Trump's latest move to curb protections from Wetlands to buy favor from the business communities he's been destroying will eventually kill human beings after laying waste to our precious wetlands and waterways. Nothing is safe. Nothing is sacred. Nothing the Trump administration does is pro life.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Welcome to our new America thanks to the Supreme Court Republican majority. Democracy is dying.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

In the blink of an eye we have untrained, overweight thugs wearing balaclavas invading our communities, schools and businesses to seize and “disappear” men, women and children based on racial profiling, with the approval of the republican majority on the Supreme Court. Democracy is dead.

It is difficult to imagine the level of cruelty and inhumanity empowered by Donald Trump, Steven Miller et al, and carried out by a weak, despicable, republican congress. A perfect storm that is destroying America.
