They are literally abducting people from their cars.

This is at the same Speedway gas station in St. Paul, MN, where they dragged a man off like a sack of potatoes.

Look at the brutality and violence they are using here.

“Mr. Trump suggested that Democrats were “losers” for questioning the ethics of the move.” Just like he’s getting away with selling his Trump coin. The Supreme Court only exempted official acts from criminal liability.

Cory Booker's floor speech began at 7PM. Midnight now, still going strong.

Fascism = dehumanization.

It's fueled by sadism, based on cruelty, & sees others as less than human.

At this moment: Booker & Chris Murphy showing their humanity is 💯 fascism's antidote.

Whether they even realize it.

Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
