Trump thrives on dissent because it feeds his narrative of victimhood & fuels his authoritarian agenda. The more Americans protest, the more he claims to be under siege—justifying harsher crackdowns. But surrendering to fear only hands him more power. Defiance is the antidote to fear and oppression.
Americans are beginning to fear dissent. That’s exactly what Trump wants | Robert Reich
Attacks on the pillars of civil society are chilling speech. But American democracy was built on criticism

I've heard this excuse every time it is pointed out that a tiny fraction of their 340 million people are protesting.
Dear all foreign friends outside the United States,
Our country is big. Like really big. Like so much bigger than you ken. Our states are bigger than many countries, and there's 50 of them.
So when you wonder why we are not all marching on DC
I live 2,500 miles (4000 km) from the White House

She was trying to get to Costco! She typed "Costco" into the GPS and blindly followed it! Too relatable
An undocumented Detroit mother was detained after accidentally driving onto the bridge to Canada. Her underage daughters are both U.S. citizens. After 5 days in detention, her children were placed with a guardian. The case raises concerns over detention conditions & Trump's heartless cruel policies.

Detroiters often make the mistake of accidentally driving onto the Ambassador Bridge. For Sarahi, a mother of two, that error turned her life upside down.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

“The decision to vaccinate is a personal one. People should consult with their healthcare provider to understand their options to get a vaccine and should be informed about the potential risks and benefits associated with vaccines.”
