The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

Over four decades, the NRA et al softened the ground for the current authoritarian takeover. My hope is that their silence in the face of the government tyranny they screamed about for all those years will bankrupt them in the eyes of the public forever.
I want to point out that the NRA and other anti-government groups had been screaming about the threat of "obey or die" for decades. Yet now that we're here, crickets. That's because they were softening the ground for the present moment.

Republicans passed a $75 BILLION budget for ICE, and are funding an enormous armada in Venezuela, but somehow can’t find the money to keep your health insurance costs down.

As Ukraine gets bombarded nightly, has its heat and power supplies damaged, sees its civilian population deliberately murdered by Russian aerial attack, understand that the US has helped this by slow walking and limiting anti air weapons to Ukraine. This is the USA, this is Trump.
⚡️ Russia killed a Kyiv ambulance medic while he was saving lives.
Local authorities report that 56-year-old paramedic Serhii Smoliak was killed in a Russian double-tap strike on the same residential building as medics treated victims, with three more medics hospitalized.

Bluesky is hiding our post which shows what happened in Minneapolis, even though there's no graphic content (the victim is never shown).
Video evidence shows the public what happened and allows people to form an opinion, which is especially important when officials call it an act of terrorism.

Dear media covering Homeland Security's killing of a woman in Minneapolis,
Homeland Security has routinely lied about violence against the public. It was caught lying repeatedly in Chicago. A federal judge determined that Homeland Security lied.
Share any government statements with that context.
