We need to be aware of all the ways in which some are seeking to replace voters with dollars. We need to speak out, to demonstrate, to protest. How ironic it would be for American Democracy to die on its 250th birthday!(6/6)

This trend is obviously already underway. What can any of us do to stop it? We need to act quickly. Right now as the midterms approach. We need to elect individuals who believe in the power of the people and will stand up to those who are trying to eliminate it. (5)

But the amounts that are being accumulated and the way that donations can be related to governmental actions far exceeds what we have seen before. What we see today could be a tipping point for a shift away from any meaningful citizen participation in political decision making. (4)

Is that why Trump and friends are no longer focusing on what the American citizens think and more on increasing family wealth and billionaire support? The release of Trumps’ financial report documents what many of us have been observing. Of course, there has always been money in politics. (3)

Is government becoming irrelevant? The combination of the president’s income report and his alleged birthday party is just too much for me to tolerate. Does politics still matter? Is money rather than votes becoming the criteria for obtaining power?

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.
