Calling all my UK friends! If you can make it please go to the protest! Wave some Ukrainian flags, wave some banners & make your voice heard!
Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.
Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.
This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

The military and federal law enforcement are occupying our nations capital in a brazen display of petty authoritarianism and no one is doing anything about it. There are no protests, there are no politicians or institutions speaking up.

This 20 seconds is pure art. It’s like the essence of Trump - the fraud, the lies, the simplistic idiocy - is reduced to its singularity.
Nothing in high office, anywhere, will ever be this stupid again.
