EXCLUSIVE: American Security Contractor Unloads On US-Israeli ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’

They disappear your neighbors, they attack you if you protest that, and they handcuff Senators who question them on it all

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question.

Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.)

The Trump regime is out of control.

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

Embattled US Ruler Deploys Armed Troops Against Citizens Amid Mass Protests Over Regime’s Kidnapping Spree — One Day After Oligarch Ally Alleges Links to Epstein Scandal

Trump authorizes 2,000 national guard troops to deploy to LA amid Ice protests California governor calls move ‘purposefully inflammatory’ and says it will ‘escalate tensions’ amid immigration crackdown Donald Trump on Saturday authorized the deployment of 2,000 national guard troops to Los Angeles, after an immigration crackdown erupted into mass protests for a second day and police in riot gear used teargas on bystanders.

Trump Republicanism targets firefighters, first responders, miners, people who work in manufacturing:

"We’re really losing 40 years worth of work. Even if they restart them, we’re going to have lost so many people to follow up...”

Experts say AI was used to create MAHA report and cited false studies Experts found evidence that scientific citations in the MAHA report were generated by AI, which experts slammed as ‘sloppy’ and ‘shoddy’

Experts reviewing RFKJr's magnum opus MAHA health report conclude that the whole document was faked by someone using Chatbot AI, and was probably never even proof read. They're not just fraudsters, they're very lazy, too. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics.

This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Deep cuts erode the foundations of US public health system, end progress, threaten worse to come Americans are losing an array of people and programs dedicated to keeping them healthy.

Trump Pledged to “Make America Healthy Again,” Then Cut a Program Many Tribes Rely on for Healthy Food The USDA has ended a program that dozens of tribal food banks say has helped them provide fresh, locally produced food that is important to their traditions and cultures.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.”

But the Trump administration ended a program that helped provide fresh, locally produced food for tribal food banks, saying the program no longer aligned with its priorities.

A student said to me at an event today, ‘I’d love to speak out and say stuff but I can’t because I’m on a visa.’

What has happened to America?

Trump and Rubio and MAGA have killed free speech and the First Amendment in this country.

NEW: A federal court in New Jersey has ruled that the foreign policy grounds Mahmoud Khalil was detained upon are likely unconstitutional.

"How many acts of genocide does it take to make a genocide?"

As people debate the term "genocide," I think back to this question we asked the Biden administration just a few months ago, back in December.

Israeli forces have killed at least 10,000 people since then.
