Donald Trump is risking the lives of our troops, the safety of the American people, the stability of the world economy, and blowing a billion dollars a day based on whims, feelings, and contradictions. His incompetency is dangerous and destructive.

Trump on service members getting killed in his war: “That’s the way it is.” Trump when his country called for him to serve: I have bone spurs. Trump’s sons: We’re too busy making billions off daddy’s presidency in the Middle East to waste time as a sucker and loser.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

So if an Irish Citizen who lived and worked in USA for 20 years, married to a US citizen can be snatched & thrown into overcrowded internment camp, rife with disease, on starvation rations, intimidated by guards.. I can’t go to USA as an Irish Tourist I might join him or maybe shot as a terrorist 🤷🏼‍♂️

Seamus Culleton, who has been living in the US for almost 20 years and is married to a US citizen, said "I don't know how much more I can take", it's "torture".

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Tonight’s sunset. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Ocean Beach, San Diego, California #SanDiego #sunset #OceanBeach #landscapelovers #surfing
Silhouette of a surfer carrying a surfboard along wet sand at low tide, with a long pier stretching across the horizon. A dense red cloud layer fills most of the sky, breaking into blue near the right edge, while orange light glows near the horizon and reflects in the shallow water.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Why Is the American Diet So Deadly?
A scientist tried to discredit the theory that ultra-processed foods are killing us. Instead, he overturned his own understanding of obesity.
