resulting in injury or death to POC. That's why their protests are happening. In addition, they can't stand Dump any more than we can. That explains where they are protesting.

Their cops are watching US programs featuring cops and are imitating them. People have had enough of that.

At this point anything he says will just make it worse for his regime.

Honestly, at some point they'll have no where to run.

The best of this world hates his guts & they are all telling him how much.


He will be ruined. His family, their identity, his brand & Donald Trump will be written in the history books with eternal loathing.

History will not be kind to Trump, his family and his maladministration. They are all loathsome and evil.

The rise of aggressive RW racism and nationalism is happening many other places, and resisting it in the planet's first and most powerful democracy is resisting it everywhere.

Ted did a nice piece on international reactions and opinions of how far the USA has fallen in the eyes of several international observers.
Suffice to summarize that we're no longer the "shining example on the hill".
He pointed out the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economist_Intelligence_Unit rankings which place the good 'ol USA #25 - officially considered a "Flawed Democracy".
The GOP has destroyed us.

Something bigger about the US.

WE ARE SLIPPING INTO AUTHORITARIANISM.

Racism, our police forces, and Donald Trump are the ugly face of this.

We the people have decided to halt it.
