This Black Friday weekend, I’m skipping Amazon, Target, and Home Depot and shifting my spending to the people building real community.
What local businesses are you supporting instead? Tag them—I want to help boost as many as possible.

George W Bush’s administration found lawyers to justify torturing prisoners
Now Trump found lawyers to justify murdering fisherman they say are smuggling drugs
This is why Mark Kelly and his colleagues made the video telling troops to follow only legal orders
And why Trump threatened to kill them

While I don’t believe the conspiracy theories that Trump is a Russian asset, it’s obvious Trump defers to Putin-whether it’s due to kompromat, cowardice, ignorance or mere admiration for tyrants
Plus he probably doesn’t care what happens to Ukraine or Russia
He just wants credit for ending the war

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

Are all politicians the same?
Not one Republican lawmaker is standing up for the Constitution, for due process & for human rights.
It's only Democratic lawmakers standing up for democracy, for rule of law & against #ICELawlessness, injustice & corruption.
Let your kids know there is a difference!

Trump’s anti-vaxers may soon end the U.S. status as having eliminated measles. The CDC has confirmed 1,723 cases this year. Countries lose their elimination status, which we’ve held for 25 years, after 12 months of sustained transmission. The U.S., will reach that deadline at the end of 01/2026.

The only person who thinks the contrary is a 34-count convicted felon, who wouldn't pay himself for the crime committed by the soldier.

Reminder - all the people in the video did was remind the military that it is their duty to refuse ILLEGAL orders. That's what the UCMJ and Constitution require. That's like saying they should remember to breath.
They did nothing wrong.
The President can't say the same.

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power.
This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

If you believe Trump is sane, then Congress has the power to impeach.
If you believe he's not sane, then we have the 25th Amendment.
Either way - people in Congress and the Cabinet swore an oath. It's time to uphold it.

Agreeing with MTG is not on my bingo card and I don’t think this makes her a good person or worth electing to any office.
But agree with her, I do.
For more reasons than this, the men currently in the presidency and in line of succession are traitors to America, not patriots.
