Not a war zone.
Not a hell hole.
A beautiful and awesome place.

I know there's a lot going on but don't forget that instead of lowering the cost of goods and groceries on day one-he's raised the prices significantly.
It's almost impossible for middle class people to feed their families now.

Stephen Miller goes on camera saying ICE is fighting Antifa on the streets because the country is a war zone with dangerous criminals out to destroy America and then the video will just cut to a video of a group of ICE officers suplexing a 110-year-old blind nun

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Trump's actions and behavior are based on cowardice and weakness much the same as all bullies.
He is losing the support of his own base.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

By the looks of things in Chicago, being brown is now a crime.
They are literally stalking and chasing brown people and detaining Americans.
