Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive fully formed, it develops over time. In Hitler’s Germany, it began with street-level brutality and a lack of state accountability, all justified as enforcement. Add weaponized justice against political opponents, and it becomes a dictatorship.

A self-absorbed, senile old man is playing chicken between the U.S. military and NATO. Let that sink in.

Americans who don’t yet realize that Trump is destroying our country from the inside are like homeowners who don’t know that their homes are infested with termites.

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

Find rest, O my soul,

my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

The Trump admin has been lying to Americans from the start about this reckless tariff plan.
“.. foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.” 🤡

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.
Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
Notice the suppressors
