Good morning! 🌄🌇🌅
The *illegitimate* Trump admin — which exists because an oligarch cheated to get elected — is an *illegitimate* neo-fascist regime building fascism.
Today's GOP is a neo-fascist party.
The USA is an OLIGARCHY.
Oligarchy and fascism are UNACCEPTABLE.

Monday, @NPR *reporters* repeatedly called the fascist, terroristic rally in Virginia, "peaceful", and Wednesday morning, NPR *reporters* called perfectly legal behavior by refugees, "Illegal".
