This is a war, right?

The President of the United States,
Has declared WAR on his citizens.

The GOP house and Senate of the USA
The majority in SCOTUS.
The oligarchs of the US media
The Administration of this POTUS…

Have declared WAR on the citizens of the USA.

What is to be done?

By us?

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Is ICE where all of the boys in khaki and face masks riding in U-Haul trucks ended up?

A military-style operation is taking place outside the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois, featuring snipers stationed on rooftops and armored vehicles on the streets. Protesters are reportedly being abducted and vanished, signaling authoritarian repression in this Chicago suburb.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov
Ummm… is this what you had in mind?
Illinois State Police have joined forces with ICE in apparent violation of Illinois state laws.

Lots of videos as you requested.

Any response or action we should anticipate from you @govpritzker.illinois.gov ?

Illinois State Police have been documented aiding ICE at the Broadview, Illinois facility. While state law (the Illinois TRUST Act) bars troopers from directly enforcing immigration law, they have joined ICE

WA, CA, OR, and HI need more than just a West Coast Health Alliance. We need a West Coast Treaty Organization to pledge mutual defense against federal aggression.

Trump aide Peter Navarro said in an NPR video interview that “our mindset” is to prosecute numerous people before a deadline. That deadline is the 2026 election.

Global Sumud Flotilla

Lots going on in USA now, there is little coverage of this extraordinary international effort to aid Gaza..
