The U.S. has conducted 19 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing at least 76 people.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people.

The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge.

Guess what happened next...

Trump and his lackeys want to divide us.

They want white people to blame Black and Latino people for every tragedy. And they want Black and Latino people to react not only with hurt but with justifiable anger.

We must not let them win.
