Who’s authorized to stop it? People need to take charge NOW. In any case US Govt is in shut-down mode.
Canada is more than an ally — they’re family to Michigan. We share bridges, lakes, and livelihoods. A trade war hurts workers on both sides of the border. Time to stop this war and restore trust. 🌉🇨🇦🇺🇸

I attended a No Kings rally with thousands of Americans. I did not see Hamas supporters or terrorists. Instead, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Whites, Gays & immigrants coming together to protest the corruption, hate & vitriol promoted by tRump and his lackeys.

After a record-breaking protest against Trump yesterday, and his $40 million ego parade flopped hard, he’s lashing out, targeting Democratic cities, ignoring the fact that red cities protested too.
