Liberal leaning progressive. Make no mistake - the opposition is militant, arrogant, and celebrates cruelty. We're going to have to step-up our game.
No DMs pls - they're ignored.

it's somewhat entertaining when a stupid f* like trump calls people "stupid", or when he says "you're the worst..." to someone asking about his crimes or incompetence. the irony is just f*n cartoonish.

republicans fear trump's base so much that they're willing to burn it all down and destroy our democracy, economy, and general welfare.

The danger is not just for Venezuelans, it sets a precedent that any administration can engineer a foreign confrontation to justify suspending civil liberties, accelerating mass deportations, or targeting immigrant communities under the guise of “national security.” This all sounding familiar?
