No, Speaker Johnson: The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a “hate America” rally. Quite the contrary. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

Every American should watch this interview. This is what is happening. ICE are politically empowered thugs against democracy substack.com/@thedangerou...

We really need to spread this everywhere. This story is breaking through, even to MAGA folks. ICE is out of control, waging indiscriminate violence. Even on members of the clergy.

🔥Why does Donald Trump hate our country so much? These layoffs come right out of the project 2025 playbook which they’ve always been disingenuous about but now they’re full throttle. So much collateral damage. SICKENING and CRUEL because you know who’s going to suffer? US!

For the folks saying politics doesn’t affect you— this is proof that it does.
It impacts everyone.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
