Erasing history is not patriotism.
When leaders demand museums whitewash slavery and injustice, they are not protecting America—they are rewriting it.
A nation that hides its scars loses its truth. And when truth is gone, democracy follows.
Stand up. Speak out. Defend history before it disappears.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Trump sent troops into LA over the objections of its mayor and governor. This isn’t law enforcement—it’s a test run for martial control. If you’re still waiting for a clearer warning sign, you’ve already missed it. The blueprint is unfolding.

Los Angeles. June 2025.
They protested the abduction and deportation of neighbors, and ICE raids feeling like terrorism in the night.
The response? Military force. This isn’t order.
It’s intimidation.
We don’t scare easy.
We organize…
We remember.

There’s a jet on the tarmac—bought by Qatar, handed to a Trump. And we’re supposed to call that diplomacy? It’s not a gift. It’s a transaction. And we are the ones being sold. 🌓✨

One man’s ego shouldn’t hold the global economy hostage. This isn’t strategy—it’s sabotage. From threats to tariffs to market crashes, we’re watching reckless power unravel lives. This isn’t leadership. It’s abuse—economic and ethical.

As the markets crash, alliances fracture, and fear simmers across the globe, Trump boards a plane—waving like a conqueror, his back turned on the fires he started. 🔥 Imposing meaningless Tariffs on ghost islands-‘Liberation Day’ for a war that never was. Nero played the fiddle…Trump plays golf.

Trump imposed tariffs on 180 countries. including uninhabited places like Heard Island...no people-no exports to the U.S...We’re taxing nothing from no one. It raises serious ?'s about the judgment, and perhaps even the cognitive stability, of Trump and those encouraging him to make these decisions.

A Turkish student wrote an op-ed. ICE revoked her visa & abducted her—no hearing, no due process, no exit option. Just silenced. This is not border control. This is political punishment. And if words are a crime now, we are all in danger. This is fascism in plain sight.

They’re not draining a swamp. They’re gutting the house from the inside—one agency, one safeguard, one protector at a time. This isn’t reform. It’s demolition. The goal? A weakened system no longer able to defend the people. Eyes open. Voices louder.

Declaring oneself the ‘head law enforcement officer’ while directing the DOJ to punish enemies isn’t leadership—it’s authoritarianism. The justice system must remain independent, not a tool for vengeance. When the law bows to power, democracy crumbles. We should all be alarmed. 🌗✨ #Resist

Gutting the Dept of Education isn’t “reform”—it’s robbery. Cutting student loans, Pell Grants, disability services, and school meals? This isn’t about saving money, it’s about hoarding power. An uneducated, hungry nation is easier to control. We see the game. We won’t play. 🌗✨ #EducationMatters

Trump's speech wasn’t policy — it was a spectacle of lies, self-worship & blame-shifting. The GOP fawned, the Dems sat mostly silent, raising small signs mostly unseen. This is how truth dies — not with a shout, but with applause & silence. If we don’t demand better, this is who we are. 🌗✨ #riseup
