DHS didn’t just “miss” a dog whistle It amplified a white nationalist anthem and paired it with ICE recruitment. That’s not drift. When coercive power adopts extremist symbolism without consequence democracy doesn’t vanish overnight It erodes operationally Read more: www.facebook.com/share/r/1DSf...

Selective justice isn’t justice at all. Congress is demanding subpoenas while ignoring a law it passed and a president signed. The Epstein files remain sealed. Enforcement is conditional. Truth is discretionary. And the victims are still waiting. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1ALx...

Who stops a madman when the GOP aligns, Democrats hesitate, and the Court clears the path?
No cavalry is coming.

MAGA isn’t an ideology. It’s a loyalty system.
No beliefs. No lines. Just power, dominance, and control.
That’s why “no new wars” turned into escalation abroad, and why civilians like Renee Good get smeared at home.
There is no gotcha moment coming. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Bgg...

ICE shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis for trying to drive away. Not at the border. Not in a war zone. In her own neighborhood.
Interference is not a death sentence. Fear is not a license to kill.
This is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

The U.S. didn’t “liberate” Venezuela. It bombed a capital, abducted a head of state, bypassed Congress, threatened NATO allies, and proposed taxpayer bailouts for oil giants. This isn’t strength. It’s a doctrine of force without law. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/19xU...

January 6 wasn’t a riot. It was a warning shot. We studied it, explained it, then let it metastasize. Now cruelty is policy, waiting is surrender, and fascism is operational. This is not a warning anymore. It’s the record. Read more: www.facebook.com/share/p/15YD...

Trump responded to a double homicide with mockery No empathy No restraint Just cruelty from the President
This is the man who calls immigrants “vermin” and “poisoning the blood,” but excuses extremists as “very fine people” and Jan 6 attackers as “hostages.”
He owns the violent rhetoric What a POS

A cancer vaccine just prevented aggressive tumors in mice at UMass Amherst A breakthrough like this should change everything but in an America run by anti-science and profit-driven health system the real question is whether the people who paid for it will ever see it www.facebook.com/share/p/16J5...
