@LongTimeHistory Why don't they just act like normal police, with uniforms, badges, warrants, marked vehicles, etc. instead of acting like the German secret police from Nazi Germany.
You know they are doing it wrong when they have to call the police to protect them.
ICE agents dragging a mother away while she clings to her baby.
No ID. No warrant.
“We don’t have to show you anything.”
Then, the local police arrest her teenage daughter for being “hostile.”
A school board candidate? Also arrested.
This isn’t law enforcement.
This is authoritarianism in broad daylight.
Where’s the baby?
Where’s the Constitution?
We. Are. Here.
And if you’re not alarmed—you’re not paying attention.
In the USA, presidents do not punish or censor the media for criticizing them.
Freedom of the press is what sets us apart from tin pot dictatorships and authoritarian regimes.
If Trump cannot take criticism, he should get out of politics.
🚨 NEW: Donald Trump is back at his Palm Beach Resort today, swinging clubs while America pays the tab.
104 days in office. 40% spent golfing at his own properties.
Over $140 million in taxpayer cash—blown on golf carts, luxury suites, and billionaire bootlicking.
This isn’t leadership. It’s looting.
Sedor: Bernie has a bill. It’s long past due. It’s called the Social Security Expansion Act. It would make Musk and the other billionaires pay into Social Security just like the rest of us, and it would use that money to increase everyone’s Social Security.
"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Best definition of Trumpism I have read.
Yesterday, the neoconservative David Brooks wrote this in an OpEd in the NY Times,
"Trumpism… is primarily about the acquisition of power — power for its own sake. It is a multifront assault to make the earth a playground for ruthless men, so of course any institutions that might restrain power must be weakened or destroyed. Trumpism is about ego, appetite and acquisitiveness and is driven by a primal aversion to the higher elements of the human spirit — learning, compassion, scientific wonder, the pursuit of justice. …
What is happening now is not normal politics. We’re seeing an assault on the fundamental institutions of our civic life, things we should all swear loyalty to — Democrat, independent or Republican.
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power. …
I’m really not a movement guy. I don’t naturally march in demonstrations or attend rallies that I’m not covering as a journalist. But this is what America needs right now."
The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm.
We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open.
Hello? https://t.co/w0rbOm8fJ6
88% of parents trust PBS kids to help teach their kids.
Trump’s executive order cutting funding from PBS and NPR is far from what Americans want and will hurt our kids. For just $1.60 per taxpayer per year, we can afford to keep funding.
@atrupar It's time to get rid of him. 100 days too many. He and his fascist government are ruining the country. He works for Putin. Impeach this dimwit traitor sadist immediately. Each day is worse than the previous. And media: STOP catering him. It's much your fault we're in this mess.
NEW: U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that Trump’s executive order targeting Perkins Coie, a law firm that represented Hillary Clinton, violated the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, calling it a “blunt exercise of power” that “is not a legitimate use of the powers of the U.S. government or an American President.”
We have no kings in the United States of America.
DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.
Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts.
And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B.
We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
