If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

They are just so blatantly corrupt. With each passing day, new details show just how morally bankrupt the govt has become and how they do not believe in the laws of this country. Our laws and adherence to them made us a great nation and these people want to tear them down for gold, god and glory.
@nytimes.com reports Pentagon lawyers even floated sending survivors to El Salvador’s CECOT prison to keep them out of US courts
Why? A court case would force the Trump admin to show its legal & factual justification for these strikes
That’s why we @democracydefendersfund.org filed our complaint👇

MRI’s are diagnostic - they are used by doctors to look for something specific.

Mr Witkoff is simply a traitor…
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
