Truth. Congress is abdicating its duty to country at this point. The majority is acting less like a check-and-balance on the executive and more like Trump's lackey. Or perhaps a sinister puppet master. No matter, regardless of the reason, those who blindly support Trump and his sick consolidation of authoritarian power, are effectively committing treason against the country. And the majority of the GOP has become morally bankrupt, a mockery of the values it once claimed, a decaying and rancid shadow of what once was a legitimate counter-narrative to a liberal reflection on the state of the world. History will not forget how, instead of rising to the occasion to excise the malignant cancer that was growing within its ranks, the Republican Party let it utterly consume it.

Facebook Post 2-8-17: On Congress Censuring Sen. Elizabeth Warren
I just don't understand how a politician can lack so much self-awareness? Particularly in these charged times, how could McConnell *not* know this would blow up in his face? A man from the majority, in-power party telling a woman from the minority party to basically shut up while she was voicing dissent. And he did so in a particularly condescending manner. The optics of the situation alone would make a PR person cringe. I'm no Warren fan girl, but she is an elected representative of The People, and as such, she has the right to speak in The People's representative assembly.
A Call for Organizing Resistance Against Trump
Activist-minded friends (or anyone deeply disturbed by the current "administration") listen up! Trump is a clear and present danger to our national security, to international stability, and to our system of government. It is quite clear that neither he nor those with whom he has surrounded himself care much for the delicate balances of power enshrined in our Constitution, nor do they seem concerned with responding to the desires of the majority of the American people. Further, his continued reckless behavior is a danger to us all. The Constitution provides two mechanisms to remove such an individual from office: the impeachment process and Article 25. Currently, there are a number of petitions going around the interwebs seeking impeachment. But in the face of our cowardly and do-nothing Congress, I believe it will take a sustained, coordinated effort to put on enough pressure to get Congress and the rest of the Executive to do their duty and remove him, either via Impeachment or Article 25. There needs to be a unified removal movement. I would like to start that movement. If anyone is interested in getting involved with an organized movement to call for Trump's removal, please message me. I would like to hold a meeting sometime soon. Answering Trump's disturbing behavior cannot wait until Midterm elections and the hope that new people will be elected to congress who can stand up to him. Something must be done now! #resist #riseup And if you know anyone who might be interested, please spread the word. There are a lot of Resist Trump movements and Facebook pages going around, but to fight this successfully, we need to coordinate efforts and present a unified front.
Facebook Post 2-6-17: Calling for the Impeachment of Donald Trump
YES! Trump needs to be GONE. And if Congress won't do its DUTY and oust Trump, then WE THE PEOPLE need to do it!

To share an old refrain, this is not normal. Trump speaks and comports himself like a tinpot dictator from some failed state, and not a president of the United States. How long before his actions begin to follow his demeanor? In some ways, it has already begun: how much governing has Congress done, versus Trump and his executive orders, just "decreeing" things to be so? Wake up, America, before it is too late. Something must be done to stop him. You know how people look back on history with hindsight and are like, "something should have been done about X before it got out of control"? This is one of those moments. Where do you stand, and what will you do?
Facebook Post 2-2-17: Reaction to Executive Orders
WTF is up with all of these executive orders? Has Congress just up and given up on lawmaking, like its one *actual* function, in favor of letting the executive just make law? Because I have been hearing a lot about executive orders, and nothing about Congress doing or passing...anything. Somehow we've managed to break the Government. I'm not sure it can be fixed. It might be time for a new one.
