Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose. He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu. Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release. I've posted this photo to alter your brain biochemistry for the better 🌿
