My latest: the ‘peace plan’ is a violation of international law. It uses the threat of continued starvation and child imprisonment as leverage. That constitutes yet another war crime.

"No Kings—except BB, Albert and Freddie"
Here's a quick message of support for everyone who's out there at the #NoKings demonstrations today.
I would amend that, however, to "No Kings except BB, Albert and Freddie King." They represent the best of the USA.
