Dear President Trump (or dear leader, if you prefer):
Know that unprovoked military attacks on Venezuela will not distract me from our crashing economy, frustrated angry farmers, federal firings, unfunded social programs, ICE militia or the Epstein files.

Enlisting OUR Navy to murder people on boats off the coast of North or Central America is 100% wrong. Coast Guard maybe, Navy no! Drug smuggling is not punishable by death in the US! No evidence has been provided connecting the people murdered with drugs. Its a pretext to remove Maduro from power.

It sounds like the far right wing of the Young Republicans are in a battle with less extreme members for control of the organization. Without additional push back by less extreme members it would become a Hitler leaning white Christian Nationalist party.

With all the hype about Portland, Hegseth lecturing our top brass, & Trump ordering our Navy to murder people, its time for this again. I don't know if this is correct number for other branches of military but sure they can direct callers to correct number for assistance.
Thanks to Cian.

Push back works in many cases. It helps to have people who are doing the detailed grunt work of watching what your local government is doing day to day. In red leaning central WA State locals stopped Health District from calling ICE in on food handlers.

Attorney's working for Trump are warned to get malpractice insurance. I haven't verified this so let me know if this is in error.

Every administration attorney who brings trumped-up charges against anyone needs to be reviewed by their home state bar association for wasting the court's time & whatever other charges are appropriate.

I realize there's a lot going on but I don't understand why very few are covering President Gustavo Petro's final speech to the UN General Assembly? The American delegation walked out because he likened Trump to Hitler. He also called for armed UN troops to stop genocide in Gaza. This is possible.
