I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Trump’s drug wars:
In 9 months, he’s threatened to attack Mexico and annex Canada.
He started a tariff battle with China over fentanyl, bombed Colombian fishermen and is now gearing up to strike Venezuela.
There is no end game.
He’s just a bully. With an army. Looking for someone to push around.

After his 8647 post, Comey and his wife were followed by unmarked law enforcement from North Carolina back to their home.
Agents were waiting at his house, and they tracked his phone the whole way.
That’s a high level surveillance operation for someone who clearly isn’t a threat.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
