I’ll say it as plainly as I can:
Donald Trump knows he and his racist allies are a tiny minority. Yet he openly spouts his hate with an election just nine months away.
Which means the midterms and public opinion mean nothing to him.
That, my friends, is how a dictator thinks.

The rest of the world made their message clear:
We can move on without Donald Trump.
We can move on without MAGA.
MAGA is not America.
MAGA and America are not the world.
Let their ideas rot in the last millennium.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

The more this racist doubles down, the more he alienates fair-minded people, swing voters.
Which means, he’s not worried about elections.
He’s reaching out to his hard-core base and the racist gun-and-badge-carrying goons he expects will steal the next two elections for him.

Get over it, Donald: A majority of Americans don’t like you, and most of that majority despises you.
“Areas of our country that are corrupt”. That’s Donald Trump speak for areas he lost the last election in. Nationalizing elections is not going to happen and the GOP including Fuhrer Trump know it. It’s up to all of us to make sure that fact is pounded into their heads daily!

Those detention facilities ICE is getting? Who do you think will be imprisoned there after Trump runs out of immigrants?
Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Think of Minneapolis in this way:
Cops wearing masks stop traffic , smash windows and drag people out of cars — for misdemeanor traffic violations.
That’s what #ICE is doing in Minnesota.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting
A number of pro-gun rights Republicans pushed back on the administration's argument that Alex Pretti was dangerous because he had a gun. Pretti was legally licensed to carry one.
