I used to just call Trump Hitler. He is following the same playbook with his hate and ego. But, it’s important to make sure that the name Trump goes down in history with an equivalent negative connotation, perhaps worse as we had Hitler as an example pre-Trump. May he rot in hell when he gets there.

Schumer caves again. We need new leadership. Ones who care about people and democracy not their cosy offices in Senate office buildings and appeasing a fascist dictator. #endICE #fuckICE

“Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them.”
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

Another execution. More blood on Trump, Vance, Noem, and Bondi’s hands. And on every Republican who continues to let Trump murder US citizens. And Democrats who refuse to help. And Chief Justice John Roberts, who continues to allow this dictatorship to flourish

The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House.

The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm.

Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.
Another brutal killing by Trump’s ICE agents.

Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller, & the whole morally depraved crew have blood on their hands. These killings are happening at their direction. They must be held accountable.

Congress must cut-off funding for these heinous acts NOW!

Wondering how many of Trump’s cabinet are looking for non-extradition countries to flee to when this fascist regime falls?

Maybe Putin or Kim will take in their Dear Leaders acolytes?

If Trump actually believes he won the Nobel Peace prize because someone handed him their prize, it’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment due to mental incapacitation.

Trump said US was “locked and loaded” if Iran started to shoot at the protesters. Yet Trump has directly ordered his ICE/Gestapo to fire and kill nonviolent American citizen protesters. The duplicitousness is staggering.

The world is watching. There will be accountability for Trump & his gang
January 15, 2026 at 2:31 PM
This is a Gestapo tactic. This is not legal. There was no threat, there was no incitement.

These state actors need to be held accountable for these autocratic and fascist actions. Yes, even in Florida the US Constitution is still the law of the land.
