No, in this country we don’t tolerate senators being forced to the ground and cuffed for asking questions. We don’t tolerate masked agents rounding people up on the streets and disappearing them in unmarked vans. And we sure as hell don’t tolerate

the illegal hijacking of the US military to ramp up chaos and spectacle as we protest the fascist excesses of this regime.

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.

Trump’s Gaza deal may bring a welcome pause to years of bloodshed — but let’s be clear: one ceasefire doesn’t make him a peacemaker.
While he chases a Nobel Prize abroad, he’s been stoking violence at home.
Peace isn’t a brand. It’s a character test.

Trump wants to deploy troops in Oregon, but he keeps getting stopped by judges he appointed.

Also, he wants to put his face on a coin for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.”

… but what is plenary authority?

The Post laid off seemingly the remaining of their liberal-leaning staff members on Opinion last Thursday, when some of them were observing Yom Kippur.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.
