The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Needing something crunchy to help with self-regulation and not keep yelling at the Tv. Made enough for neighbors and service people who come to the house.

I’ve worked to save lives...and to stop people from becoming statistics. When breathing stops, hearts stop, or bleeding isn’t controlled, 2–3 minutes can mean death.

Reports say ICE blocked medical care for Renee Good for 15 minutes. I've seen what happens beyond 2-3 min.

Now, you have...too.

I just called the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office to demand a full investigation into the shooting death of Renee Good. No answer on either line.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".

They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.

There is nothing "lawful" about it.

tRump's play in Greenland is to try to split the EU's support of Ukraine so Russia can make a push there. Fiona Hill warned of this in 2019. If EU has to focus on Greenland, worry about the breakup of NATO, they will have fewer resources for Ukraine. That is the goal.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Get ready for the “Trump was a young playboy” propaganda even though he was 50 and the girls were 14.

Nov. 14 2025 Wilmer was mauled by ICE attack dog. He was NOT resisting arrest. His wife & children 2 & 3 yrs all US citizens watched helplessly as he was violently attacked and dragged away. He was denied basic medical care following this unprovoked assault. This is HORRIFIC‼️

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.
