Trump's reference to the "enemy within" is not about immigrants. If you still think this is about immigrants, you're missing the plot. Trump has declared war on Americans who believe in democracy--all Americans who who oppose his incipient dictatorship. The majority of us.

Gaza used to have one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Since October 2023, more than 64,000 children have reportedly been killed or maimed; many who survived are now orphans, trying to stay alive. Education is a distant memory.

If the attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its president were part of a "law enforcement operation," not a war, how come the U.S. still has a huge armada offshore? When cops nab a suspect, do they often set up a camp with hundreds of officers near the scene of the arrest?

I love my country. I think our military for their service. If the military decides to invade other countries or cause harm to American people people, I will no longer cherish them. They have to stand up for themselves and for the country and for people of the country. That's America.

The GOP of Gangsters, Oligarchs, and Pedophiles is not ideologically or policy-based. Trump is enriching himself, his family, and his coterie of ultra -rich oligarchs. There are certainly ideologically-driven people in the administration, but their views are secondary to the riches to be gained.

Several things can be true at once. 1) Trump is dismantling the institutions and intl law that have prevented WW III. 2) Trump is invading a foreign nation to steal oil for his family & coterie of oligarchs. 3) He is doing this now to focus our attn away from Epstein, rising prices, etc.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.
But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

ICE is no longer arresting immigrants only. They are arresting anyone who films or speaks out. Sending them to concentration camps. I have been criticized for my analogy to 1930’s Germany. That is what we are witnessing.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

Trump is saying the US government will run Venezuela now.
This is exactly how it goes. US decapitates a government with no plan, and then we end up spending trillions and thousands of lives trying to run a country that hates us.
That worked great in Iraq, right?

Democrats need to realize that in moments like this, it is critical we make our case and convince the public. Otherwise, we set this up to be a success for Trump and he uses it as justification to go topple more countries.
