AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

Well said. And if the federal laws won't do this, the states, which grant corporate status, can and should.

Where to start?
People in the UK opposing ethnic cleansing in Palestine, being rounded up and jailed?
Immigrants being rounded up in concentration camps in the US, regardless of legal status?
The only people who are safer in the US than in the UK are actual Nazis.

“This has all gone too far. A megalomaniacal imbecile, drunk with power, has seized the controls of the most powerful nation on earth and he is demonstrating daily that his sole intent is to abuse that power at the expense of the American people and the planet.”

Nothing says “peace” like inviting a fellow war criminal who’s actively invading a sovereign nation to help solve another war.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

The Children’s Story by James Clavell, published in 1963, was a warning about the present.
In a few short pages, a silky voiced teacher succeeds in brainwashing a classroom of children, turning them against their country, against their parents, and against basic freedoms.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

It’s time for the Supreme Court to finally issue a ruling on tariffs. The Court has already recognized that tariffs function as a tax on the American people. A president cannot unilaterally impose new taxes on American citizens that power belongs to Congress alone.

Finally, Europeans are taking to the streets to protest against the American aggression against Europe.

But it should not have taken this long. And it should not only be in 🇩🇰🇬🇱.

If you want your leaders to to stop their supplication to Trump and fight for you, then you need to tell them.
Thousands join 'Hands off Greenland' protests in Denmark against Trump
The protest followed Donald Trump's warning on Friday that he 'may put a tariff' on countries that oppose his plans to take over mineral-rich Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark.
