The president of the United States of America asked the SCOTUSA to sanction starving American children, disabled, and our elders. Sink your teeth into that Maganuts.

Why are they torturing people over access to food? What has become of this nation's leaders that they cannot fulfill a basic responsibility of governing to keep its citizens fed? This is not the United States of America when the president is president only for the rich and entitled.

Sometimes introverts need to recharge their social batteries for an entire weekend. If you can't find us, don't worry. We are fine.

When you’re feeling hopeless, as I sometimes do, it’s important to remember that mass submission is a necessary component of tyranny, and small acts of resistance are still acts of rebellion.
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Trump is a short sighted imbecile. Foreign students are flocking to universities in China & Hong Kong. The best brains in the USA are leaving for other countries, where their skills will be appreciated. As a former ESL instructor at both Hosei & Waseda Universities in Tokyo, Japan, I am concerned.

The shut down emphasizes the total ineptitude & cruelty of the Trump administration. It's doing more harm than good & a growing populist movement is against it & Trump.

Now is not the time for complacency. Bask in the wins, but remain vigilant and act when called upon. In fact don't wait to be called upon, step up when and where it's needed.

Today feels especially sad to me. I'm truly mourning for my country & fellow citizens. Food deprivation is an act of war against us all. No American deserves this cruelty. Americans did not fight wars and die for their progeny to suffer at the hands of their own country's leaders. Remove him.

King Charles showed Trump what a real king can do. Brilliant move by the king and makes the pedophiles in the USA Congress and their pedophile in chief, Trump look really bad. Begs the question why Trump hasn't been stripped of his title and removed from the WH?
