What makes me puke uncontrollably is watching police WE PAY FOR protecting traitors....I dont know where the traitors are, if they are at the site yet or not, but the GOP are no longer Americans, they are traitors actively engaged in treason and mass murder.

The time for us to act is when I said this YEARS ago about them but was told I was over the top...might be too late now.

This makes me sick, seeing maggots counter-protesting this...

It is never too late. We will win this fight.

I have to believe that.

So the Benedict Arnold of our time can get a photo op to spew NAZI propaganda in his latest hate speech.

We are now repeating Germany in 1933. Disgusting.

Trump didn't hesitate to gas his own people in Washington when he wanted a vanity op, and some of them were White.

The missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) epidemic affects Indigenous peoples in Canada and the United States, including the First Nations, Inuit, Métis (FNIM), and Native American communities. It has been described as a Canadian national crisis and a Canadian genocide. A corresponding mass movement in the U.S. and Canada works to raise awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) through organized marches, community meetings, the building of databases, local city council meetings, tribal council meetings and domestic violence trainings for police.

all police need to resign from their jobs, they cant discern or arent allowed to separate traitors (GOP) and patriots (everybody else) so they should resign.

After what Trump did to protesters in DC, he will not hesitate to do as much or worse to Native people that he has so much contempt for.

Trump, like many RWers, considers Native people national enemies and does not acknowledge that they are US citizens.

I sure hope no one (esp the protesters) get hurt.
