Trump's looking a bit weak right now. Time to get off the bench.

Call 202-224-3121 and give Congress a piece of your mind on appeasing Putin. Tell them real Americans don't bow to KGB weasels.

Do it now!

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

How much louder can the ‘signals’ get… the person objecting to people being reminded to follow the law above allegiance to a person has the power to arrest you and hang you …

GOP? Still silent? How is your silence being a patriot of our democracy?
Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

Freedom of speech or incitement of violence? …a fine line… but since 2015 the rhetoric has been aimed to foster hate & fire up anger. Jan6? Tweets were direct ‘messaging’ to his crowd. They knew exactly what he expected them to do.

HELLO GOP… when is it enough for you to step up?
This scene happens again & again. Maybe Trump unleashed the madness, but YOU are allowing it to continue. It’s nothing less than terrorism against the people.
The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

Remind you of anything in history?
Whether you’re in favour of stricter immigration rules or not, literally stealing from asylum seekers is a deeply inhuman policy.

How many innocent people are getting swept up in unlawful arrests in this administration’s policies? Can you believe data coming from the govt? IMO they twist numbers to fit

73% of current detainees have no criminal convictions according to the tracker shown below.

We have lost our humanity…
This does NOT make us ‘great again’!
ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

Remember next time you think that a rich ‘business man’ is qualified to lead.

The people who have been telling you what to think & how to feel are the very same ones who look the other way & supported Epstein, who conspire w/ other wealthy individuals to lie, cheat & steal from the American people

Who says you can’t make big changes?

Ken Burns’ American Revolution- women of the colonies deemed patriots, protested British taxes by NOT buying British goods. Instead they spun wool for fabric, made teas from herbs… End result? Abolished unfair taxes.

All this could have been avoided if only a presidential candidate had to pass a security clearance in order to be on the ballot. Is that so hard?

Excellent discovery of improper conduct. Enough for disbarment?

If she is disbarred then perhaps the next unqualified attorney will think twice about doing dear leader’s bidding without following legal and proper process.
🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors admitted Wednesday that the grand jury handling the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey never reviewed or voted on the final indictment used to charge him — a virtually unprecedented revelation that could topple the entire case.

I’m SICK of men protecting men against justice. It enables the sickest of the sick to continue to act with impunity
The article refers to the 2008 conviction (solicitation prostitution) but Alex Acosta made a secret non prosecution agreement w Epstein. several victims were waiting for justice, this NPA ended their cases. Rich powerfully men have been assisting Epstein for decades.

The review found no "professional misconduct" by U.S. Attorney's Office then led by ex- Labor Secretary.
