Trump is deploying the military on U.S. soil to crush the first amendment rights of citizens protesting his administration’s illegal abduction and trafficking, and detention of immigrants.
This is the authoritarianism we warned about.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

In 2023, a program connecting Utah farmers and ranchers to free therapy vouchers was so successful, the federal money ran out in four months.
“I want you to know,” the program director recalled one recipient telling him, “that this saved my life.”

Utah Farmers Signed Up for Federally Funded Therapy. Then the Money Stopped.
Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

Sadistic Personality Disorder NEVER exists in isolation. It's ALWAYS accompanied by Sociopathy/Psychopathy (ASPD).
This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...
Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

The Department of Education doesn’t dictate curriculum, but dismantling it will hit red states the hardest—leaving underfunded schools to fend for themselves.
Gotta wonder if this is Trump’s way of further dumbing down his red-state base so they don’t wise up and turn on him.

Among the items taken from the president’s Florida residence were files that investigators said contained classified material and formed the central evidence in one of the criminal cases against him.

The emphasis on wanting "thanks" from Zelensky is misguided for another reason: Ukraine is fighting a proxy war to keep the rest of the Western world from falling into Putin's hands. We should be thanking the valiant Ukrainians for holding the line. They owe us nothing. We owe them.
