One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say. Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

The military is not a police force, and should never be deployed in American communities against their will. That the President doesn't understand this (or simply doesn't care) shows just how grossly unfit for office he is.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

The commodification of human life—in sickness and health—is one of the most disgusting injustices of the dystopian times in which we live. Thank you to the courageous doctors speaking out against cruel and greedy insurance corporations like United Health. #MedicareForAll Forever.
