Have national Dems, who claim to want to "win back" the working class, said anything yet about ICE injuring and arresting the head of the SEIU of California?

What happened last night and today was manufactured propaganda by the Trump admin to justify using the military against Americans. Let us be clear: the military should never police civilians without a request from the state. So much for the so-called party of states’ rights and law and order.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.
The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

I've been waiting for this shoe to drop.
The USDA regional Climate Hubs have led climate adaptation measures nation-wide for 10+ years. They develop and maintain climate services for agriculture, emergency management, urban dev, & so much more.
Taking those resources offline will kill people.

USDA ordered to scrub climate change from websites. The directive could affect information across dozens of programs including climate-smart agriculture initiatives.

Don’t let the Chaos distract you from noticing that they are taking over all financial and personnel data in an administrative coup. Make calls, call them out, beat on drums - and read HCRichardson’s latest column —Mine eyes have seen the glory. Honor Black History Month, and remember Niemöller.

Welp…looking around and the events of the last two weeks, the only “logic” is Maximal Chaos. No other reason to invent war with Canada and Mexico, etc. And the Cheat-o hope that while the Chaos captures our attention, we won’t notice the Muskrat Brigade storming the castle.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

This is unacceptable! Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren, reporting that Navajo citizens in Arizona and New Mexico have faced “negative, sometimes traumatizing experiences” with federal agents targeting undocumented immigrants after Trump’s recent immigration orders.
