Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

The US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. A reporter asked Trump what happens to the oil.
Trump: "We keep it, I guess"
But its not just the US that steals Venezuelas resources. Our govt is holding up to $2bn of Venezuelan gold & won't give it back!

He has now officially declined my request.

This immigration enforcement is a stain on the nation. Here was a young Somali American, a citizen, who was tackled by ICE on his lunch break and they wouldn't accept his proof of citizenship and dropped him 7 miles away from his work to walk in the snow.
MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
