Democracy is Crumbling. Is Anybody Doing Anything?

Yes. And You Can Too.

Someone on Threads called 47 and Hegseth “Fat Man and Little Boy” because they bombed so hard yesterday, and if those aren’t their Secret Service code names by the end of the day, then what the hell are we even doing?

Tr*mp has taken a wrecking ball to the government, the economy, foreign policy, & what it means to be American. There is no cavalry coming to protect us from his unchecked power. It's up to US to protest corruption, incompetence, & abuses of power.

Time to stand a watch on the wall of democracy!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
