Trump Wants a War to Distract You From the Coup — Don’t Let Him
1. The War Drums Are Deafening
Trump’s regime is openly floating preemptive strikes in Iran and Venezuela. Military assets are being repositioned, and Fox is already doing its “shock and awe” dress rehearsal. Congress hasn’t declared war — but that hasn’t stopped a fascist before. Remember Iraq? Now imagine that, but with less oversight and more hashtags.
2. The New Draft is Racist, Classist, and Real
Internal documents leaked this week confirm a “targeted draft readiness survey” aimed at building demographic profiles — and surprise, surprise: it’s poor kids, queer kids, and BIPOC communities in the crosshairs. MAGA bros with podcast mics and militia hoodies? Not so much.
3. War Profiteers Cash In While We Die
Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Chevron stocks have skyrocketed as Trump tees up another war. Oil execs were seen leaving closed-door meetings at Mar-a-Lago — while working-class families brace for gas prices, body bags, and zero VA funding.

🐾Final Claw from Resistance Kitty:
Trump’s on the verge of launching a war to distract us from his collapsing regime — and to hand billions to his cronies. Don’t fall for it. There is no freedom in dying for fascism. Get loud. Get organized. And get in the way. This regime thrives on fear — but they should fear us more.
We don’t march for oil.
We don’t kill for cowards.
We rise, we resist, and we fight back — together.
