We need to call everyone in Congress that represents you and others .
They cannot kill, beat, molest and rape in Portland this week.

I used to think people cheering the guillotine in the French Revolution were savage.
Now I see what happens when injustice rots a society from within

At a minimum

Their flag is our flag -torn, tattered, and desecrated by their own hands.
They wrap themselves in it while violating everything it stands

Portland traffic cameras at this exact minute.

Nothing is burning.

Keep calling. Keep pushing. They need to be forced to do their fucking jobs.
If our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers could stand up to fascism, so can we.
This is our fight now. 🇺🇸✊

Mitch McConnell is a traitor to this country

She’s an insurrectionist and that honor will be reversed when this is over.

My family has fought in every war starting with the Revolutionary War and served in peacetime, generation after generation ready to defend this country.
And now a 5x draft dodger, from a family of crooks who’ve only been here three generations, wants to be king?
Give me a damn break. 🇺🇸

He forgot Russia rigged that election for him

I get more committed with every passing day…because I’ve made the decision to do so. Don’t over-complicate this. Our mental and emotional direction, by default…will sway with the environment. Simple DECISIONS, however…direct it where we want it to go. This, you control; if you choose. #Facts.

YES, we shoe up again and again and again and again

At least now we see where our tax dollars go, to prop up the corrupt insurance industry.
They’re modern money-changers, dictating care and destroying lives while CEOs make $20M+ a year.
We’d save billions and countless lives with Medicare for All. 💙

They’re deep in totalitarianism now where lies replace truth and cruelty becomes policy.
And we’re witnessing, in real time and in our Hispanic communities, the banality of evil Arendt warned us about.

If the Democratic Party is “done,” then so is America’s experiment in democracy.
We live in a duopoly, if one party collapses while the other embraces authoritarianism, the whole system fails.
Reform it, yes. Abandon it, and the country is finished.
If it fails, we don’t get a revolution we get ruin

We can’t wait for them to wake up . we keep organizing, calling, writing, and voting.
Totalitarianism grows when people give up or look away.
This is our country and our future.
Evil spreads through silence. We stop it by showing up together again and again. 💙
It’s worth the effort.

This is totalitarianism:
when state power uses fear, force, and surveillance against its own citizens instead of protecting them.
Hannah Arendt defined it as a system where individuality and law disappear & only obedience remains.
We’re watching it unfold. #Democracy

This is terrorism.

They want violence so they can justify a crackdown.Don’t take the bait.
Treason has a narrow legal meaning & we’re not there, but they’re acting illegally and unconstitutionally.
The answer is turnout. Midterms & Nov 4 matter more than ever. #Vote
Call Congress.Join a phone bank . Protest. Postcards

We need a National Strike but I don’t see that happening anytime soon

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) went on Fox News and explained the consequences of Trump’s government shutdown in one minute.

Thanks for the article, it’s more than alarming

Right, that’s the American brand of exceptionalism = rules for everyone else. Even if verdicts aren’t enforceable, the optics matter. Global shame can be a form of pressure

If they deport, jail, or destroy everyone they call “undesirable,” they’ll still find enemies, because their movement needs one.
Once the scapegoats are gone, they’ll turn on each other.
Nothing works. There’s no society left to sustain them. #DefendDemocracy
We become a “Failed State”

Using massive Medicaid and Medicare fraud.
