it's funny how this reveals that they've never read any of the classic feminist texts, aren't familiar with feminist history & have no record within the movement

Electing Trump the first time could have been seen as an aberration, a quirk of US politics that would not be repeated. But electing him a second time sent a clear signal to the rest of the world that it is imperative to reduce military and economic dependence on the US because it is unstable.

Sign the Petition Remove Pete Hoekstra as US ambassador to Canada. Let's send Pete Packing!

c.org/X2bsNMFmkw I am deeply troubled by presence of Pete Hoekstra as US ambassador to our great country. This is more than just a diplomatic positionβ€”it’s a role that requires respect, tact & understanding of our shared history and values. Hoekstra demonstrates NONE of these qualities.

I would like to say Midterms may help us but unfortunately despite the people telling me he can't openly interfere in an election I feel he is going to try his best to do just that. And Congress will allow it.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

IMPERIALISM US, Israel want regime change in other sovereign nation. Political & media elites will mask the attack with familiar lies, saying the West is liberating people of Iran, when in reality, it has been suffocating Iranians with brutal economic sanctions for years.
