Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.

This is dictatorship.

Who would have thought the next rise ofFascism would have been in the US

This is literally whatFascists do…

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.

Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

This is how Fascism works…

Create a poor economy with tariffs…

Hustle down corporate law,big business home+overseas…
Trade loyalty+donations for tax relief+sanction breaks…

Tells the base he can fix it…

Removes his own tariffs…

MAGA celebrate Trump as a genius for fixing the economy he created…
