Trump's threats to annex democratic countries even though their citizens do not vote for this move show that he has mentally abandoned democracy and thus severed his government from the Constitution. No American owes his government loyalty if he invades.

Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.

The Trump regime released its 2025 National Security Strategy—which appears to have been co-authored by the PayPal Mafia and Aleksandr Dugin.
It is a plan to break America away from the world, break the will of the people, and benefit Vladimir Putin.

Day 1381 of Ukraine fighting for its life, fighting for the lives of every single person in the largest country entirely within Europe.
Imagine going to bed 1,381 times in a row not knowing if you'll be woken by missiles, if you'll still have a home or even be alive.
