Democracy is hanging on by a thread, not because of Donald J Trump, but because it was built on a foundation of white supremacy. While Donald Trump endangers our democracy, we must address the root cause.

When people say “billionaires are just following the tax laws,” remind them that billionaires are in fact buying politicians to write the tax laws that cater to billionaires.

Spending $45M to save $5B in taxes is a steal of an investment. This is not democracy, its oligarchy. https://t.co/r9pLu4RiNz

Four facts:

1. If Trump stole nat’l secrets, he must face justice.

2. Thanks to Judge Cannon, it now seems impossible for a trial to happen before the election.

3. If he’s reelected, he will never face trial.

4. Therefore, Trump must be defeated as a matter of nat’l security
