'Make the people you hate mad': Expert reveals what's driving Trump's 'childish' actions https://twp.ai/4ioPnR

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Dear media: The story is not the tiny amount of violence that has occurred at some protests The story is the vast amounts of authoritarianism, police brutality, and groups of masked, unidentified federal agents trafficking people that's making us feel as if we MUST protest

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Are they shocked to find out the truth, or just shocked that he stopped holding up his end of the lie?

If Trump has to raid school children and working fathers in order to surpass Biden’s deportation numbers, then the only difference in their immigration policies is Fascism.

Trump and Hegseth are actively and overly turning the US military into a partisan political force in violation of the Constitution, and Republicans in Congress will say nothing as another pillar of the Republic comes crashing down.

📌NOTE: The same complicit corporate media that refused to call Trump a liar in his first term, is now refusing to label what we are seeing with our own eyes in L.A., fascism.

Deploying the military on U.S. soil against Americans was on page 555 of Project 2025. This was always their plan, and people voted for it anyway. America failed an open book test.

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

Trump is tougher on Gov. Newsome than he is on Vladimir Putin. It's all part of his war on blue states!

I'm posting this at least once a day and so should as many people as possible. As a child of the sixties protests at Columbia where I was pepper sprayed, billy clubbed and dragged by the hair, I know they will plant agitators in order to create the chaos they need to justify their violence. RESIST

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

What happened on January 6th was an insurrection, but Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard because he wanted the insurrection to succeed. What’s happening in LA is NOT an insurrection, but he did deploy the National Guard because he wants an excuse to use the Insurrection Act. Period.

Sen Bernie Sanders (I-VA) just now on CNN: "We have a President moving this country rapidly into authoritarianism. He's suing media who criticize him. He's going after law firms that have clients who were against him. He's suing universities who teach courses he doesn't like"

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”
