Clarification for those rushing to dismiss this as false: The House Judiciary Committee advanced a funding bill for immigration enforcement. Democrats proposed a simple, clear amendment—to explicitly state that U.S. citizens cannot be removed from the country by ICE. Republicans voted AGAINST that amendment.

"If Trump can disappear visa holders, asylum seekers, and legal permanent residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? Either everyone has due process — or no one does."

People who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever:

I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

Trump has drawn us into his fictional world. This is where democracy ends.

@PamelaBarroway @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world About 500 at the Tesla Dealership in Encinitas, CA. today.

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

~ Octavia Butler

There is so much palm-greasing going on in this Trump administration. It’s hard to believe there are so many public elected officials that are still “supporting” Trump without some kind of personal gain.

“The problem isn’t America’s people. People are people. What’s unique about this moment is the amount and quality of the propaganda. Until we get that, we will never begin to shake the malaise that can keep the mass mobilization we need from happening while it still can.”

The king of the deal is showing what the art of the deal is all about. He thinks he will intimidate China by lying down before Putin, but Xi Jinping, faced with such a shipwreck, is probably accelerating preparations for the invasion of Taiwan. 3/23

Washington has become the court of Nero, a fiery emperor, submissive courtiers & a ketamine-fueled jester in charge of purging the civil service.
This is a tragedy for the free world, but it is first & foremost a tragedy for the United States. Trump’s message is that there is no point in being his ally since he will not defend you, he will impose more customs duties on you than on his enemies & will threaten to seize your territories while supporting the dictatorships that invade you. 2/23

Transcript of a speech that will live forever in the history books... Claude Malhuret speaking to the French Senate on Tuesday, March 4, 2025:
▪️President, Mr. Prime Minister, Ladies and Gentlemen Ministers, My dear colleagues,
Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The American shield is crumbling, Ukraine risks being abandoned, Russia strengthened. 1/23

Never in history has a President of the United States capitulated to the enemy. Never has anyone supported an aggressor against an ally. Never has anyone trampled on the American Constitution, issued so many illegal decrees, dismissed judges who could have prevented him from doing so, dismissed the military general staff in one fell swoop, weakened all checks and balances, and taken control of social media. 4/23
