For our #democracy, book I am reading right now. If we had elected her as President, we would not be currently disappearing immigrants and citizens without due process, performing extra judicial killings in the middle of the ocean, bullying cities with troops, & ending investments in clean energy.

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.
