Another wag-the-dog distraction from an administration that calls impulse control optional.

The SAVE Act will prevent eligible Americans from voting, regardless of party affiliation.

Call your senators. Reject the SAVE Act.

- Military and tribal voters who cannot use their ID cards
- Trans voters whose info may not match the required documents

Contact your U.S. senator to express your concern and ask them to vote against it.

- Married women who changed their last name, regardless of party affiliation
- Rural voters without nearby access to a passport office
- Older Americans who lost their birth certificates
- Disaster survivors whose documents were destroyed

Tonight’s β€œState of the Union” felt less like a report to the country and more like a hot-air convention.

Facts dodged. Reality rewritten. Accountability nowhere in sight.

Just noise. πŸ’¨

β€œFBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn't running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show,” the Associated Press reports.

Huh. OK. So there you have it. Make of that what you will.

300 peaceful protesters!

Great turnout this morning in front of Congressman Ciscomani’s office! (No longer can call him a representative for obvious reasons).

And froggy and Juan were there! Join us! We are there (Swan & Pima) every Saturday 9-11am, come rain, shine, or fences!

Who’s really cooking policy here? The rat pulls the strings, along with the Heritage Foundation.

When the facts don’t cooperate, shout louder. Bonus points if the bystander videos catch the truth from multiple angles.

Sweden becomes the 2nd European country to defy Donald Trump by selling billions of U.S. Treasury Bonds!

When foreign holders sell U.S. Treasuries:
β€’ Home, auto, and credit card borrowing gets more expensive, hitting ordinary Americans, not politicians.
β€’ Confidence in U.S. finances weakens, global power erodes, imports cost more, and inflation pressure rises.

The U.S. doesn’t get to bully allies without consequences anymore.

Europe holds trillions in U.S. debt. Denmark just started dumping it. Other countries will do the same.

Within hours, Trump administration spokespeople rushed to call it β€œself-defense” and recast the narrative.

Independent video evidence tells a very different story.

The curtain’s open. This is fascism in action.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, an ICU nurse at the VA hospital, was shot and killed by federal agents in broad daylight in Minneapolis.

So call your members of Congress. Tell them to stop funding DHS/ICE’s abuses. If they keep bankrolling this, they own every violation that follows.

Defunding abuse isn’t radical. Pretending this is acceptable absolutely is.

An agency that treats constitutional rights as optional is not protecting anyone. It’s broadcasting that intimidation is the point.

Our taxpayer money is being used to terrorize people. Not β€œenforce laws.” Not β€œkeep communities safe.” Terrorize. Kick down doors without warrants. Target people because of their skin color. Detain people with no due process. And somehow Congress keeps signing the checks like this is normal.

What the actual 🀬 ?

Yes, it’s true! ICE detained enrolled members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in Minneapolis and transferred three of them to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling.

This is not a mistake.
It’s illegal detention.
It’s a treaty violation.

Release them. Now.

This is the pattern.
Intimidation β†’ manufactured β€œthreat” β†’ deadly force β†’ official justification.
None of it is lawful. All of it is predictable.

The Trump administration responded with spin, not facts. Post-hoc claims don’t change the standard.

Running away is not an imminent threat. And it’s not a death sentence.

Federal policy is clear: deadly force may not be used solely to stop someone from fleeing.

A woman in Minnesota was shot and killed while trying to get away from ICE agents. If flight was the justification, that violates DOJ use-of-force rules.

Frank Zappa wasn’t being clever. He was naming the system.

Politics as spectacle keeps people entertained while power operates offstage.

That wasn’t a warning. It was a diagnosis.
