Amazingly grotesque. The republican administration is taking money meant to help people in disasters, and then using it to punish and deport immigrants who perform so many valuable and needed services in our country.
While the Trump administration is denying emergency funds for weather-rated disasters, they're simultaneously taking $608M from FEMA to divvy out via state grants for the construction of internment camps.

US states to get $608 million from FEMA to build migrant detention centers
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers as part of the Trump administration's push to expand capacity to hold migrants.

Some of the clearest evidence there is that the supposed “assassination attempt” was choreographed for tRump’s promotional benefit. tRump’s aid knew to bring the photographers around to a known location to take the promotional photo that we’ve all seen countless times. Criminal on so many levels.

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.
But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

Always remember that Trump is very good at distraction. The latest is Epstein. Sure, there’s a lot of dirt there, but that was 2019. Why now? Distraction. His own private army. Gutting services. Mass deportation. Destroying democracy. Crypto profits. And on and on. Stay focused on the real issues.

In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.

The voter purge is happening. We must block the republican plan to win elections in 2026, and beyond. Their strategy prevented many thousands of legitimate voters from casting a ballot in 2024. Their plan is to keep doing it in even greater numbers giving them a majority. They must be stopped.

The Project 2025 Republican plan is like The Great Leap Forward disaster in China - 1958 to 1962, led by Mao Zedong, leading to between 15 and 55 million deaths. Strategy: Make rapid changes regardless of costs and lives lost. Lasted: 4 years. Total obedience. Ignore suffering. Catastrophic results.

2025 Civil War - We must wake up to the fact that the extreme right has started their war. They have breached the front lines and are now engaged in a constant onslaught to disorient the left. They have the courts, media, pentagon, nearly everything. We must fight back, and do so very quickly.

This is plain and simple market manipulation by Trump, and the (possibly) illegal sharing of insider information. He absolutely knew he was going to postpone the tariffs and that the stock market would rise substantially. There are many ways to transfer wealth to his buddies. This is one of them.

The most scary article I have read recently. An evil plan to retain and grow in power, eliminating foes and those who would oppose a third term. It’s right out of the playbook from Russia and other authoritarian governments. Everyone needs to know how he plans to stay in power - so we can fight it.
