According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

He’s concerned about the safety of violent protesters in Iran but doesn’t give a fuck about peaceful citizens being murdered on American streets. 🤬

CNN's hardly the most profitable part of Warner Bros. But the Trumper combine - including the Ellisons, Kushner and several Gulf dictatorships - see that owning CNN could allow them to implement the Orban/Al Jazeera model of state/ideological control of the news media at a broad, international scale

The battle to buy WBD, CNN's parent company, brings to mind what Hungary's PM Viktor Orban did. Taking control of the media was key to consolidating power. He did it in part by helping wealthy supporters acquire news outlets, ensuring favorable news coverage fridainsight.substack.com/p/cnns-futur...

Hey MAGA, Trump abandoned Marjorie Taylor Greene. He called her a traitor *because she came to the defense of women (then girls) who were trafficked and raped*. She was one of his most loyal followers. Do you think he gives a damn about what happens to you? Wake TF up.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has: -Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks -Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise -Made the largest cut to SNAP in history -Canceled the annual food security survey Shameful.

So Trump wants to send troops to protect Christians in Nigeria. That contradicts HIS attacking Christian immigrants here! Most Hispanic people are very religious and devout Christians.

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Not to mention Matthew Dowd, Terry Moran and Jim Acosta. And anyone at the CDC who dared to care about science. If you still think freedom of speech exists in American, you’re wrong. If you still don’t understand you’re living under fascism… please wake up.

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
