Trump claims “there are only two sexes” & he’s going to round up & deport all undocumented immigrants. We have a duty to our trans & undocumented brothers and sisters.

So, let’s do this about that:

FROM TODAY FORWARD, ALL OUR PRONOUNS ARE THEY/THEM AND WE ARE ALL UNDOCUMENTED.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

I love my country enough to risk its wrath by drawing attention to the negative things we don't always want to see. And that can be risky and you have to pay for that.

Good Morning Beautiful Blue Nation,

Proud of our young activists putting their flesh on the line against the ice holes! I'm going to watch me some instructional video's for painting with traditional tempera and wait for fresh hell reports from DC... or an obituary.

Check back in at noon!

You hang in there. We're ALL very PISSED OFF at the nerve of these %ucks and the trouble they are causing.

I promise you, and it's going to take a little more time but this will be biting them in the ass. There's 220 million people that didn't vote for this. We OUTNUMBER them.

This is the best thing I’ve read on this subject.

“This is setting us up for the Insurrection Act,” Dr. Jason Stanley warns of Trump's authoritarian tactics in cities across America. “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening. This is the moment.” What’s needed now, he adds, is full-scale nonviolent resistance. #Velshi

In a stark warning, Dr. Jason Stanley says America is entering a dangerous period with President Trump’s growing rhetoric against the so-called “radical left” and “domestic terrorists.” “I think we are facing the moment in which a coup is happening,” Stanley warns. “This is the moment,” he says, and adds that what’s needed now is full-scale, nonviolent resistance.
