Trump visited the Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan today.
A worker there shouted “Pedophile protector!” at him from the floor.
Trump said something and then flipped him off while walking away.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Donald Trump is deploying the military to our cities and using our servicemembers as political pawns.
Americans aren't asking for this. This is about one thing: Trump's agenda of fear and chaos.
Trump's authoritarian power grab must stop.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.
Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.
Many have speculated how he’d do it.
Now his gambit is clear.
DC was a test.
He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.
This is not a drill.
Democracy is at defcon 1.

After attending the abomination of the gathering of generals and admirals and being forced to listen to Hegseth and Trump speak their anti American bullshit. Vice Chief of Staff General Bossiere has submitted his resignation. I feel for these generals and admirals. Trump is destroying America .
