“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done,” journalist Garrett Graff wrote: “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

The world knows the US is being run by a madman.An immature, hateful, greedy, racist, in fact. The saddest part is we do not have a single branch of government functioning in the people's interest. The world's once great democracy is no more. It is our struggle to get control and rebuild.

President Trump has moved to take control of Venezuela’s oil production, claiming that increasing output will lower prices for consumers. A petroleum engineer explains what it would take to extract and process the type of oil found in Venezuela.
Drilling Into The Details Of Venezuela's Oil
Not all oil is created equal. What does it take to extract and refine the "heavy" type of oil found in Venezuela? And what is it used for?

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

Trump and his whole government are known liars. From POTUS, to the whole cabinet, to the entire rank and file. All shameless liars.

Nobody outside the cult buying the "ICE agent suffered internal bleeding" lie. They're so bad at this.

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.
