J.B. Pritzker got it exactly right, Donald Trump is sending the military to blue cities because he wants to undermine free and fair elections in 2026. Trump believes that military deployments in blue cities is his path to keeping power and Republican victory.

Tyrants govern through fear. Dictators take their power from the acquiescence of the good people who don't speak out. It is our obligation as citizens to set aside fear and take a step forward not a step back.

note how Trump on a daily basis is trying to normalize the idea that he's a dictator
Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

Most striking thing about this clip is not Trump floating the idea of being a dictator (again) and claiming some want that.

The most striking thing is his sneering dismissal of the counter argument "freedom."

Only modern US president to explicitly oppose freedom. Should be the basis of opposition.
Trump: "A lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator."

One of the most stupid, corrupt humans on the planet. Notice how he constantly claims he's smart. Actual smart people don't have to tell you they're smart--you'll already know it.

"Help with crime"? More like perpetuate crime by cops and federales.
Stephen Miller is completely full of shit, and he knows it. He's selling hatred of cities to people who do not live in cities and are scared of them.

Appreciate the way he tells it like it is.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

If you can't vocally, thoroughly, and unflinchingly condemn the military occupation of U.S. cities, you haven't earned the right to hold power.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:

1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

They aren’t trying to erase history because they’re embarrassed by it. They’re trying to erase history because it’s their current playbook.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:

“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
