The Trump regime thinks we can't watch videos. Alex Pretti was shot by multiple ice agents at least 10 times, in the back, when he had already been pinned to the ground. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us...

Trump just openly declared that invoking the Insurrection Act will let him implement his immigration crackdown without going "through the court system."
That's nonsense, but it's telling: Trump *thinks* it allows him to rule like a military dictator. 1/

Trump Blurts Out Real Reason for Insurrection Act Threat—and It’s Dark
He thinks it lets him abuse his power however he wants. It’s up to the courts—and the American people—to show him otherwise.

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement.
What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections.
