If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?
No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.
Fascism is here.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Hey @JohnKennedyLA, when I lay down to sleep at night, the national security of the United States is at the top of my list of concerns.
If it isn't for you, if you are that compromised, just resign so those who still think defending America matters can in fact do so.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.
We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

No, Rick Scott, Donald Trump didn't run on promises of "a little disturbance."
He promised to "lower prices on day one."
He inherited a booming economy from Biden and he's running it into the ground.
