trump doesn’t discover crises. He manufactures them. Fraud, crime, disorder… they’re pretexts, not accidents.

Everyone should read this. Trump is trying to seize power and will happily use the military against US citizens to rig future elections. There's absolutely no line Trump will not cross for power and wealth. Take to the streets to #Protest.

Democrats "threatened" to block funding for the government ahead of Friday's deadline, "vowed" to keep pushing if Congress didn't rein in ICE, but, as usual ... Democrats caved & funded ICE/DHS for another 2 weeks. They walk away with nothing & ICE can continue to murder people with their blessing.

We are likely going to War with Iran within days if not hours.
Trump no longer wants airstrikes to support murdered protesters.
He demanded Iran disarm all nuclear programs he said were “obliterated” by today … that deadline has passed.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Then they came for the protesters and those who resisted.
Then they came for the journalists that showed what they were doing…
