Trump just declared Venezuelan airspace “closed” and is now teasing strikes “very soon.” This isn’t foreign policy it’s a countdown to another reckless war.
Buckle up: he’s itching to light a match in Venezuela to look “strong”!

Trumps entrance to We Are the World, the song produced specifically to raise money to fight famine in Africa, is the biggest middle finger to anyone not in that ballroom — f’ing disgusting.
He cut USAID and burned 500 tons of food. The projected death toll from his cruel policies are unimaginable.

Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
