Trump pardoned the ex-president of Honduras who shoveled hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. He pardoned the founder of a black market who imported fentanyl from China.

These men poisoned America & killed millions. Whatever Trump’s illegal boat strikes are about, it sure isn’t drugs.
Trump move to pardon Honduras’s ex-president shows counter-drug effort is ‘based on lies and hypocrisy’
Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big-time trafficker off the hook?

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Trump asks Japan’s prime minister to stay calm over Taiwan. He uninvites South Africa from the next G20 summit, and pressures Canada and the European countries to follow his migration policies. Who does he think he is? The Emporer of the world?
Taiwankonflikt: Trump bittet Japans Premier um Zurückhaltung im Taiwanstreit
Sanae Takaichi hatte Chinas Führung mit Äußerungen zu Taiwan verärgert. Nun soll sie der US-Präsident in einem persönlichen Telefonat gebeten haben, sich zu zügeln.

That’s Trump’s AmeriKa.
Ain’t you glad you don’t live in such a shithole country.
Hopefully good Americans wake up to the creeping , tho blatant fascism before it’s too late
A video surfaced showing the brutalization of community members by ICE and the St. Paul, Minnesota PD after ICE abducted two of their neighbors. As a result of the chemical munitions and police beatings, eight people, including a journalist, were hospitalized. 11/25/25

🚨 WH seizes on killing of Charlie Kirk to LEGITIMIZE FASCISM & suppress opposition

The REALITY is that the principal source of POLITICAL VIOLENCE in America for years has been the FASCIST RIGHT & those it has inspired

White House seizes on killing of Charlie Kirk to legitimize fascism and suppress opposition
The escalating campaign comes as very little is known about the motives of the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, and there are indications that he may be an extreme right-wing ideologue.

Tell the Governors and Senators to quit asking Canadians to come to the US because they miss us. They say they will treat us well. We just have to worry about having our phones searched at the border, being detained by ICE for no reason, or dealing with ppl who don't like tourists. No thanks.

Stay away from this country if you’re a tourist. It isn’t safe here. Not for citizens, and certainly not for visitors or foreign workers. We are a lawless nation under siege by its own government, and at war with itself. The United States as you knew, no longer exists. You’d fare better in Sudan…
The pogrom that Trump's secret police launched against Korea was a special day in the institution's history. One that will in the future be cited as caused for its dismantling.
