The SAVE Act is meant to make voting harder and more intimidating so people don't do it. When you combine it with ICE agents potentially being deployed at the polls, it's clear what Trump is trying to do before the midterms - make it harder to vote.

The problem with getting older is that your birthdays lose meaning apparently. Today I got a whole wopping 3 text messages wishing my happy birthday. Not even from my family. I guess this is the beginning of the end.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

More examples of this administration taking care of the troops.
"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

For years now, the MAGA crowd has been absolutely convinced that the Biden administration engaged in the most egregious censorship campaign in American history. They've waved around the Murthy v. Missouri case as proof that Biden officials illegally pressured tech companies to remove content (even as the Supreme Court concluded there wasn’t even enough evidence of any coercion to give any of the plaintiffs standing).
