Let’s not forget all of the other crap that king Donald has been up to. Selling pardons seems to be flourishing alongside his imperialist desires and autocratic ambitions.

There are 3 coequal branches of gov’t. Congress is failing to reign in the Executive. The Executive is ignoring the Courts. And who suffers as a result? We all do, but some more than others.

The America First movement was spearheaded by Charles Lindbergh who turned out to be a Nazi supporter. Today we’re experiencing a rebirth of the same messaging that preceded WWII as the Nazi propaganda machine went into high gear to keep the US out of the war in Europe.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.
If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.
In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.
