The parade is neither a roaring call to patriotism or tyrannical show of might. It's something much worse--boring

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Trump wants to control what’s taught in colleges—but the U.S. leads the world in top universities for a reason. Because we funded innovation & let them operate freely—they thrived. Now Trump wants to gut that. Reminder: Presidents can’t legally defund schools. This is authoritarian cosplay!

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Of course, there’s more: Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and his team used personal Gmail for government business. One of Waltz’s top aides even sent highly sensitive military data—positions, weapons systems, and war intel—over Gmail. But Hillary’s emails are the real scandal.
