Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Trump wants to control what’s taught in colleges—but the U.S. leads the world in top universities for a reason. Because we funded innovation & let them operate freely—they thrived. Now Trump wants to gut that.

Reminder: Presidents can’t legally defund schools. This is authoritarian cosplay!

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings.

These are not deportations—they are human trafficking.

These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps.

Language matters.

This is fascism.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
