I support LGBTQ+ rights, and the control of one's own body.

Trump's agents have been snatching people off the streets without due process — and over 170 US citizens have been caught in the mix. Outrageous and unacceptable. The lawlessness must end.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

With attacks on speedboats in the Caribbean Sea, President Trump has ordered the summary execution of people who may not have committed the crime of which he accused them, the editorial board says. “It is a violation of legal due process that should alarm all Americans.”

Even if the allegations are correct, blowing up the boats is a lawless exercise in the use of deadly force.

Trump punishing law firms that represent his “political enemies” demands far more attention! Trump has now weaponized the federal government to punish two well known Democratic law firms. Unless there is a backlash, Trump will go even further. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-puni...

This fantastic piece by Stewart Patrick is an excellent summary of the wrecking ball that Trump is taking to the entire international order crafted by Dem & Repub presidents over 80 yrs.

That would be a no.
