There’s a reason this all feels so eerily dystopian. It’s because it is.

And that’s precisely why NOW is the time to act, to resist, to think critically and exercise moral clarity. To be bold. To stand up and speak out. To challenge authority. To fight back…before you can’t.

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

It’s not a deal if you have to sacrifice everything for a chance at nothing. It’s idiocy. What’s worse, it’s an absolute betrayal of everyone who entrusted you with the power to safeguard the services and fundamental ideals that matter the most.

There’s no bargaining with fascists.

Florida’s move to end vaccine mandates will be an absolute boon to the child casket industry. As evil and corrupt as these politicians are, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had stock in baby coffin manufacturing.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

As a brutal heat wave overtakes much of the country, almost every single state lacks universal air conditioning in their prisons, where temperatures can exceed 120 degrees.

This isn’t an issue of comfort or luxury — it's an issue of life or death for many incarcerated people.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the IRS against Harvard now, but who will he try to punish next?

Revoke the non-profit status of churches and hospitals? Snatch tax credits from families? Deny deductions for small businesses?

It's illegal and wrong. And it threatens everyone.

Tr*mp’s Administration is literally censoring history by dictating what can be displayed in museums, taught in classrooms, and read in libraries. Moreover, they’re desperately constricting society’s access to information in the hopes of constructing a racist, nationalist future.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

They’re arresting judges who they disagree with now. We should all be outraged and terrified by what comes next. There is no red line for this administration.

Understand what this is: If Kash Patel and Donald Trump don’t like a judge, they think they can arrest them. This is stunning — we must stand up to this blatant power grab.

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

NEW: The Trump administration admitted in a court filing that ICE lied about having an arrest warrant when they detained our client Mahmoud Khalil in retaliation for his protected speech.

This confirms what we already knew: The government is intent on punishing Mahmoud by any means necessary.
