I can say I am not easily made to be fearful or scared but I woke this morning with a feeling deep in my chest that I could not readily identify. Similar to that feeling you might get the morning after you just attended a funeral of a loved one. You wake feeling a heavy weight with a deep sadness. Then you remember all the crap that is going on and every single day it gets worse. I can honestly say I am scared and feel as if this country is dying a slow death and nothing is working. Sorry for the downer post but it is the truth.

I understand how you feel. I feel the same, but I still hold hope. I think we have enough judges in this country that will fight this. If they don't they know that they will be in jail for the rest of their days for upholding the law and Constitution. We will work together and fight this regime and we will win. It will be the hardest thing that any of us have ever done, but we have to do it. This regime can never win.

The most important asset now are the states. The Hitler regime succeeded, because it could use the dominant Prussian state to implement the violent totalitarian rule. The USA have 50 states that can stop the conversion of the federal republic into the American Reich.

NJ - daughter of a WWII/Korean Conflict veteran (RIP Sarge) 20 yr. Army, 47 Infantry, 9th Division, Bronze and Silver Star recipient. For the remainder of his peacetime career he recruited for the Army from our local Post Office in Morristown. NJ. He was a very patriotic, proud American who loved his country and instilled that patriotism in me. I have a handwritten letter from him (dated 1944 from somewhere in Germany) to his mother, my Nana. There is a line in the letter which to this day has stayed with me. He wrote in the most beautiful, precise cursive “don’t worry Dear, there is a purpose for everything this Army does”. Let’s hope our real military leaders remember that they took an oath to uphold the Constitution not one man.

This is so freaking scary.. I just watched a clip of ICE taking a mother away from her house in middle of day. She asked why and to see the warrant and she was shoved in the car and told they don’t have to have one☹️WTH

When will someone wake up and say that it is not legal to arrest these people without a warrant? When will it be enforced? When will ICE agents have to show their faces, no masks. They are not law enforcement. They are thugs that get their thrills from what they are doing. I suspect proud boys and their friends. That's why donnie had to get them out of jail with their pardons. This was preplanned. Welcome to little Russia.

It might stop when some vigilante starts picking them off. It is a desperate situation. They must have run out of the criminals they were speaking of already. Goes to show that they have BDed the number extremely. ICE has zero respect in my book. If they had any decentancy they would be showing ID and have uniforms.

I was so shocked to see a report that the same thing happened in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is only about 1 hour away from me. This is extremely troubling. I was born & raised here; however, I know a lot of people who were not. :(

Probably she was arrested because she was here illegally and that's breaking the law. I believe if I was here illegally I'd leave willingly before I was deported to somewhere I didn't want to be. I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand. Trump has made his intentions clear.

If we do away with Habeas, we would never know would we? This “probably maybe” shit without facts is what we have a problem with. No warrant? Fuck off. Come back when you have one.

It’s easy to say what you would do hypothetically when you’re not the one with a target on your back.

“Probably”, you say? That’s the problem. Decisions and opinions are made based on somebody’s “probably”. Without facts, assumptions are made, then the old game of “Telephone” begins.

Legal or illegal, no mother should be taken away (unless it is harmful to the child) from her child without due process.

"Probably????"...the fact you started your sentence and point with "probably" is definitely an issue and worth speaking about. Imo, you used "probably" because you don't know and assumed. And, we all know the little saying, "when you assume". And, the "...and me" part is why I am taking the time to address your comment. Instead of justifying your"probably" thought, you could have had compassion and leaned towards saying, "why didn't they have a warrant"? This is the problem and something we all should be concerned about. Today, it's migrants / immigrants but tomorrow it could happen to US citizens. And, then you'll "probably" be the first to scream, "where's the warrant...what about my due process?" It seems things are OK until it happens in one's own backyard, and to those you love or worse, yourself.

Let's stop turning our heads away from the injustice that happens to others. The way things are going, it's just a matter of time before those same injustices happen to us.

Due process of law for anyone is not much to ask. Kidnapping is the wrong way to go about this. Not informing families is just cruel. Sending people to prisons is not something we should be doing without trials either. I don’t care who he is or what he said he was going to do. Trump needs to follow our constitution period

Al Green-US Representative Texas, is filing an Impeachment at the end of this month. He filed 2 Impeachments during the last Trump regime. The impeachments were denied. Michael Cohen, how can the impeachment take hold and move forward to have Trump removed from office?

I've added a link to the video of Al Green discussing impeachment.

I don't think it can because of Johnson. He won't act on it. If he wasn't there, we might have a chance.

Hi Judy,

Johnson is a coward, and so are many others within this administration. It's sad to see this destruction of America's principles. My thoughts have been from the beginning that Trump is out to destroy America. The reason is vengeance. Michael Cohen has another Video with Jolly where this is discussed.

Maybe it doesn’t matter for now as long as it is publicly posted and constantly updated to increase pressure and it is not hidden away in a drawer somewhere waiting for the day when there is a sufficient majority in favor. There’s no telling whether support is possible until specifically what is in there is known, maybe.

Stephen Miller is a sociopath. Evil to the core. The GOP regime and their ilk of project 2025 evildoers need to get kicked out of office, prosecuted, and imprisoned for life. For violating their oath of office and the constitution. They are treasonous traitors. If this were the 1700s or 1800s these mother fuckers would have been publicly hanged.

They are truly evil and cruel. They are setting up to go after people like Biden, Hillary, Liz and others that they hate. This is about to get really violent. They are monsters and will do anything to anyone they don’t like even if it means death. They are despicable next they will be doing stuff live so everyone can see what evilness they’re doing. This is crazy but I have always said one day we will be living in that movie called the purge. Sickening and disgusting

This terrifies me. We have lost the right to speak our minds, to protest and to disagree. That is what this country was formed on. Freedom! We are losing it all day every day. It comes in ways we don’t expect. Yesterday they arrested the mayor of Newark. How is this even happening? This is less than 4 months. WTF is going to happen at the end of 4 years?

What would be the process to eliminate Habaes? Would be helpful to understand what if any process would occur, so we can do whatever we can do.

Great article, Michael. What can We The People do to fight the elimination of Habeas? What's the process of eliminating Habeas? Which Judicial Branch has the final say to keep Habeas Corpus in place? So let's imagine that Habeas is eliminated, would we now have an Authoritarian branch of government? We are moving into this type of governance quickly.

When will the courts make him a human instead of infallible ? Once he can be sent to jail and have consequences to his actions he won’t be able to do whatever the hell he wants. His cabinet will have to stand in court after he’s bno longer in that seat. In Nuremberg trials the use of “ I was following orders” didn’t matter. We all have to face the co sequences of our actions. When you look back on this time will you be able to say you were on the “good” side or “evil” side of history.

I was going to make a comment about my own time in solitary in the USDB, but then I did more research about other abuses. Solitary is not all bad if you get meals and pen and paper. Disturbing history.
