I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Trump is going to invoke The Insurrection Act.
Then it'll be martial law and suspending the elections.
Dictatorship is next.
Who will stop him?

Like a memory of riding a bike home in the evening. This is the third version I’ve painted of this scene, this time I used my left hand, ensuring a very different feel because it takes me about twice as long to complete them.

HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING!
A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside!
His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

Here we go again! Trump is lying again and insisting that it's Putin who wants a peace deal and not Zelensky, despite all of our former European allies stating that Moscow has little interest in ending the war.
Trump is clearly and indisputably a Russian asset, a traitor, and Putin's puppet!

❗️The head of Albania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Elisa Spiropali, has arrived in Kyiv.
Together with Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha, she honored the memory of fallen Ukrainian soldiers and saw destroyed Russian military equipment with her own eyes.

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march.
Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.

The insurrection act was always the end goal - I’ve been talking about this for months. He’s been trying to find a city that would push back enough to give him a (flimsy) excuse to do it

We really need cheering up. This will do the trick, but only for fans of Kurt Vonnegut. It must be the most classic Vonnegut paragraph of them all. If you've not read Slaughterhouse 5, Cat's Cradle or Hocus Pocus I recommend them, but not Bluebeard or Deadeye Dick, which are surprisingly dull.

This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty.
Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not “law and order.” It’s coercion—and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.
