Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Agent Krasnov, aka the DonOld, showed his subservience to Putin several years ago.

Makes sense he rolled out the red carpet in Alaska to him.

Makes sense he’s putting Putin’s demands in a “truce” document while ignoring Zelensky’s needs.

Our “president” who mocks our Constitution, is a TRAITOR.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling on DHS to cease what he describes as an illegal abuse of customs law to reveal the identities of social media accounts tracking the activity of ICE agents.
Wyden Blasts Kristi Noem for Abusing Subpoena Power to Unmask ICE Watcher
“DHS apparently is trying to expose an individual’s identity in order to chill criticism of the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.”

I would add to that our own selfish greed and willingness to exploit others to get ahead plus hatred and lack of empathy.

Our government has been corrupt since the country was founded - slavery, disenfranchisement of women and people who didn't own property from the get-go.
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
