It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Had to dig it up, didn't they? Couldn't just paint over it, could they? No, that wouldn't sufficiently demonstrate DeSantis' total disrespect for Floridians he disagrees with.

Under the direction of Gov. DeSantis and a mandate from the Trump admin’s Department of Transportation, dozens of workers from Florida’s DOT on Sunday evening bulldozed and sledgehammered an iconic Pride crosswalk located in the center of the predominantly gay South Beach neighborhood in Miami.

Why? That's what everyone should be asking.

Most foreign countries understand why 🇺🇸ns are fleeing

Spain in particular is very aware and is used to foreigners, even 🇺🇸ns, immigrating there...

There are more economically viable areas within 🇪🇸 for those wondering

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.
