egypt and now Argentina.

They blame you.

When Cosplay Kristi “more plastic than brains” Noem tried to turn America’s airports into propaganda screens, public servants refused to bow. From JFK to Portland, they chose law over lies & democracy over fear.
Read how resistance took flight in our latest piece:

Even House Republicans are saying enough is enough! MAGA Mike Johnson needs to defy his cult leader, Convicted Felon Donald Trump, & negotiate w/ Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to reopen the government.
