Trump’s Police State Dress Rehearsal
Trump just turned Washington, D.C. into his personal Hunger Games arena by deploying armed National Guard troops. Local officials are furious—because it’s illegal, authoritarian, and straight-up terrifying. Congress warned this is what dictatorship looks like, but Trump calls it “security.” Translation: he’s testing how much fascism you’ll tolerate before spitting out your morning coffee.
Immigration as a Weapon
ICE has detained Kilmar Ábrego García and is fast-tracking deportation despite major legal questions about his case. It’s one more example of Trump’s regime using immigrants as political props and fearmongering tools. Fear isn’t a byproduct—it’s the entire strategy.
Global Moves
Meanwhile, China is begging the world to chill the hell out over Iran. They’re pushing diplomacy and a revival of the nuclear deal while Trump doubles down on sanctions. If you thought his foreign policy was a toddler tantrum before, now he’s throwing Legos at the table.
Featured Resister: Common Cause
Common Cause has been mobilizing voters, filing lawsuits, and dragging Trump’s goons into court every chance they get. They’ve got petitions, call scripts, and watchdog reports that turn public outrage into actual resistance fuel. Check them out at commoncause.org.
Today’s To-Do List
- Call your reps and demand they block Trump’s illegal National Guard takeover of D.C.
- Sign Common Cause’s petition to defend local democracy from federal authoritarianism.
- Support immigrant rights groups in your area—donate, volunteer, or at least share their work.
- Spread the word that sanctions = destabilization, and Trump’s foreign policy is a wrecking ball.
- Boycott companies bankrolling Trump’s machine—today’s target: MyPillow. Mike Lindell’s fascist bed fluff doesn’t deserve your sleep.
Kitty’s Rallying Cry
Trump is flexing, ICE is terrorizing, and the world is begging for adults in the room. Our job? Refuse to normalize the circus. Resist loud, resist local, and resist daily. When fascism straps on jackboots in D.C., we sharpen our claws everywhere.
