Trump’s America 2026. Masked armed men in body armor arresting journalists in the night.
We’re truly going back to the 1930s.
My almost 90 y/o mom was right when she moved back to Austria this year: “I grew up under fascism, I don’t need to die under it” 😳

Part of the problem with Trump’s deportation goons is that they believe the lies he and his senior officials have spouted about ICE protesters.

Let's speak plainly.
In a legitimate criminal cases, political appointees don't have to first hollow out U.S. Attorney offices of objecting career prosecutors with integrity; federal judges don't kill the cases at the cradle, and the government doesn't fight tooth and nail to revive them.

This happened to me yesterday. Two ICE officers abruptly blocked a freeway entrance, got out and illegally threatened me with arrest. All on video, thanks to a journalist in the backseat filming the entire thing. Press makes us safer.
Just thinking of how many ways a few commuters having journalists with them would help.
- The journalist can literally be there when ICE/CBP gets out of their SUVs and starts their action. There's no "OK, what happened before the person with the camera showed up?"

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
