Heartbroken by news of yet another senseless act of violence this morning at a house of worship. No American should ever fear for their safety - least of all when gathering peacefully to pray - and yet tragedies like this have become frequent.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant.
Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court.
Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene.
If they can do it to her, they can do it to you.
Speak out now!

So the trump authorized a $50,000 signing bonus and $60,000 in student loan forgiveness for joining his masked Secret Police force, which now has a budget larger than most of the world's militaries.
