My friend Tina Smith is right, we need to stop what is happening in Minnesota now, not just because of the danger it’s creating, but if we don’t Trump’s slide toward authoritarianism will continue.

Trump is a Nazi
Trump:

"Two percent of the population causes 90% of the crime. So when you start decimating that two percent - boom."

Saw some video of this city Council meeting.

I thought for sure she was detained and her phone taken. So glad there is so much footage they can’t deny it or spin it. Straight up executed.

Coretta Scott King and MLK's daughter, Bernice King's advice for the coming six months:

2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone;
3. Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn’t work;

This is yesterday at Dilley, TX, where detained children like Liam, (the 5-year-old ICE detained last week), are being held. Attorney Eric Lee shot this after being denied access to his client. His client is mom to 5 kids! The youngest are 4 year old twins.
