This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

Citizens United was the starting place that led us to where we are today: an American oligarchy. Our forefathers never intended this! As a patriot you cannot allow billionaires to take over our country!

"In summary, President Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO and other actions threaten to weaken international health security, disrupt critical health programs, and diminish the U.S.'s role in shaping global health policies."

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

You may not believe in climate change but your insurance company does. When your payment skyrockets because organizations whose entire job is measure risk decide that your community is risky you will get that climate inaction is screwing you, personally. Not birds and butterflies. You.
