@NeilCudbill @Telegraph You do understand that these systems were not comparable? Among other things like plantation work, those slaves could achieve high social/political status, had options to freedom, and their status did not necessarily pass to their children.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune compiled a chilling recap of multiple incidents showing ICE agents escalating aggression toward innocent bystanders including detainments, threats of violence, and physical abuse.

This isn’t law and order. It’s state violence.

Hilarious and so relatable for us over 40, wonder what 50 is like?

I don't know who needs to hear this but liberals are not "siding with a violent gang member."

They're siding with the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

That's as American as it gets. You either believe in individual rights and liberty for all, or you don't. Pick a lane.

This is sickeningly chilling:

Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was marked by a systematic campaign to dismantle democratic institutions, suppress dissent, and undermined democratic elections, while dehumanizing minority groups.

Shortly after taking power in 1933, Hitler’s regime began reshaping how German history and culture were presented to the public while demanding loyalty instead of institutional allegiance. The Nazis purged museums, universities, libraries, and cultural institutions of anything that contradicted their ideology. School curricula and museum exhibits were rewritten to glorify the Aryan race and erase Germany’s responsibility for World War I. Any content deemed "degenerate" or "un-German" was removed.

Hitler then undermined judicial independence by pressuring judges to conform to Nazi ideology and calling for the expulsion of those judges who did not. Hitler and his propaganda machine frequently claimed that protesters and political opponents were not genuine, but rather paid agitators working for foreign interests—especially Communists and Jews. This narrative helped justify violent crackdowns and mass arrests.

His regime also crushed independent journalism, replacing it with tightly controlled propaganda that manipulated public opinion. Hitler sent thousands of people who were perceived threats to concentration camps without trials or due process.

Most significantly, he cast aside the constitutional limits of the Weimar Republic, which destroyed any remaining constitutional limits on his rule.

Trump orders the Kennedy Library in Boston to be shut down immediately.

An employee described an emotional meeting at 2:00pm where the staff was fired and left "in tears."

Doors are now locked with this sign: "Due to Executive Order, the JFK Library is closed until further notice."

Trump was scheduled to sign executive orders while at Mar-a-Lago today, but none have yet appeared on the White House's official list of presidential actions .

The facility is one of 16 presidential libraries administered by the National Archives and Records Administration.

@DrPamLuster @SDGE Same! Had to call on the TELEPHONE like I'm living in the 1920s! For the amount they charge on my bill every month they should have state of the art everything, not something that breaks down every time too many people are using it.

Dear Colorado,

Thank you for making #TrumpDisqualified. Don't let their "civil war" nonsense deter you. We have the military. They have Kid Rock battling Bud Light.
