The Founders tried to construct a government that featured all kinds of guardrails to protect liberty. They didn’t want to count too much on uncommon courage or wisdom from the people. And yet that's what it's coming down to.

It’s Getting Worse.

The Trump administration’s assault on the rest of us is intensifying.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

We all know Donald Trump raped #KatieJohnson multiple times. If you haven’t had the opportunity to watch her 30 minute interview, grab a chair and a box of tissue. She’s remaining out of the public eye but I hope she finds a safe space to speak out soon. #SheShed #Pinks

These *men* showed up at this market and grabbed the owner for no reason dressed in plain clothes with no identification.

They threw him to the ground as a Combat Vet shopping there calls the police on them! There was no warrant and he was a citizen.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

NYT wrote a 2,400 word story abt Todd Blanche without mentioning that he personally ordered the arrest of Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, and as such is deeply implicated in @replamonica.bsky.social case.

The front page of a NYT story, titled, "Part Enabler, Part Buffer: the Bind of the Justice Dept's No. 2"

A picture shows Blanche partly visible behind a journalist's raised hand.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
