California democrat. Painfully earnest introvert--the worst combination. I believe in showing up. Trying to make sense of this world and be happy at the same time.

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

This is Nazi rhetoric, full stop. It's not only a call to instigate a race war in the United States, but it's reminiscent of historic European justifications used to incite pogroms against Jews. People who say things like this are incredibly dangerous, as there is nothing they won't eventually do.

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

More corruption. During her time as DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem gave over $900 MILLION in contracts to companies led by one of her political donors. This included the purchase of multiple luxury jets well above market value.   Every penny of their corruption must be investigated.
