A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.

When CBS claims they pulled the plug on Stephen Colbert's show solely for "financial" reasons, they are lying as the show is successful. Unless, of course, they mean they did it to avoid further financial shakedowns from extortionist Donald Trump.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's fascism.

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is dictatorship.

FYI: Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Donald Trump and DOGE got rid of too many Social Security staffers so wait times for help skyrocketed. Now the agency is playing musical chairs to try and fill in the gaps. Here's an idea: stop gutting the critical workforce that helps Americans every single day.
