American citizens, most of whom have no formal weapons training, are being forced to stand up against armed masked men with at least some weapons training and the federal authority to shoot at will.

The military swore an oath to protect against domestic enemies.

Where the fuck is the military?

Since Ken Sim was elected, dozens of downtown businesses have closed and Sim blames everyone but himself.
These businesses are struggling due to public safety concerns and unprecedented property tax increases.

Even if Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro somehow led to a positive impact on Venezuela’s future, it would not make these actions by the United States legal, moral or wise.

Normalising and legitimising this behaviour endangers all countries - democracies and dictatorships alike.

So this piece of crap squatting in the White House has decided to engage us in war to gain oil. This is not about drugs. This is about control. This is about him not being held accountable for his crimes. How much does it take until we act against him?

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?
