“Common sense can almost replace any degree of education, but no education can replace common sense.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
(*22.02.1788 / †21.09.1860)
Process matters more than labels.
Describing ICE as “Gestapo” or “SS” skips a step.

What you’re seeing is earlier—closer to the SA phase:
– arbitrary arrests
– coercion
– detention without due process, backed politically

BUT this is getting WORSE — if you ALLOW it to continue.

Someone who speaks truth to power.

I’m far from the U.S., but I care deeply about what happens to democracy there. It shapes the world we live in.

Voices like Major (Ret.) Richard Ojeda remind me what civic courage still looks like.

Democracies differ — some decide who decides, others decide together.

🇨🇭 In Switzerland’s direct democracy, people vote often — on local to national issues.
🇺🇸 In the U.S., most could vote every two years.

Most important in EVERY democracy: make yourself heard — and VOTE!
You hear “cancer” — your world stops.

In Switzerland, you think will I survive?
In the U.S., it’s can I afford to?

Every Swiss, even the poorest, is covered by insurance.
No ideology — a wealthy, conservative nation that cares.

Caring for people isn’t radical — it’s what civilization looks like.

In the end, leadership is measured by how we treat those who depend on us.

Some seem to have forgotten that — or never learned it.

That’s how leadership looks: mobilizing the National Guard to keep food flowing to families when federal aid stalls.

Real statesmen help people — responsibly, where needed. Wannabe kings chase vanity projects.

FULL PAY, ZERO OUTPUT

Let’s forget the $400,000 Trump gets for making your life harder.

Cabinet secretaries make $250,000+
- not doing their job.

Congress members earn $170,000+
- yet Republicans just follow Trump.

You ’d be fired working like this.

So, FIRE THEM!

GERMANY, 1935.
The highest administrative court ruled political detentions were

NOT subject to appeal
NOT open to legal review
NOT protected by due process

That’s HOW the RULE OF LAW was DISMANTLED — from the BENCH.

A 6 to 3 Supreme Court ruling grants the executive branch the power to deport migrants to third countries.

WITHOUT notice
WITHOUT hearing
WITHOUT judicial review

This is the JUDICIAL SUSPENSION of DUE PROCESS – in PLAIN SIGHT.

If you voted for Trump:
– maybe you were just naive.
– maybe just angry.
– or maybe you knew exactly what he was.

Didn’t vote?
Maybe you just couldn’t be bothered.

He just sent Marines to LA!
NO REBELLION, NO MANDATE, JUST POWER!

On some top airlines, they might even hand you one during the safety briefing.

But don’t forget to take it off right after you clear the airport.

Stephen Miller wouldn’t be a U.S. citizen - if America hadn’t once welcomed Jewish refugees fleeing pogroms in Belarus (1903).

Now he wants to close that door for refugees.

Why would cows choose the butcher over the farmer?
Because he promised more food, blamed the farmer for everything bad, and mooed just like them.

But:
The farmer cared for them - the butcher wooed them.
Now some already bleed. The rest still cheer.

“Radical left.”
“He’s a lunatic.”

That’s what a conservative, federal judge gets called by a U.S. president —
for upholding the law.
For not surrendering to threats.

What a shame!
And what a warning!

#RuleOfLaw #DueProcess #MeidasTouch #Judiciary #ChecksAndBalances

“Purge the system.”
“Radical left lunatic judge“ - is what Trumpists say.

Like in Russia. Hungary.

History warns:
Freedom dies in small steps.

NO DUE PROCESS -
NO FREEDOM

Not for YOU. Not for ANYONE.

Do you still watch in silence?
