You see what's happening in DC?

They're setting us up for martial law in America.

You okay with that?

BREAKING: DC is in chaos tonight as massive protests flood the streets. Trump has called in the National Guard over some bullshit “violent crime emergency” he just made up.

This isn’t law & order—this is fascism in broad daylight.

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

If you have time to try to take over the US Capitol, AGAIN …

You have time to release the Epstein documents.

I asked a retired Oxford historian about the most catastrophic historical event in his lifetime; he said Munich. He then added that the election of Donald Trump in 2024 will be even worse.

Data audit logs obtained by anonymous researchers showed that cops across the country had access to license plate info collected by Flock Safety, even in states (like Illinois) where police are prohibited from assisting immigration enforcement:
