ICE is out of control. This week, ICE shot a canister of pepper spray directly into a family’s car — hitting a 1-year-old baby. The family was shopping at Sam’s Club when the agents drove by and sprayed the chemical agent into the car with two young children inside. Abhorrent.

Trump may tell Americans — even his own supporters — that they won’t pay the tariffs. But at the same time, his own lawyers are arguing before the Supreme Court that American businesses and consumers pay the tariffs. Listen for yourself.

MAGA is losing its mind over Mamdani and imaginary “sharia law” and “Islamic radicalism” — while actually pushing to take away women’s right to vote, arrest women for miscarriages, ban LGBTQ “ideology,” and fuse church and state. You really can’t make this stuff up.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE Agents... is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate the law, you must be held accountable." We need to see this same energy from Mayors and Governors across the country.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

The Democrats are on track for Reagan-’84 margins in the next election. That's because, without a doubt, Trump will take no lessons from last night. He won’t change a thing. The decline will deepen, the suffering will get worse, and the GOP will rightfully take all the blame.

I’ve spent two years warning about the danger of a second Trump term. At this point, I hardly feel the need to say anything. Every day provides indisputable proof of Trump's corruption, lawlessness, and contempt for the Constitution. Even MAGA diehards are starting to wake up.

The last week has proved this incredibly accurate.

Trump was a fascist in his first term, in the sense that he was ideologically fascist and wanted to rule as such. But he was constrained in ways that made it possible to overlook. Since Jan 6, and especially since the start of his new term, those constraints are gone.

I used to mock people who called Trump a “fascist” during his first term. While I never voted for him, it always just felt hysterical or an exaggeration. After January 6, I started to understand. Now, I realize how wrong I was. For that, I owe those people an apology.

Leaders who value human dignity & freedom have a rarw opportunity to build new alliances & spark a cultural renaissance rooted in true liberalism. But to seize this moment, we must first understand who stands with us—& who does not. My latest at @theunpopulist.net open.substack.com/pub/theunpop...

"Authoritarianism is an instinct, a yearning for control, for hierarchy. ... It manifests in different costumes, but it always tells the same story: trust the strongman, fear the outsider, silence the dissenter." from @joshuaeakle.com's superb pro-liberalism manifesto in @theunpopulist.net 🗽🗽🗽

Bannon: “Trump will be president in 2028 and get a third term. People oughta get accommodated with that.” They're telling you in plain language what they intend to do. If you don't take this seriously now, your kids will never forgive you.

Symbols matter. No matter the cost, demolishing the ballroom has to be the #1 priority of the next administration. Swearing in on January 20. Public demolition on January 21.

All of the momentum is moving against Trump. All of it. Left, right, and center. The institutions, candidates, and thought leaders who recognize this and act on it now will be rewarded greatly in time.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

Just so you know. If Trump can tear down the entire East Wing with no oversight or restrictions, he can do the same to the entire White House.

The MAGA worldview in a nutshell.

If tearing down Confederate Statues is erasing history, what do you call tearing down the White House?

Spotted at the East Wing of the White House over the past couple hours. Trump is literally tearing down the People's House.

The American people have made their voices heard today. Trump and the Republicans have never looked smaller. Their lies about these protests have completely discredited them and backfired. They miscalculated. Badly.

Over 10,000 people showed up to protest in Tim Burchett's district today. This is how he responds.

👀 No Kings in deep red Knoxville, TN. This is just ONE stretch of ONE street. Thousands of grandparents, parents of young children, people from every walk of life came out to reject dictatorship. If I was a Republican lawmaker, I'd be very nervous about my job right now.

Seriously, though - people keep asking "what are the protesters asking for, and what's their strategic plan to get it?" I think what they're asking for is for America to be restored and Trump to subjected to the law. And I think the plan to get it is to demonstrate that there are so, so many of us.

Protest tomorrow. Peacefully. There will almost certainly be MAGA instigators. Do not take their bait.

There is nothing more quintessentially American than rejecting Kings.

Wait. I was told by MAGA during COVID that there is no greater violation of free speech than the Federal Government pressuring social media companies to take down user's posts.

Every American should be deeply concerned about the trajectory of the conservative movement. These activists will make up the rank-and-file of party leadership over the next decade. And they're explicitly pro-rape, pro-genocide, pro-racism, etc. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Plainclothes, masked rogue agents roaming our streets and refusing to identify themselves made this inevitable. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything. They are the party of lawlessness, violence, and abuse.

A president who can suspend the First Amendment rights of immigrants can just as easily suspend the Second Amendment rights of citizens. If you cheer the loss of inalienable rights for those you dislike, you’re only laying the groundwork for your own demise.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.

The Qatari bribe of Trump paid off. The GOP is now letting foreign countries build military installations on US soil.

Last month, I sat down with @aaronrosspowell.com and @maxmarty.bsky.social to discuss the libertarian movement, the end of fusionism, and the way forward for those who care about liberal democracy. You can watch on the @projectliberal.org YouTube channel here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3orl...

A lot of libertarians who have been screaming in my replies about "authoritarianism" and "tyranny" for the last four years are conspicuously quiet right now. Curious.

Republicans never cared about states’ rights, individual liberty, or the Constitution. They wielded those ideals as a smokescreen. They were tools of deception used to seize power and construct the most oppressive, authoritarian administration America has seen in modern times.

After World War II, countless Nazis became prisoners of war—utterly defeated. And yet, even then, America gave them due process. Liberals will never abandon the rule of law. Not even for the most abhorrent, evil people among us. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this.

“As explicitly post-liberal thought gains ground in the intellectual circles on the right, we are also seeing a quiet attempt to recast the history of the Second World War.” www.liberalcurrents.com/a-popular-fr...

New IJ lawsuit filed today challenging ICE raids of construction sites, wherein ICE detains American citizens in AL, rejects their proof of citizenship, and holds them without PC. Worth a read, and more evidence of the wide gulf b/w what SCOTUS says is happening and what is actually happening.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

Donald Trump basically announces that he is declaring war on anyone he deems a Democrat... and one of the leading Democratic Senators, @blumenthal.senate.gov thinks now is the best time for a bipartisan censorship bill that will let MAGA define what content is allowed on the internet. WTF?

Sure seems like the president just instructed the military to use lethal force against US citizens.

Oh. I’m starting to see why—after outing Trump as an Epstein collaborator—Elon Musk is now crawling back to him.

"Libertarians for masked Federal agents grabbing people off the streets." 🤡

Just last week, Trump posted—and then deleted—a “text” to Pam Bondi, urging her to go after his political enemies. Today, the DOJ takes aim at the former head of the FBI. This video proves why. The most corrupt administration in history.
