The regime’s approach to Venezuela continues to be the purest expression of Trump’s authoritarian ambitions.
Venezuela has become the Trump regime’s comfort atrocity. And it’s only a matter of time before it gets even worse. Possibly far worse. Possibly very fast.
Trump's illegal war on Venezuela is a sneak attack on our freedom
We must force to Congress debate and vote on it.

While Maryland Gov. Moore posted about Trans Day of Rememberance, his state was torturing a trans woman by denying her hormones and housing her with men--according to her lawyer--for 2 months.
All of this for "hate crime" charges from alleged vandalism of a trans symbol near a Catholic school.

I have a plan to save movie theaters and it’s gonna work:
Double-price for phone-friendly showings. You can have your phone out the entire time, make calls, talk, bring young active children without fear of being judged.
Half-price for silent showings. Phone use gets you banned for six months.
