This week, Trump quietly released his National Security Strategy. It totally abandons the idea that we should stand up for freedom & human rights around the world. Instead, it lectures our European allies & embraces authoritarian leaders who enrich the Trump family & their billionaire friends.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in
The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

D.C. is not a dangerous city. Nor is L.A. The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE. They are committing crimes. They are terrorizing communities. They are tearing families apart. They are kidnapping people. They are the problem. And we the people are done with them.
