WATCH: A nurse nearly blinded by a tear gas canister. Protesters trapped, struggling to breathe.

Under Trump 2.0, federal agents have routinely countered protesters using crowd control weapons and fired on people in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

The Hollow Men: Hegseth, War Crimes, and the End of American Empire The criminal regime's acts are wearing thin, which puts us all in incredible danger

Trump and cronies like Pete Hegseth aren’t just criminal incompetents, they’re utterly dangerous.

The combination of cruelty, inadequacy, and corruption destabilizes and endangers all of us, and every day it gets worse and worse.

A first-grader is β€˜missing’ after ICE detained his father, advocates say β€˜Nobody knows’ where first-grader Yuanxin is being held, according to immigrants’ rights advocates

There is a 6 year old child kidnapped from the streets of New York :

After going in for a scheduled immigration appointment.

This is THE SAME NYC that had LAWS to make sure Chinese men did not have families

But we still need debates on racism?

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on β€œsuspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

As a veteran who served in intelligence, I want to introduce you to EXORDS: the execute order from the President to SecDef. This allows 60 days operations under the War Powers Act. The President must advise Congress and gain approval to continue.
No EXORD was sent to Congress. This is illegal

The Texas Comptroller’s office announced Tuesday it is removing women- and minority-owned businesses from the state program intended to give additional exposure to businesses owned by economically disadvantaged groups. It is effective immediately. www.texastribune.org/2025/12/02/t...

Hegseth has no clue what β€œfog of war” really means, he’s just throwing out a term and he’s hoping that will safe him.

ICE and DHS are separating young children from their parents and disappearing them.

6 year old Yuanxin was separated from his father after a routine immigration check in on Nov. 26th.

Yuanxin's father was not told where his son was being sent.

Yuanxin'swhereabouts are still unknown.
