1/ Find the Hands Off event closest to you. Show ‘em you’re mad as hell and you’re not going to take it anymore. Save democracy. Save freedom of speech.

So when do we start chanting “Lock them up!” Good thing Jeffrey Goldberg kept the receipts on what he received when and from whom.

My country isn’t free
Losing our Liberty
Trump thinks he’s king
Land where our fathers die
Land where our children cry
All for his evil lies
Stop kissing the ring!

history. We are Lex Luthor, The Joker, Big Brother, Mr. Potter, SS guards and every dictator who has strutted across the pages of history. We are now partnered with Putin and have abandoned decades of support for democracy in the world. Congratulations to Trump world for “sticking it to the libs”.

If our guvment (tRump Muskrat) isn’t spending our money on the goods and services (think USAID for one) our representatives in Congress have approved and allocated, why should we continue to pay federal taxes? The only language they speak is money

I refuse to call this travesty “an administration”. Administration implies order, cohesiveness, a combination of experience and knowledge. All the opposite of what this is. It is a regime at best, a reich in the making. Resist the Borg. It is not futile yet

Going through “years of legal maneuvering”….you mean like all his years of delay, delay, delay…deny, deny, deny in every legal case he’s been involved in? The hypocrisy is strong in this one
