Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Merrick Garland helped elect Trump again by dragging his feet to "restore trust" in the DOJ. Thanks to Garland, Trump has weaponized the DOJ and obliterated that trust. Garland failed to recognize the threat posed to our democracy by Trump and to act urgently. moderndiplomacy.eu/2025/03/24/h...

One problem is that many voters never had to think how important competent government was because despite right wing rhetoric things were run fairly well, in the background in ways they would never know because it didn't break. We are now entering the FAFO era of fed government administration.

Americans put in the Oval Office a man who does not give a damn about the Constitution or the rule of law, but only about consolidating power & wealth for himself & his cronies. Every day we can see the fateful consequences of this disaster--and We the People must decide how long we'll tolerate it.

It's still hard to find eggs, and it will be soon difficult to find all the things we use that are made in China, but you can have all the salmonella you want! (Spoiler alert: American big business have always opposed food safety regulations as "flawed/unnecessary" in favor of their profits).

The biggest threat to the security of the United States is now coming from within our own government. And why is Hegseth so desperate to bypass official secure and approved communication platforms? What is he trying to hide? Or is it the people he's communicating with that he's trying to hide?

Trump orders a probe into ActBlue with zero evidence, using state power to attack the Democratic fundraising system. It’s a deliberate move to criminalize political opposition and poison public trust—pure authoritarian playbook.

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

After citing Trump's tariffs as an excuse for mass layoffs, automaker Stellantis is rewarding shareholders with a $2.26B payout. Big corporations will use any cover they can — like inflation or tariffs — to pad profits and line their pockets at workers expense. Know the truth.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Everyone in America needs to be alarmed when due process is ignored. Without it, you can’t appeal. You can't prove who you are, just like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Even if you’re a citizen, you are now guilty of whatever crime they have labeled you guilty of. No one is safe under fascism.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 - The sociopathic sexual predator business fraud felon you put back in the office he tried to steal just stood in the White House & said that he wants to send American citizens to concentration camps in El Salvador. So, fuck you.

Within one week, ICE has advertised about “illegal” ideas and Trump has boasted about imprisoning American citizens in foreign concentration camps. Add to that the expanded surveillance mechanisms created by outfits like Palantir and Musk’s access to our data. It’s easy to see where this is headed.
