Yet another display of American aggression in pursuit of oil.
Let's make Trump understand that we won't sit by and see more regime change for the sake of Chevron's profit margin.
Hands off Venezuela!

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.

The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.
