A statement from the NRA suggests that the Second Amendment applies only to some people.

Not all US citizens have this right now.

This is Alex Pretti. The real man, not the lies they are telling about him. A REAL AMERICAN.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

But they have no jurisdiction over US citizens, right Justice Kavanaugh?
Missed this a few days ago:

Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

Westerville HS students walked out to protest ICE, refusing to accept a system that cages, deports, and terrorizes families. This is what moral clarity looks like. This is youth-led resistance. This is what courage looks like. Join them!

She is after personal glory, not democracy and freedom for Venezuelans, which becomes more evident with every interview she gives.
In a seemingly desperate bid to regain favor with the U.S. president, the 2025 recipient of the prestigious honor—Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado—offered to give her medal to Trump after he announced he would not back her to run the country she’s fought to reclaim. trib.al/0HwEzfr

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷).

At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario.

All speculation, but let me explain:

*If* this was just a coup intended to put Delcy in power, it may functionally be pretext for the U.S. to "switch sides" from the Venezuelan people (represented by exiled opposition leaders) to the Venezuelan dictatorship (now represented by Rodriguez).

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs.

"If the federal government had said, ‘Oh, it's a 10% tariff, constant,' … they might've worked things out," an employee said. "But no. It's just chaos."
