During the Obama administration, Oregon Republicans were convinced the federal black helicopters were coming for them at any moment. Today they’re posting videos of black helicopters over Portland & cheering giddily about it. They hate their senator who is speaking out against the black helicopters.

Unhappy at being stuck in traffic, masked ICE agents deploy tear gas. An infant was hospitalized because of this.

Tell me again that Trump did not openly declare war on Chicago in his Quantico speech.

When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but rather that a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude.

The president authorized the use of “full force” against an American city, then went golfing right after.

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Trump: ‘We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale “FLOODING” of these products

If we're calibrating current events according to the Niemöller poem scale, how late in the poem does "and then they came for the former head of the national police force who was a member of the ruler's party who helped him get elected" come?
