Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.
It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.
Yet people who drool ‘freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

The company's co-owner brought a flier opposing a pending change limiting Medicare $ for his products.
The next day, Trump posted the flier on Truth Social.

So Netanyahu says Israel will take over the entire Gaza Strip. Does that mean he’ll finally allow aid in unblocked to stop the mass starvation?
There needs to be a third-party (not the U.S) overseeing this. Netanyahu should not be given an ounce more power.

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday.
The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE
