Here is a link to the segment on the TV program 60 Minutes about the Venezuelans sent to a horrible prison in El Salvador. It was shown in Canada last Sunday but not in the US. CBS is apparently afraid to show it here.

“This morning, WaPo confirmed what many of us have been warning about since Trump’s reelection, namely that behind closed doors the admin has begun a sweeping, ideologically driven campaign to treat left-leaning Americans as a domestic terrorist threat.” www.defiance.news/p/have-you-c...
Have you called Trump a "fascist?" If so, he might officially designate you a "terrorist."
Trump administration dramatically ramps up investigations of liberals and left-leaning groups under the guise of countering "domestic terrorism."

We Are Helpless to Stop Mass Shootings—and the Right’s Lies About Them
Republicans are claiming that one of the victims of the Brown University shooting was targeted because of her politics. There’s no evidence of that. And yet, it has become a dominant narrative online.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

After bringing white South Africans to the United States as refugees earlier this year, the Trump administration has now granted protection to members of far-right European parties.
This plan, which recently became official, makes the country's refugee program into a tool for white nationalism.
