Message to the grifter king from Canada:
"We will have no parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best. We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder."

Fascists, racists, & in fact, Nazis are controlling our government.
What can we do?
Avoid patronage of companies that are complying. Talk to everyone you see. Throw sand in the gears & call your Congressional Reps & demand they grow a set! 202-224-3121

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam.
There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality.
It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
