Trump's puppy killer sycophant Noem: "One of the individuals we arrested recently was the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa"

Organization against fascism also known as Antifa began around 1920 when fascism became the state ideology of Italy in 1922 & Germany in 1933.

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

Some 500 National Guard troops were deployed near Chicago on Wednesday on President Donald Trump's orders despite the objections of the Chicago mayor and Illinois governor, who decried the militarization of their city as an unnecessary provocation.

So Trump’s lauded peace plan is really Israel continuing to destroy Gaza, flattening it to rubble, killing as many people as possible before actually ‘ceasing’? The ceasefire will be with a decimated warscape - where Trump can build the hotel & condo heaven he desires? Not much blood on his hands!

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Alberta launched its border patrol last year to help stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across what Premier Smith called the “leaky” U.S. border.

But the Interdiction Patrol Team has so far made only a handful of arrests, according to data released through an access to information request.

Republicans could draw 19 more House seats if the court allows gerrymandering which dilutes the voting power of racial minorities.
