Demos already seen in Paris🇫🇷, Amsterdam🇳🇱 & Lisbon🇵🇹.

Donald Trump has illegally invoked The Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority, to detain and deport Venezuelan immigrants he deems to be members of criminal gang Tren de Aragua.

This was last invoked during WWII to justify the internment of Japanese-Americans.

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA.

Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people.

This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become.
It's targeted harassment.

"They have borrowed directly from Nazi sources to make the very same points that the Nazis were making. They understand very well that the way to establish a form of government that is not bound by law or reason is to declare a state of emergency."
Beware Trump’s Talk of Coming “Emergencies”
Far-right rhetoric is suffused with dark talk of impending calamities. It’s a favorite trope of autocrats who are, themselves, the calamity.

Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin.

At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.

In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can rule this country like kings.

House Republicans think they can steal from working families to fund billionaire tax cuts.

They all think we'll sit back and let them get away with it.

House Republicans just took the first step towards passing their plans to cut health care and hike the cost of groceries for millions of people.

Why? To pay for tax giveaways for billionaires and billionaire corporations.

Working people won't forget this. We need to fight back.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense.
