I spent my afternoon making & passing out Yes on 50 flyers in front of Walmart & other stores in English & Spanish, and you can do it, too.

If you wanna save democracy, you'd better put your all into it!
I know that's high pressure, but this is high stakes!

The Spanish flyer is in the next post.

Trump’s proven he’d rather shut down the gov than stop health insurance premiums from soaring by thousands of dollars a year from millions of hardworking Americans. He’s taking away health care from 14+millions to keep those huge tax breaks for the super rich.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

In town near me, a 13 yo was abducted by ICE and sent to a facility in Virginia. He is sleeping on a concrete floor with an aluminum sheet for a blanket, and is being held with adults. He calls his mother crying. I can’t imagine how traumatized this child is. 1/

The Donald Trump villain squad cut the Special Education office in Department of Education.

“The agency cut nearly everyone who works to administer federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act”

This is foul. Even for them.

When will we finally let go of the idea that we have no responsibility for others and that our successes and well-being is all just ourselves. “Pull yourself up by the bootstraps” is just 🐂💩.

When masked secret police are crashing into cars & violently pulling women out & beating them to a pulp with no warrant, answering to no one, this isn't democracy!

We have 1 chance to retake power—Prop 50!

If you care about our country, VOLUNTEER or DONATE.

Timeline Qatar, Idaho:
Source: @thegodpodcast.com
A 🧵:

Step 1: 2017.
POTUS Trump calls Qatar “a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Step 2: 2017: Later that same year.
He sells Qatar $12 billion worth of F-15 fighter jets.
