Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

News: I have obtained full transcripts of Peter Thiel's Secret Antichrist Lectures (as have multiple other journalists).

They were supposed to be embargoed until 9 a.m. tomorrow, but Reuters has a story up. (They may have gotten them from a different source)

If you think Trump cares about peace
more than Trump cares about Trump;
wait for his reaction
when someone else wins the Nobel Prize.

He'll tariff the hell out of them 😒
Someone inciting a war in his own country sure as shit doesn't deserve a peace prize.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

Periodic reminders:

Vaccines save lives & parents need discussions with trusted professionals, not propaganda.

Transgender children & their families need evidence based support, not stigma.

Autistic children & their families need evidence based support, not conspiracy theories.

Does major news media really not understand? No, the Justice Department’s reputation is not “on the line.“ Trump’s DOJ has crossed the red line of corruption repeatedly.
