Omfg! We should've gone after Erik Prince when Biden was president. His company is involved in drone strikes on civilians in Haiti. He is a deeply evil man. I don't want to think about what trump's regime would use this for. I will never forgive people who voted for him. www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

Haiti: Drone Strikes Put Residents at Risk
Haitian security forces and private contractors working with them have conducted extensive and apparently unlawful lethal drone strikes.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown. There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law. You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.

Prosecute his enemies
Order mass deportations
Use soldiers against citizens
