This administration isn’t just cruel — it’s messy. They sent the father to El Salvador, the mother to Venezuela, and left the baby in U.S. foster care. Now they’re smearing him as a gang member. It’s not just injustice. Its destruction disguised as policy. #MomSky

Judge Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, rules that the administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of TdA. It’s a wartime authority & we are not at war, he holds. On to the 5th Circuit & SCOTUS.

The anger at the damage this regime is doing matters—but it’s part of the chaos strategy. The admin and its handlers want us angry in all directions—including at each other. Unless we focus anger into organized action, every pull will keep us dancing on puppet strings. Don’t just react; respond.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?

Still awaiting comment from the “don’t tread on me” crowd.
The Trump administration now says they are allowed to enter your home to look for migrants without a warrant.
They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.
