WAR CRIMES don’t hide SEX CRIMES 🇺🇦

#Venezuela's Orinoco River Basin holds the world's largest proven oil reserve & illegal gold mining has already destroyed roughly 185 square miles of forest since 2018. Now the orange rapist's regime is pushing to expand drilling & mining in the region.

it’s so nice to wander aimlessly
through the nooks and crannies

Morning palette in the desert. The contrast between the ancient stone and those soft, pastel clouds never gets old.

note to self: BOOK!

as an american living overseas, i lie when asked this question by telling people i’m from vancouver BC (i spent a lot of time there whilst birding so it’s a believable lie at least)

i live overseas and my last TWO votes (presidential and midterm votes) were discarded. i filed complaints with DOJ to no avail. so i voted but those votes weren’t counted. possibly true for other overseas americans too?

yes amerKKKans who flee are responsible for paying both taxes in the country where they reside as well as US income taxes if they earn more than a certain amount. low income individuals generally don’t pay US income taxes whilst living abroad.

This report completely ignores the fact that many people do not want to live in a gun crazy autocracy with a lunatic at its helm and no functioning guardrails.

A draft-dodger bringing back the draft would be sensational.

You know how it works in the capitalist Military Industrial complex societies -

Always money for warfare never money for welfare

It may be an old cliche but it also happens to be true.

DJT will never put the people first. He is creating another Caste system, and with these detention centers, will eventually attempt to capture Dems to “cleanse” the country. See the movie ORIGINS. It is VERY powerful. Germany learned from USA how to segregate and extinguish Jews. Did you know?

Trump’s illegal war will cost American lives and $1B/day we can’t afford. He’s crashing the market which will deplete your retirement savings and eliminate more jobs. Call the GOP.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
