POST 17...Call your representatives and demand they investigate Trump’s January 20 order. Push the media to report on the Insurrection Act report before it’s too late.

A handful of rulings. A few headlines. But the system kept grinding, unchecked and cruel. So if you’re waiting for ...

POST 9...Because it wasn’t about the border. It was about the optics. It was about laying the emotional groundwork for invoking the Insurrection Act.

POST 5...We’ve seen this before. In June 2020, after the murder of George Floyd, millions of Americans rose up in protest. Trump didn’t respond with compassion—he called for “domination.” When the military hesitated to invoke the Insurrection Act, Trump sent federal forces to violently clear...
