There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.
By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

Serious or not, we can’t allow exchanges like this to feel normal. Nor should we become numb to it. Don’t let small men like Hegseth and Kolvet convince you otherwise.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I think it's time we start declaring the Trump Administration and their Reeks traitors.
They're traitors to the Constitution.
Their desire to create a white Christian nationalist state is against the founding fathers and the law.
They're the "foreign threat" to America, not immigrants.

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense.
