You resisted.
You bestowed the eternally vigilant symbol of change by sacrificing your impassioned lives for freedom, justice and honour.

I don’t think immediate execution is a reasonable punishment for annoying the heavily-armed masked agents of the state.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina.
I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record.

When Trump lied and slandered European troops by saying that they avoided the front lines in Afghanistan, it was no mistake. It was a deliberate attempt to run down NATO in American eyes, to try and condition the American people to accept the end of the alliance.

Darrell Issa claims that he and Jordan "saw wrongdoing" after 2020, so they voted against accepting electors from two states. But, of course, they didn't see any such wrongdoing, since there wasn't any.

The most consistent them in Trump's second term has been that every time he leans into his tariff agenda, markets tank, and every time he backs off, they rise. And here's the latest round of uppy-downy to prove the point.
Markets clearly believe that Trump's tariff agenda hurts American businesses.

Von der Leyen: Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July. A deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.
This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime
