The consequences are tangible.
• Is that ICE agent real?
• Am I being entrapped?

Democratic trust dies in ambiguity.

If DHS can go undercover digitally, it only emboldens real impersonators. Fake agents. Fake badges. Fake warrants.

We’re living in a dangerous fog of official mistrust.

DHS didn’t just monitor. They pretended. Fake names. Fake stories. All to gain access to online communities — especially immigrant ones — under false pretenses. This isn’t just online espionage. When our government wears a digital mask, how do citizens distinguish real authority from scams in vests?

This is beyond dangerous and strategically incoherent. He has:
• Zero understanding of Middle East alliance dynamics.
• No respect for international law or consultation with Congress.
• A destructive impulse to act first, then retroactively justify.

We gave a dystopian dictator the nuclear codes.

Media is drowned out by disinformation echo chambers – supercharged biased algorithms on billionaire-owned platforms rewarding outrage vs truth.

People are tired. Afraid. Inflation, burnout, disillusionment, living in a country where gaslighting is a national sport. They’re retreating into apathy.

The courts are slow, fractured, and in some areas compromised. Strategic appointments and delays have turned into prolonged procedural purgatories.

Congress is paralyzed. Those with a spine risk retribution or primary challenges from MAGA if they speak out. So most fall in line, or stay silent.
