I keep thinking about how events like this morning’s assassination and attempt could have possibly been prevented if national intelligence had picked up a domestic terrorism threat but instead FBI agents have been quietly reassigned to support ICE operations.

In just five days, Trump’s administration indicted a Democratic member of Congress for engaging in oversight, threatened to arrest a Democratic governor for governing in accord with his mandate, and handcuffed a Democratic senator for asking a question at a press event. Join tomorrow’s protest!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Remember when Trump claimed the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Well, his administration just denied the state’s request for continued FEMA relief assistance. This hypocrisy isn’t just staggering. It’s cruel.

Odd that nobody is proving that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is still alive. Did the Trump administration pay to have an unconvicted man assassinated by a foreign authoritarian dictator in a subcontracted concentration camp? We need answers NOW

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

Here you have two sitting presidents both claiming to not have the power to return a man they erroneously deported and detained. All while Trump also floated sending US citizens to El Salvador for crimes.

If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all.

Interestingly enough, if you take the top 10 largest dollar drops, the entire chart is Trump and Bush 43. Weird how Obama and Biden aren’t on there, despite the growth of the $DJIA over the years.

What's absolutely wild about this is the way they've manufactured a global financial crisis for no reason at all. This isn't 2007-08, where it was a bubble bursting. This is taking a relatively thriving economy and deliberately destroying it in the first three months of your presidency.
