Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted.
Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

It will be worth noting which politicians Wal-Mart pays for and how they move wrt SNAP since Wal-Mart is set to lose billions if they don’t fund SNAP. Because guess which company actually gets 25% of SNAP payouts, as well as underpays their employees to the extent that a large chuck need SNAP?

people who claim that if they are asked to pay a penny more in tax then the economy will collapse, suddenly find billions to finance election campaigns or pander to the vanity of politicians and they expect us to believe they’re just philanthropic gifts with no expectations of something in return.

It’s so easy to feel powerless right now. I get it. We may indeed not have the power to do some things. But we can donate to a food bank. Volunteer. Foster an animal. Seek to find opportunities to give genuine compliments. Get sleep so we can think more clearly. Create art. This too is fighting.
