The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it.
They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing.
But we're keeping track of every single strike.
So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

Nazis always obsess over fonts.
In Germany, the Nazi Party initially pushed Fraktur and declared Futura 'un-Germanic', with designer Paul Renner going into exile.
Just before the war they flipped, adopting Futura for its modern feel and declaring heavy types like Fraktur as suspiciously Jewish.

This week Trump's ICE fascists illegally kidnapped & deported a 19-year-old girl to Honduras despite a court order to keep her in the USA—while Trump himself pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of running Honduras "like a narco-state" & accepted millions in bribes from drug traffickers. smh.
