Cleaning out some old stuff and found these. What a gut punch. We were so close. The hope going into 2009 and the dream of universal healthcare possibly becoming a reality in the summer of 2009. We didn't get there, but we can't stop trying. #hope #FightFascism #universalhealthcare #Obama #dreambig

Is it a good idea to host a major event like the FIFA World Cup in a country whose secret state police hunt down innocent people, lock them in cages, or execute them in the street?

You have subpoena power. You have grand jury powers. Use them.
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?
JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

I remember an off the record call with Biden’s DOS right as Maduro got “re-elected”.. they clearly stated that US will not be recognizing the results as these have been fabricated. They recognized Gonzales as winner. To a Q on what else US could do, they said: anything but diplomacy would be illegal
