Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

This does not sit well for the American people. Our gut is telling us something is wrong here.
The question comes up over and over again: if there’s nothing to hide, then why is the President engaged in such a clear cover up and pressure campaign of Members of Congress?

All power to all the people for all time. A huge source of revolutionary optimism. Inspiration. They literally wrote the book on how to fire your boss. Of course the government and the CIA are going to demonize it. Elevate fascism. People power scares them. Wake up.
