To those who voted for this administration, is THIS the “law and order” you envisioned—children in tears, families torn apart, and innocent people detained at record levels?
Is This What You Voted For?
When law enforcement becomes legalized assault against citizens, it's no longer called "law and order." It's called authoritarianism.

Remember the outrage when Melissa Hortman was murdered? The outpouring of support when Paul Pelosi was bludgeoned with a happer?
Yeah… me neither.
What I do remember are the jokes.
The mockery.
The indifference.

I’m so sick of the hypocrisy regarding Charlie Kirk’s death.
Charlie Kirk and the Politics of Grief
Selective outrage and Project 2025 echo the darkest warnings of Orwell’s 1984.

“Some of the loudest voices preaching “love thy neighbor” are the first to look away when that neighbor is hungry, undocumented, uninsured, trans, gay, poor, pregnant, or just plain different. They sing about Jesus on Sunday but turn a blind eye to suffering.”
Love thy Neighbor (Some Restrictions Apply)
When love is conditional,  "love thy neighbor” is less of a commandment and more an empty slogan.

NEWS: Trump is inching closer to illegally invoking the Insurrection Act.

If ever there was a moment for America’s governors — especially in Blue States — to hold an emergency summit, it’s now.

The federal government is plotting invasions of their states.

In ordinary times, Americans go about their daily lives without much worry about who is running the Office of Management and Budget, a powerful, low-profile agency tasked with executing the federal budget.

These are not ordinary times. @contrariannews.org

Russell Vought is the tool of a dangerous elite
He wields his budget hammer not in service to the people or the Constitution, but for the billionaire class.

@whitehouse.senate.gov, thank you for not backing down. Keep speaking for us. We need you now more than ever!

@fredguttenberg.bsky.social, this is exactly what they want. Sadly, until the MAGA followers begin to hurt from their decisions, they’ll continue to cheer for this madness.

Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! The country is watching this craziness and we appreciate you!

Thank you for standing strong and asking the hard questions. Keep asking them even if they keep dodging them.
