Has anyone else noticed that the really bad guys in movies and tv are no longer China, Russia or religious nuts, they are corporations and oligarchs?

Doug Collins told the Senate he doesn’t have a list of the VA contracts he cut. But earlier this year? He was waving it around on camera.

He’s not confused. He’s lying—and hoping no one notices while Veterans get screwed.

Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:

“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

Trump hates vets, plain and simple. Why some support him is a mystery. I hope when he calls up troops, most will remember moves like this.

The Lincoln Project just dropped another hammer on the GOP’s fascist flank—and they’re right.

If you trample the Constitution, shred due process, and treat humans like pawns, you’re the *lawless* one.

Actions have consequences. The law *is* the law.

Here’s my ask of you today:

I want you to engage with EVERY article/post you see about Signalgate. Like, comment, share. Every one.

The reason why the media kept talking about Hillary’s emails was because every story & post about it got massive engagement.

Sound good?

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?

To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

This where we are. The United States is no longer trusted, and in my mind….it can’t be.
