In case you hear about some "election expert" in Oregon today: The "spike" in voter numbers he's calling "proof of fraud" is literally just the 2016 Motor Voter Act, working as intended. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Per @brennancenter.org, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than to find legit fraud. ⚡️

For years, Trump has been spouting all kinds of harmful lies about immigrants. Now he’s exporting ICE, some of the United States’ literal worst, to an Olympics host city that has said they’re not welcome. It’s giving “every accusation is a confession.” 👀

A red-background graphic with the header text at the top reading: “ANOTHER @MERIREI-MADE POST…”.

The upper half shows two stacked news headlines.
The first is from The Independent and reads:
“Trump to send ICE agents to Milan Winter Olympics amid Minneapolis shooting backlash.”
Below it is a CNN World headline that reads:
“Italians furious over deployment of ICE agents to bolster US security at Winter Olympics.”

The lower half of the graphic features a large quote in white text on a dark red background, next to a photo of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. The quote reads:
“They’re not sending their best.

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.

They’re bringing drugs.
They’re bringing crime.
They’re rapists.”

‘An attempt to normalize a national militarized police force.’

-Janessa Goldbeck, Vet Voice Foundation

Experts warn it could be used to suppress protests, or even disrupt elections.”

Normally, National Guard units answer to their states’ governors. Trump’s order gives him control, creating a national protest-crushing force.

Trump’s order puts the Quick Reaction Forces under federal control for ‘civil disturbance operations.’

Translation: He’s trying to create a national protest-crushing force.”

“A leaked Pentagon memo, issued under Trump’s Executive Order 14339, directs every state (plus Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands) to form Quick Reaction Forces: new National Guard units trained specifically for riot control.

The training? Riot control with batons, shields, Tasers, and pepper spray.

To be ready by January 2026.”

Every state already has National Guard teams for real emergencies, like fires, floods, and hurricanes. They’re not meant to protect politicians or help ICE.

🧵 Trump’s administration said it couldn’t fund hunger relief, but it had no problem funding repression. They chose control over compassion, as per usual. 🧵

White background styled like an official government bulletin.

Top text: “Issued by the Office of Uncivil Response and Resource Misapplication.”

Gold parody seal featuring a headless eagle holding a gun and the Constitution.

Headline: “CAPITOL DIRECTIVE 14339: FEEDING THE FEAR, NOT THE PEOPLE.”

Body text:

“Millions were about to go hungry.

While food aid was in limbo, Trump ordered Quick Reaction Forces, federal units trained to keep protests quiet.

He found money to scare you, but not to feed you.”

Bottom line: “Public distribution authorized.”

Trump ended the roundtable by praising his “brave patriots,” promising medals, and bragging, “We have a nation that’s right now the hottest in the entire world… nobody’s doing better than we are financially.”Because even fascism gets a sales pitch.
