The President does not have power to wage war. He was already guilty of child sexual abuse & ripping the Constitution to shreds, & now, he’s a mass murderer.

Impeachment, conviction & removal are not enough. Trump & his enablers must be punished. No War in Venezuela. New York Nuremberg instead.

Very sad to jump on and see what happened at Brown. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Awful to see such gun violence.

Yet another example of ICE agents breaking the law & violating people's rights, in this case a high school student U.S. citizen in #RhodeIsland. Now judges like Judge McBurney are beginning to understand the crucial need for virtual court hearings.
