To me, "what the hell are they doing with our mail?" seems like really solid, simple messaging.
Trump often says, "without a border you don't have a country." But seriously, without a functioning postal service, you really *don't* have a country.

Pay attention. Believe that they are planning the worst.
For folks still struggling with the math:
There are ~345 million US citizens.
There are ~245 million white US citizens.
This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people.
Not "undocumented criminals."
Not even "all undocumented people."

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

They want to bring back slavery so bad
Leaked footage reveals that MAGA business owners in Charlotte, North Carolina, are exploiting their workers, threatening to send them to ICE if they refuse to comply with their demands.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released:
100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.
Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.
What Smith says is far more incriminating.

Q: “To the extent members of Congress are up in arms this happened to them, who should be held accountable?”
JACK SMITH: “Trump. He directed his co-conspirators to call them to delay the proceedings.”
As @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty try to take millions from taxpayers. 🤔

Right-wing media spent weeks in a bad faith (or deluded) effort to cast this obvious investigatory step as partisan and devious. Senators tried to award themselves half a mill for it!
SMITH says he had evidence that Trump directly ordered alleged co-conspirators to call senators on the evening of Jan. 6 to try to continue delaying the vote ceritification.
He also had evidence that Bannon said Trump was still "on fire" on evening of Jan. 6.

The Nazis spread absurd lies about Jews killing Christian children to use their blood in secret rituals. We know where that led.
When Republicans push racist rhetoric about black and brown people "poisoning the blood of our country,” we must take it seriously.

Blood Libel | Holocaust Encyclopedia
Blood libels were false allegations that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish children in rituals. Nazi propagandists used this false charge in their antisemitic propaganda.

But 2025 is *ending* w Trump, while still dangerously destructive, visibly weakening on all fronts. 1968 ended w Nixon winning.

Breaking: Trump says he's removing the National Guard from Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland.
The move comes after the Supreme Court dealt a blow to Trump's authority to send troops to Chicago.

We will only really come out of this if we have some kind of de-Nazification program. Perhaps it’s truth and reconciliation model, or a prosecutorial model, or a hybrid. But if we don’t it will just fester and grow.
Exclusive: ICE officials plan to spend $100 million to recruit gun-rights supporters and military enthusiasts through online influencers and a geo-targeted ad campaign, part of what the agency called a “wartime recruitment” strategy to hire thousands of officers, according to an internal document.
