Trump’s latest executive order doesn’t need the Insurrection Act, it arms local cops like soldiers, shields them from accountability, and targets DEI policies as criminal. It’s Project 2025 in action, one suburb at a time. #policestate #civilrights

This is call enslavement
Trump is going to ship US citizens to foreign work/torture camps, with no due process, for life. No one is safe in Trump's America, there is no constitution, there are no checks & balances, just the whims of a corrupt madman.
Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.
