Trumpās latest narrative of āradical left violenceā is more than rhetoricā itās a pretext for troop deployments, baseless federal investigations, and branding critics as enemies. The goal? To tear down civil infrastructure, brick by brick.

Trumpās āradical leftā lie is about enabling an authoritarian slide
Authoritarianism doesnāt begin with tanks in the streetsā it often begins with a story. We break down a dangerous new disinformation campaign from the White House designed to turn āradical left violenceā from a talking point into a political weapon. Donald Trump is using a manufactured narrative of crime to justify sweeping power grabs, including deploying the National Guard to Democratic-led cities, threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, and labeling critics, including journalists and Democratic mayors, as enemies. Itās a tactic straight from the authoritarian playbook, now being weaponized to dismantle civil infrastructure.

Supreme Court greenlights racial profiling, shreds the Fourth Amendment
This week, the Supreme Court gave ICE the green light to racially profile people during immigration sweeps in Los Angeles, undermining the Fourth Amendmentās core protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. Using the shadow docketāwithout hearings or explanationāthe Court effectively declared that constitutional rights sometimes depend on what you look like.
