He has already succeeded. My 82 year old father will forgo his COVID vaccination this year "because the government said I don't have to". Hopefully past vaccinations will hold him in good stead. My father is susceptible to manipulation as his world has gotten small and the TV cable news large.

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has previously said...that government shutdowns are on the president and all you need to do is get everyone in a room and have a serious conversation. And they're refusing to do that. They are holding people's healthcare hostage."

When this all started, my youngest came home and said that since he was the biggest in his class, he would be the one locking the door. My heart aches for all parents

Resist with the truth. Join your community for No Kings. #Resist

Someone who thinks that dagging children from their homes in the dark of night & zip tying them, assaulting priests, & violating American's rights....makes "jesus smile" is someone who is a bad person, not an "avenging angel".

Those who join ice are abusive cowards.

I encourage you to watch or re-watch “U.S. and the Holocaust,” a masterful three-part docuseries by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein.

An anti-democratic and fascist extremist element is nothing new. Neither is ignoring it or its horrors.

#WeThePeople stopped it— #ForThePeople.

LET’S GO!
