It is wrong to invite Putin to the upcoming G20, to permit him to sit at a conference table with leaders of countries he is attacking, and to pretend that he is entitled to equal status as an accepted member of the international community.

Vladimir Putin Doesn’t Belong in Florida
And if he shows up at the G20 meeting, other leaders should boycott.

Constitutions are mostly paper until citizens insist the rules matter. Voting is one of the quieter ways to make that insistence heard. Plan ahead, vote early, and give procrastination the day off. #VoteEarlyOnNoKings

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

So, government officials can shoot first and stay out of prison after killing someone. But a citizen gets charged and tried—with excuses evaluated at trial. ICE is a lawless evil terrorist gang. The ICE goon in Maine should be jailed, charged & put on trial. WE ALL SAW THIS SENSELESS BRUTAL MURDER.
