What if “peace” was just intermission?
The hostages are home, the speeches made — and within hours, Israel was firing again.

Maybe the real question isn’t what happened… it’s what’s next.

This is their goal. This is why they use the tactics they do.
It will be turned on us, and we must not bend the knee in advance.

It's always useful to see ourselves as others see us.

We need to know these people could start things - be safe and be aware of what's going on around you.

Do NOT be afraid.

📣Protesting is important. It is a visible reminder that we are not alone and that we are not powerless. It sends a message to those weak men in DC: that we will not give up our freedoms without a fight 🇺🇸

See you on Saturday. Bring friends 💪

The White House is freaking out about the No Kings protest against Trump and his fascist authoritarian regime's Nazification of America. Apparently, Americans are not cool with Stephen Miller's "plenary authority" claim that Trump has the same ultimate power as Hitler once did.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’
Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

President Trump was just caught on a hot mic talking with the president of Indonesia.

He may have been talking about his business interests in the country–which would be exactly the kind of conflict of interest we’ve been warning about for years. 🧵

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
