🚨 The Supreme Court just gave Trump a temporary green light to fire an FTC commissioner — opening the door for him to reshape the agency that’s supposed to protect consumers.

While headlines focus elsewhere, the Supreme Court quietly handed Trump new power: ICE raids in Los Angeles can resume without constitutional limits. Now he’s threatening “war” on Chicago. This is authoritarianism in action. Source: Reuters, AP & The Guardian #InformedAF

Trump tried to make an example out of Harvard by sending a warning to the rest. Today the court reminded him: retaliation isn’t leadership. It’s authoritarianism. #InformedAF Source: @npr.org

They’re saying the quiet part out loud: Trump’s allies want to use “emergency powers” to control elections — with the military as enforcers. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here. #InformedAF @democracydocket.com

Trump appointed Heather Honey, a leading election conspiracy theorist to a DHS role overseeing election security and disinformation. This isn’t protection. It’s sabotage.

Texas GOP leaders tried to force Rep. Nicole Collier to take a state trooper escort every time she left the Capitol. She refused — and is now effectively locked inside the House chamber. This isn’t procedure. It’s political surveillance and coercion. #InformedAF #DemocracyinCrisis

Trump says he’ll ban mail-in ballots + voting machines. With Congress? Possible. Without? Red states could fall in line anyway. This isn’t democracy — it’s the plan to dismantle it before 2026. #InformedAF #WTFDidHeSay

Trump says he’ll scrap mail-in ballots and voting machines. Translation: millions lose their vote + chaos takes over. This isn’t democracy. It’s a blueprint for control. #WTFDidHeSay #InformedAF

🚨 Trump says he’ll ban mail-in ballots, scrap voting machines, and override state control — all by executive order. That’s not democracy. It’s authoritarian rule. #InformedAF

Trump can federalize D.C.’s police and deploy troops — but not replace its elected government. Doing it with crime at record lows says more about power than safety.

First it was Roe. Next, it’s marriage equality. More than half of states already have bans ready to go if the Supreme Court overturns Obergefell v. Hodges. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s a plan.

Crime is down in D.C. — 26% down. Trump’s still sending in the National Guard. This isn’t about safety. It’s about control. mpdc.dc.gov/dailycrime

Purple Heart Day A court just protected overseas & military ballots in Michigan — while Trump tries to rig the census. Some people sacrifice for democracy. Others try to burn it down. 📌 Sources in comments. #InformedAF #ElectionNews #ProtectTheVote #PurpleHeartDay
