"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." —MLK Jr.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

Pedo-pig not only is attempting to start a war and pull America from NATO. He offered Putin a position on the Gaza “Peace Board”.

If Americans still can’t see the treason and espionage playing out….see a therapist. Get him the f*ck out. If you took an oath to the Constitution, start shining.

Donald Trump is so obviously a puppet President.
Taking Greenland was NEVER apart of his campaign. Neither was Venezuela. He ran on Releasing the Epstein Files, ending the Russian War on Ukraine, Day #1, tariffs and immigration. MAGA has the biggest Puppet President in US history and they LOVE him.

Yesterday I went back to Broadview for the first time since being federally indicted to stand in solidarity with the hundreds of people who braved the cold to speak with one voice:

Abolish ICE.

THIS IS THE DEMS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD:

"Trump rejects even a whiff of constraint. “I don’t need international law,” He dares the world to stop or even slow him."

"At stake... claiming God-like omnipotence, to kidnap and kill, bully and bomb without limit."

We must demand that all political candidates running for office in the Midterms must publicly swear to repeal Citizens United, Support Term limits, stack the USSC, have public congressional hearings & the creation of Non-Partisan Civilian/Military Tribunals with investigative and subpoena powers.

I never knew that Grouch Marx and Dennis Hopper made a generation gap drama (!!) back in 1962. Marx is a concerned father trying to talk Dennis out of marrying his 17 year old daughter played by Hopper’s wife Brooke Hayward. I’m trying to picture Groucho playing Nicholson’s part in “Easy Rider!”

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

The disturbing part of Renee Good's murder is that medical findings from emergency responders indicate Good suffered four gunshot wounds: two to the right chest, one to the left forearm, and one to the left side of the head. Did ICE put her out of her misery after the initial head wound?
