Corporate media and their paid propagandist's have determined that dictatorship is more profitable than democracy.

First rule of Trump Club: He always lies.
Second rule of Trump Club: His supporters always lie.
Third rule of Trump Club: The media amplifies the lies.

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.

Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid

The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

Trump refugee plan seeks 7,000 Afrikaners — and virtually no one else

The Trump administration’s rush to process thousands of White South Africans as refugees coincides with plans for overall admissions set as low as 7,500.

Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

Trump: "It looks like we're gonna have a Communist as the mayor of New York. But here's the good news -- he's gotta go through the White House. Everything goes through the White House. At least this White House it does."
