Trump’s 'National Security Strategy' declares the US will focus on 'cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.' That amounts to a declaration the US will promote regime change in countries that remain governed by pro-democracy parties that support the EU and NATO"
Make America Weak
Trump is systematically undermining America's interests at home and abroad.

Just think about the great Peace Dividend that the termination of their budget would yield
i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"
How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀

Ronald Reagan kicked off his 1980 presidential campaign with a speech in Neshoba County, Mississippi, where 3 civil rights workers were murdered by the KKK.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

1. A blockade is an act of war
2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered. Masked men eventually left, and one man on the roof was taken away by ambulance kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

To keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of predatory violence, ICE recruiters are offering bribes to seduce gullible individuals into doing harm to their neighbors.
To counter this, we have prepared a video and poster campaign of our own.

Shame, said Marx, can be a revolutionary sentiment. And the opposite is also the case, the lack of shame is reactionary.

A Paramount-Warner Bros. merger would be a five-alarm antitrust fire.
Not to mention it's backed by a who's who of Trump buddies and foreign money.
The government's review of any deal needs to be based on the law and facts — not who sucked up the most to Donald Trump.
