Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

I voted once for Trump in 2016 - I've learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine... ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they're doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.

Trump’s “mass deportation” is not deportation at all.
When people are captured without due process, that's kidnapping. When they’re sent to another country against their will, that's human trafficking. When they're put in a prison with no way to get out, that's a concentration camp.
