Are we starting a war without the American people even knowing it?

Sen. Chris Murphy, Contributor
United States Senator for Connecticut

Trump Is Dragging Us Into Another War... And No One Is Talking About It
While Americans have been focused on the ACA and Trump’s ties to Russia, Trump has been busy expanding the American troop presence inside Syria.
03/25/2017 11:47 am ET | Updated 14 hours ago

With no announcement trump has sent 500 troops into Syria.

Plans are for hundreds more to be sent .in the next few weeks. Rumors are this could be the tip of the iceberg. The administration is trying to keep it secret.

This info is from Sen. Chris Murphy at huffpost.

Just curious. I'm not watching tonight for many reasons

I can't stand his voice or phoney inflections (trying to tone himself down like he is a reasonable person which we know he's not).

His hair always distracts me. Is that a real color?

His speech is always the same. Build a wall, kill Obama care (it's a disaster folks)

Going to have the biggest military and the most nukes ever. We will win wars and take the oil.

Anyway, along those lines. I don't expect the dems to do anything unexpected because we are decorous in these traditional occasions when the leader speaks.

I will catch the highlights from DU, and Rachel and friends. Then I don't have to look or listen to his tinyness.

So, I'm curious, are you watching tonight? Why or why not.

Trying to stop protesters, eleven states have passed laws last week making most

Protesting subject to fines, imprisonment and property seizure. Az added it to their racketeering law giving authorities more power to seize property from organizers or anyone that destroys property. The intent really is to stifle dissent before it gets started.

Minnesota is working on a bill that will charge protesters the cost of policing demonstrations.

Iowa is working on a bill that makes blocking traffic a felony punishable by up to five years.

And the mayor of DC just appointed a new police chief, Peter Newsham, known for violating protester rights . DC was sued and lost a multi million dollar lawsuit because his tactics violated civil rights in 2002.

These efforts are because of mass demonstrations that have already been witnessed since rumps inauguration. Scared the crap out of them I guess. Be careful. Read these articles and know your rights.☮️

Help. I tried to by some hearts on my Visa card. Thought I did it right.

But have not gotten mail about my hearts. Maybe I sent them somewhere? Other than me. It was only ten and I was going to give them all to crazycatlady for doing me a favor. Nothing has shown up on my bank account here. Should I buy some more?

We are Winning!

http://progressnownm.org/2017/02/07/in-first-post-trump-elections-progressives-sweep-school-elections-helped-by-record-voter-turnout

In NM voters and progressives kicked as on NM elections for school boards. Killed the pee party.

Progressive candidates fought off pro-Trump Tea Party candidates in school board elections around the state, Tuesday. It was the first election test of the newly energized progressive movement in the Trump era.

The results are still coming in but the early results are already clear: this movement isn’t just about resistance in the streets – we’re voting, too!

Medical marijuana clinic hacked.

My medical marijuana clinic in cottonwood was hacked six days ago. They said all the clinics in az and Colorado got hacked. Someone is trying to stop mm sales, but they are writing every receipt by hand. I told them it was the Russians or some four hundred pound person hacking from bed. Still it's all very strange.

Women's March in DC.

I want to March but am not really able to travel. I got permission from my city of Cottonwood to march around old town by the city offices and parks. Going to try to last two hours. I'm on my own. Probably almost everyone here voted for trump. I have a hoodie and am making a sign. The city people and others who know all think I'm crazy. This is short diary, but just want to show solidarity with my sisters .
