Analysis: "Trumpland"
"The corporate coup d'état and collapse of American democracy began long before Trump. He is simply snuffing out what remains.
"The Christian fascists & oligarchs... are making war on verifiable fact, the rule of law & the transparency & accountability that is only possible with a free press, the right to dissent, a vibrant culture & a separation of powers, including an independent judiciary."

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls Germany a “tyranny” for defending its constitution against right-wing extremism. That’s not diplomacy. It’s historical amnesia. In a country where democracy once died to the sound of applause, protecting it is duty — not despotism. If Rubio thinks this is tyranny, he’s unfit for history, let alone foreign policy.

"The search warrant brandished by the agents sought someone else, who wasn’t at the home where Marisa and her daughters had moved a few weeks ago. As is often the case in 2025’s stepped-up immigration raids, it wasn’t exactly clear who the agents were or even which agency they worked for. Although initial news accounts attributed the operation to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, subsequent reports suggested the officers were from ICE’s sister agency, the little-known Homeland Security Investigations. The 6,000-member HSI is a cornerstone of an ascendant secret police in America."
"Human rights nightmares show ‘the crazies’ who wanted to abolish ICE were right
The nightly parade of horror stories about an American secret police proves the current system is broken beyond repair."
Marco Rubio all but admits, that Republicans are a RW extremist, autocratic political party, as he admonishes the German Foreign Office for labeling the AfD as an RW extremist party & standing for the Constitution, the rule of law, democracy, & protecting immigrants' rights.

Rep. @algreen.house.gov is bringing the heat with new articles of impeachment against Trump, accusing him of defying Supreme Court and undermining the rule of law. This constitutional crisis demands action. #ImpeachTrump #ConstitutionalCrisis #RuleOfLaw #TrumpWatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT2g...

“The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,” Jackson told a judges’ conference in Puerto Rico. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government. And they ultimately risk undermining our Constitution and the rule of law.”
Take note of Doug Ford using the same lines of attack on Ontario’s judges and judiciary as Donald Trump.
“Our judiciary is the most "accountable" profession there is. Name another job where every word you utter, every decision you make, every act you perform, is recorded. Where you are subject to be appealed. Where the press watches you carefully. Where there is a Judicial Inquiry Committee that looks over your shoulder should anyone complain about you.”
“A society in which politics plays a role in conviction and prosecution is not a safe one, as we have seen in the US.“
An independent judiciary is critical for the Rule of Law, and democracy. Doug Ford is angry that he has to abide by laws, especially The Charter Of Rights and Freedoms, which protects us all.
Ford wants to be able to overrule judges. That’s not Rule of Law; that’s authoritarianism. Another Trump admirer, still. Doug #Ford is #unfit.
“‘What right do they have?’: Ford lashes out at judiciary, saying perhaps judges should be elected.”
Hot on Trump’s heels, here’s Doug Ford trying to interfere with the judicial system, because he doesn’t like that he can’t break the law. Remember when he said that there was nothing Trump could do that would make him lose Ford’s support? Remember when he said he was thrilled that Trump won? Yeah, I do.

No, it is not legal for ICE to kick in your door without a warrant, and no, the United States Supreme Court has not said it is.
That meme (the orange map) has been circulating the internet since 2020. And while Nazi Conservatives (Maga) would like you to believe the Constitution is null and void, that would be a lie.
