This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Way to go, Washington. Way to go, Governor Ferguson.

The Epstein case is not some distraction - it's about the central problem in our society: elite impunity.

America has become an accountability-free zone for the rich, powerful & famous, and we're all harmed by that.

Whining about decorum to protect corruption from exposure is called gas lighting. Calling the black lady crazy is standard, but she IS LITERALLY ALWAYS right and I hope she knows we have her back. @whitehouse.senate.gov I’m happy to see you posting this. Thank you.
