Trump labeling "antifa" a domestic terrorist group and then smearing Democratic organizations as antifa is right from fascist playbook. Mussolini and Hitler both criminalized opposing political parties on way to establishing one party rule. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...
Trump is now working to secure one party rule--just like Mussolini and Hitler did
History is screaming at us!

We at the El Paso Times have new updated photos of the East Montana ICE detention facility. It has massively expanded since we published the first photos back in August. The office of U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar told me there over 2,000 immigrants detained there*.

If your government says there's too many autistic kids, then eliminates the entire special education department, they don't care about autism, or kids, or education.

How are ICE agents allowed to wear the name Police across their tactical vests when they aren’t! This is impersonating a police officer in any other time line! God only knows who half of these men are that are grabbing people out of their vehicles with no warrant or reason! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

This story is well reported and worth reading.

Threatening to shoot an ambulance driver. That’s out of control.

Abolish ICE.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...
Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver
Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.

ICE agents are getting much more persistent about taking children and we never know where they’re taking them or even the identity of the ICE agents.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

Mass firings at US health dept. partially reversed but still devastating
Reports suggest the hardest hit is the CDC, which is already struggling to function.
