I would have preferred not to find out the answer to that question by experiencing it ourselves.

Sincerely, this is a terrible time in the US. Your country is not democratic. It is corrupt. Currently, money = power.
The US needs to be reimagined. More truly democratic, like Denmark & socially conscious, without eliminating creativity & business energy.
A tall order!

10th grade citizen pulled out of car and injured as his undocumented dad is also arrested by masked ICE thugs with guns drawn. Ice agent took the 10th graders cell phone. It was sold at something like a pawn shop hours later while the boy was being hospitalized for neck and spinal injuries.

ICE is detaining preschoolers. They’re breaking windows, stealing people out of their homes, forcing a U.S. citizen to walk in his underwear in freezing temperatures to a detention facility.
This isn’t the way it has to be if Congress actually exerts its muscle and says no to more ICE funding.

As the self-appointed chairman of the Board of Peace, Trump has the authority to:
- Control bank accounts
- Establish subsidiaries
- Approve missions
- Veto decisions
He will use it as an international money-laundering scheme to profit from war-torn countries.

Zero American soldiers have died in combat defending NATO countries.

Senate Republicans blocked the war powers resolution on the same day that officials from Greenland and Denmark were pleading with the U.S. not to invade. They are knowingly and willingly bringing the U.S. closer to a world war.

The rhetoric from Iranian officials labeling protesters “terrorists” and blaming them for their own deaths is indistinguishable from how the White House is talking about American protesters. Trump is just looking for an excuse to bomb Iran.
