Pro-democracy geek and resister. Democracy dies in darkness and fear.
Minnesota is just a trail run for ICE being in other democratic states.

The good news is the country is turning against this insanity and Minneapolis is showing us how it’s done.❤️

Trump Derangement Syndrome is actually that every time Trump speaks he sounds deranged, and people all around the globe shake their heads in disbelief that this guy was voted in twice as POTUS.

We can’t sit back and allow America to go down the tubes, with our rights, freedom, healthcare, democracy, economy, and planet.

Call your elected officials and tell them to fight against the oligarchy, stay informed, rally, join an Indivisible or other pro-democracy group, boycott, and strike!

It didn’t take long for Donald Trump and his lackeys to make America into a third world country.

Trump looks like a shadow of his former self. And sounds like a shadow of his former self as well.

Hey America, we are a lot better than this.

A lot better than Donald J. Trump.

There is a war around the world between the autocrats and the Democrats, and our POTUS is on the side of the autocrats, because he is one.

So Trump briefed the oil companies before and after he attacked Venezuela, but never briefed Congress.

We all know who Trump works for and it’s not the American people, who are struggling big time with prices, healthcare, and housing.

If you are not embarrassed to be an American now, you may have a serious problem.

How crazy that America is attacking countries under false pretenses in order to steal their natural resources for rich American oil barrons.

It is 1880 again, in more ways than one.

It’s all about oil and the Epstein files.

Congress needs to impeach Trump. But the Republicans there are way to busy praising Trump’s illegal attack on Venezuela, which may ultimately upset the entire world order and place vulnerable countries with natural resources at great risk.

Congress-

Demand total handover of Epstein files. Allow victims to redact victims’ identities before releasing to public.

DOJ blew it; they are not up to task. Impeach/discipline Bondi.
Enough, wrap this up; let the arrests begin!

France at the UN Security Council:

"The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.

If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Some good news. About 7,000 of you helped raise more than $1 million for drone-jamming automobiles that are helping medics saving lives on the front in Ukraine. This campaign was a huge success. Thanks to all of you good and generous people.
