There’s a strong arm robbery of the American republic occurring and I’m on the case! Retired NYPD Detective. Never give in to these fascists and fear not- Good will always triumph over evil!

I think the mistake everyone is making is in not recognizing that trump is forging a new alliance w/Russia and China on power.He wants to be a real strongman leader like them.
They’ll be divvying up the world and who then can stop it? Our traditional allies know this is happening.

Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent.

All while he continues to nominate bigots and dine with Holocaust deniers.

It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.

If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.
