US flags burned in Brazil in protest against US interference in the presidential elections. Trump, US money, foreign influence and disinformation networks were used to support far-right Bolsonaro’s campaign.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

We are sanctioning the ICC because we are a country that commits war crimes. We are buying diesel from Russia to fund Putin’s war machine because we are a country that likes *other* countries that commit war crimes.

...Trump himself has consistently expressed personal admiration for Putin. Some, no doubt, have a mix of these motives. But whatever the reason, for the first time in US history, the most influential figures in a presidential administration are trying to align the US with Russia.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.
A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.Marco Rubio, mouth agape, as he announces sweeping sanctions on the ICC to try to punish them for acknowledging Bibi Netanyahu’s war crimes

When we warned this was going to happen, over a year ago, we were accused of scaremongering. Apparently nothing like this could happen, "Because this is the US" was the most common response. The US is just another country and it can happen, and is happening as you sleepwalk into authoritarianism.
