If agents of the federal government can murder a 37-year-old woman in broad daylight who, as videotapes show, was merely trying to get out of their way, they can murder you.
Even if Trump and his vice president and his secretary of homeland security all claim, contrary to the videotapes, that Renee Macklin Good was trying to kill an agent who acted in self-defense, they could make up the same about you.
Even if Trump describes her as a “professional agitator” and his goons call her a “domestic terrorist,” they could say the same about you regardless of your political views or activism. If you have left-wing political views and are an activist, you’re in greater danger.
How can we believe what the FBI turns up in its investigation, when the FBI is working for Trump and is headed by one of his goons, and is investigating possible connections between Renee Good and groups that have been protesting Trump’s immigration enforcement?
What credence can we give federal officials who are blocking local and state investigators from reviewing evidence they’re collecting?
You could be murdered because Trump’s attorney general has defined “domestic terrorism” to include impeding law enforcement officers. What if you’re merely standing in the way — in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or maybe you’re engaging in non-violent civil disobedience?
In October, Marimar Martinez, a U.S. citizen in Chicago, was in her car trying to warn people about ICE when she collided with a Border Patrol vehicle. Federal officials say she “rammed” the car. Her lawyers say she was sideswiped by it.
The agent then got out of his car and shot her five times. She survived. The Justice Department then charged her with assaulting a federal officer.
You could be next. All of us need to realize this. The people who are being assaulted and murdered are abiding the law.
The regime has also been grabbing people from their homes who are legally in the United States with permanent status — not just visas permitting them to work or study here but green cards — and whisking them away to prison because they’ve engaged in constitutionally protected speech the regime doesn’t like.
This is what happened to Mahmoud Khalil — who graduated from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs, has a green card, and whose wife is an American citizen.
Plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents appeared at his apartment building on March 8 and then detained him without charges in a Louisiana ICE detention facility for three and a half months. (He missed his graduation and the birth of his first child.)
The Trump regime continues to try to deport him. A federal court heard arguments on Oct. 22 in the regime’s ongoing deportation case against him but has not issued a verdict.
Khalil did nothing illegal. He was in the United States legally. He has never been charged with a crime. He expressed his political point of view — peacefully, non-violently, non-threateningly. That’s supposed to be permitted — dare I say even encouraged? — in a democracy.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump conceded Khalil was snatched up and sent off because of his politics. “This is the first arrest of many to come,” wrote Trump. “We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it.”
Trump could just as well arrest and expel permanent residents who voice support for, say, transgender people or DEI or “woke” or anything else the regime finds “anti-American” and offensive.
What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting you for, say, advocating the replacement of Republicans in Congress in 2026 and electing a Democrat to the presidency in 2028?
Renee Macklin Good was murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot, but survived. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed, and is still fighting deportation. There are many others. The next could be you or someone you love.
What’s at stake isn’t just American democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your friends and loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.
A dictatorship knows no bounds.
We must commit to peacefully fighting this regime, to ending Republican control of Congress in 2026, and to sending this dangerous gang packing in 2028 — assuming we’re still free and alive by then
He appointed an entire staff and cabinet of whisperers. Most trusted, and dangerous, is Stephen F Miller.
Felon has no guard rails like he had first term. He belongs in prison. Jack Smith, justice and the American people were robbed. The MAGA plurality who lifted him above Harris Walz shoulders much of the blame. Merrick Garland and his unparalleled lethargy and stupidity in taking so much time to appoint Smith shoulders more. Partisan SCOTUS is also responsible, especially in the immunity ruling based on Federalist opinion and not the US Constitution.
Jesse Ventura described how Trump already turned America into a third world country. He is correct. Just because we have the biggest military, and economy doesn't affirm first rate leadership.
The world is regrouping and reassembling because with trump, we're no longer there and can't be trusted with anything. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
No one will ever again, well at least for pushing 50 years, trust America again!!
Electing him twice and our sicko congress doing NOTHING ABOUT HIM proves to the world that America is sick! And the country they all counted on is gone!
When the world begins telling American jokes, we arrived!
As long as we retain trump, we lose standing. Disparaging jokes once told about Polocks, Wops, and Frogs are told with US as butt of the humor. Just a trickle now because many still fear Felonodium. They aren't yet conditioned that his many boasts, brags and lies are empty threats. There won't be another Venezuela. World is on notice, and next attempt will meet heavy resistance abroad and domestically.
How did Trump invade Venezuela? He walked south backwards from Mar a Lago across the Gulf of Epstein.
Did you hear about Trump's latest invention? It's a wind-powered portable fan for hot golf days.
Did you hear in the news that the US-1 gift from Qatar crashed in a cemetery on Epstein's Island? Trump administration officials so far retrieved 2000 bodies.
How will US enemies sink the new Trump class battleships? Put them in water.
How will Trump sink his new nuclear submarine? He'll open the door to look at his new ballroom.
How can you tell if a person is MAGA? They can only remember one Mexican joke, and it's usually the one about the one-armed Mexican in a tree.
Trump ordered a Presidential helicopter for short flights to his golf courses. For safety the presidential helicopter has an ejector seat if the helicopter is shot down or experiences mechanical breakdown due to budget cuts.
