On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers.
It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!
Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america

The indictment of Letitia James should alarm us all.
It was meant to send a message: If you cross Trump, you could be next.
Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."
you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!
and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

For the fourth time in the past five weeks, Trump has ordered the US military to carry out an illegal strike on a civilian boat in international waters off the coast of Venezuela that posed no imminent threat to the United States. Four human beings were killed today for Trump’s political stunt.

Remember what Trump is actually attacking.
KAMALA HARRIS IN 2024: What you’re going to hear tonight is a detailed and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that Trump plans to implement.
TRUMP IN 2024: I have nothing to do with Project 2025.
TRUMP IN 2025: I’m meeting today with the architect of Project 2025 to implement it.
The Trump administration has asked 9 colleges to pledge support to Trump’s right-wing agenda to get priority access to federal funds.
The schools are the Arizona, Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, U Penn, USC, Texas, Vanderbilt, and UVA.
Any school that agrees to this blackmail should be ashamed.
Today marks the first day in public media’s history without federal funding. And we’re not going anywhere.
