It's like they're intentionally trying to inflict so much harm on the American people that we protest en masse - and then Trump declares martial law and sends in the Marines.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture)
It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

The US has always been this way, but now with unstable, pedo sociopaths in charge. Watching Pete Hegsworth brag like a douche frat boy abt the illegal bombing and kidnapping is next level sadistic fascism.
When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere.
We are about to learn some hard lessons.
One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.

He just openly announced "our oil companies are going in to rebuild their infrastructure". KIdnapping, theft and pillaging completely out in the open, vs how the US normally Fs with Latin America.
It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

So chicken farms have started spending millions of dollars putting in state of the art air filtration and circulation systems - because culling whole flocks to mitigate avian flu is expensive - but we have done zero to improve air quality in schools - because kids are expendable I guess.
