Everyone should be involved This Year... The 1st primaries are less than 2 months away 🇺🇸 Arkansas, North Carolina, Texas. We don't need to live in these states. Get involved. Every seat up & down the ballot is important... some critical. Learn lots about each candidate. Help where we can. 🇺🇸
The hearts and minds of the people are on our side. We will do everything we can to seek justice.

We will fight with peaceful expression, in court, through public debate, and at the ballot box.

Keep the peace. And keep the faith.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

I went out to shoot the rising moon tonight but unfortunately clouds obscured everything. So as a consolation, here is the moon setting this morning over our town. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

For months, a segment of President Trump’s political base has been complaining that he has spent too much time on foreign policy and too little on America’s economic anxieties. His announcement on Saturday that the U.S. would “run” Venezuela for an indefinite period is adding fuel to that fire.
In Toppling Maduro, Trump Risks Blowback from ‘America First’ Base
President Trump’s pledge that the United States would “run” Venezuela for an indefinite period showed he is willing to enter foreign conflicts he once promised to end.
