Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar?

He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world:
He imposes taxes on us without our consent:
He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Tell your congressperson…

Tell them we are NOT ok with any marginalized community losing rights.

Tell them you want women to be able to make decisions about their own bodies and their healthcare.

Tell them you want freedom of religion, or from religion.

Whatever you need to say, say it now.

Trump hugged the flag, then stabbed veterans in the back. Cutting 80,000 VA jobs won’t improve services-it’s a betrayal of those who served. Veterans kept
their promise, why won’t he? Read more:

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
