Trump regime interior secretary, Ryan Zinke, broke ethics rules and lied

Is anyone from the former Trump regime, including Trump himself, ever going to be held accountable for their actions?
An ironic bumper sticker seen on the wall of a Trumper establishment

I saw a bumper sticker similar to the image below posted on a wall of a clearly Trumper owned establishment in the Foothills area of Yuma, AZ. How do I know they were Trumpers? Aside from propane and storage space, they were selling, "Let's Go, Brandon" stickers and other Trumper crap. Sadly, both places relatively near me that sell propane are Trumper establishments. Though the other isn't quite as obvious as this one. It's obvious who I am referencing to anyone who lives in the area. Nevertheless, I won't publicly post the names of the establishments.
Oddly enough, the people at the place with numerous bumper stickers on the wall tend to be nicer than the ones at the other place. Maybe it's because they're younger? Who knows?
Please urge Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute Trump’s alleged crimes, ranging from tax fraud to inciting a deadly insurrection

"Dear friends across the U.S.,
“We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution.”
These were the powerful words with which Congresswoman Liz Cheney condemned former President Trump -- mere moments after Republicans had removed her from her leadership post in retaliation for her bravery.
Trump is no longer President, but his dangerous stranglehold on the Republican Party remains... especially because he’s never faced the consequences of his actions. But now, wide support could convince Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and prosecute Trump and his associates’ alleged crimes, ranging from tax fraud to inciting a deadly insurrection!
So let’s make this call for an investigation massive -- and once 100,000 back it, Avaaz will deliver our voices straight to AG Merrick Garland.
Trump and his associates made a mockery of the Presidential office. The revelations have been chilling: from the President himself inciting an insurrection in a cowardly quest to overturn a free and fair election, to flagrant abuses of power, and reports of a shady tax history. And in his final days in office, he even embarked on an unprecedented pardoning spree favoring his friends and own interests.
The State of New York has already launched investigations into Trump’s misconduct. While that’s a good start, a thorough federal investigation would show that the rule of law is alive and well in the U.S.!
Together, we can send a deafening call to AG Merrick Garland to establish an independent task force within the Department of Justice to investigate Trump and his associates!
As we close out a four year period of divisive instability fueled from the top down, we can only start to heal through unity and accountability. Better times are ahead -- but only if we all work together to preserve American democracy in the name of democracy everywhere.
With fierce determination,
Ruth, Meetali, Nick, Christine, and the whole Avaaz team"
It's time to sanction Israel for bombing Gaza; among many other atrocities
#RecklessPolitics #Israel #Anti-Zionism #Gaza #Sanction #Palestinians #Avaaz #Petition
"Dear friends,
We're on the brink of a full scale war in Israel and Palestine.
31 Palestinian children have already been killed. Mothers dead. Hundreds injured.
The tensions are escalating. Fast.
It's all rooted in Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and decades of violent oppression of the Palestinian people, which Human Rights Watch just concluded amounts to “crimes against humanity.”
This is where it all began, and this is where it must end.
Possibly the only way to stop this horrific cycle of Israel’s violent displacement of Palestinians from their homes, daily punishment of innocent families, Hamas firing rockets, and Israel bombing Gaza is to make the economic cost of this conflict too high to bear.
It’s what helped end apartheid in South Africa, and it can end apartheid here.
We've just hit 2 million signatures. Join our call in one click to sanction Israel for breaking international law and committing crimes against humanity, and let's make this a turning point.
Human Rights Watch, one of the most respected human rights organisations in the world, and B’tselem, one of the most respected Israeli human rights organisations, both recently concluded that Israel is committing crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people.
Meanwhile, extremist Israeli settlers march in the streets chanting “Death to Arabs”, and have burned thousands of olive trees that many Palestinians rely on to survive. Once again the bombs are falling on the open-air prison that is Gaza , and Israel is under rocket attack -- something has to change to end this vicious downward spiral.
Imposing sanctions is not about demonising Israelis. Extremists and corrupt leaders on both sides benefit from the status quo. But there is no question that the Israeli government, with one of the strongest militaries in the world, is the actor with maximum power on the ground. Israel controls the land, air, water, food, and even the freedom of movement of ALL Palestinians. For 70 years, it has been punishing, evicting and discriminating against millions of Palestinians whose lives it controls.
The Israeli government believes it has a green light to continue committing these crimes, crushing Palestinians with impunity -- because it believes governments will not impose sanctions. Let’s prove them wrong by turning this petition into a massive people’s movement that no decision maker can ignore.
This is a last resort. Virtually every other tool has been tried, for decades, to stop Israel's oppression of the Palestinians. Targeted sanctions, covering things like Israeli blood diamonds, a boycott on arms sales (Israel sells weapons to some of the world's most brutal regimes) as well tech and cultural sanctions (like banning Israel from sporting events), may be the first step in bringing freedom to Palestine and peace to the region.
With hope and determination,
Fadi, Marie, Christoph, Mo, Nax, John, Risalat, and the entire Avaaz team"
Why are we sanctioning Iran and sending Israel weapons?
