No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury. No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty. You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse. Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Hate won the election! We are only UNITED in our current suffering! It’s sad that social issues that have nothing to do with if you have food, clothes, nor a home, divided us. The hate for groups of people allowed him to make us less safe domestically, economically, and frankly mentally.

Now Trump wants to make it HARDER to vote if your name doesn’t exactly match on every doc?? That hits married folks who change their names, disaster survivors who lost paperwork, and so many others. This ain’t about security—it’s suppression.

1. In a devastating ruling, the traditionally progressive 9th Circuit Court has allowed Idaho's bathroom ban for trans students. They rule that "common experience" is enough to assume trans students are a harm to cis ones. The panel was majority Dem appointed. Subscribe to support my journalism.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.
