California took tangible steps. Now Illinois and New York will probably need to step up too.

As Trump gets ready to invade Chicago on fabricated grounds, the Illinois Governor and Attorney General should be readying court action to stymie and make it as difficult as possible.

It has always been thus. Most people in Nazi Germany got up and went on with their lives as they could. (And yes, it’s strange.)

I still live my life too. I also support how I am able. I contribute to those defending the rights of migrants, march in protest, and vote against those in power.

There were 77,302,580 reasons why Trump was elected. To the best of my knowledge, not one of them was named Joe Biden.

Joe Biden was old and could have more vigorously pursued his agenda. He could have treated Trump like the criminal he was and had him arrested him after he stole the classified records

He could have done a lot of things. But Trump ran a candidacy of lies, and most everyone stood by and let him.

Democrats frustrate me too, but blaming them for not perfectly fixing everything the Fascist breaks is an absurd double standard. It isn’t Democrat’s job to make sure people know what is true and what’s not, or that Trump is doing stupid things, the media should be helping with that!

Democrats countering the criminal measures of Republicans to ensure the at the 60% (!!!) of the country who disapprove of the current direction is have some level of say in their governance is patriotism.

Go Democrats!
