To All US Military Service Members: Trump’s order to capture Maduro and his wife, strike Venezuela, and potentially invade via troops on the ground is incontrovertibly an “illegal” order. You not only have the right but the obligation to refuse to follow illegal orders. Uphold the Constitution.

American voters will lose more than just elections if they don't vote to get every Republican out of congress as they can in 2026. They will erode any chance we have at fair and free elections in 2028. And that is because too many of you apathetic assholes don't vote like your lives depend on it!

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

The people have created an alert system - using horns and whistles - to protect communities during ICE raids— and it’s working ❤️🔥
When Customs and Border Protection and Commander Gregory Bovino move into town, so does Whistlemania.
Activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby.
