Well, Netanyahu didn’t respect the ceasefire. He rarely does. Personally, think we should only call for arm embargo and pulling US military out of Palestine.

There are protests to resist Trump but they’re disorganized and unfortunately only in major cities (seems to amplify the left’s challenges- saying as someone on the progressive left). But 50501, PSL, Women’s March, and a few others along with people who are trying to start underground resistance. I know people are trying to keep these protests open for anyone so it is not the Left versus the Right. It seems the goal is us (99%) against the 1% ; there have been protests to end the cruel and inhumane mass deportations; mainly reject fascism / project 2025. Not enough protests for Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Lebanon, and Ukraine… Or protests telling our allies the people are with you even if our government is trying to isolate us or align us with world enemies.

You can’t reason with the unreasonable. Trump voters have to feel the impacts themselves to wake up. This is what Russia has wanted since the 80s… psychological warfare for a controllable US population..

Don’t forget we had foreshadowing for racist immigration targeting from 2010: Arizona law, S.B. 1070 which the Supreme Court upheld. https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/supreme-court-reinstates-arizona-show-me-your-papers-law-strikes-down-three-other

I hope you’re kidding when you say “god bless capitalism”

Trump and the congressional GOP should hang for their willful violation of the constitution. Presidential powers are explicitly listed in Article II, Sections 2 and 3 and in no way provides for the GOP's "unitary executive". The GOP is operating as though it does and, again, should hang.

Hanging is the only solution for members of a party that refuses to recognize the constitution. It is that simple.

Is there a way for an American Citizen arrested by ICE to sue ice agents and officials personally? At what point "I'm just following orders" should be legally rejected?

Trump Derangement Syndrome

- A new tool of autocratic control and punishment

https://apple.news/A8MqYlqhkQpKK07-d-BS5Aw

Republican senators in Minnesota have filed a bill seeking to classify the so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as a mental illness. SF2589 states that “‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of President Donald J. Trump.” It says symptoms may include “Trump-induced general hysteria, which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald Trump’s behavior.” The syndrome, the bill continues, manifests through “verbal expressions of intense hostility” toward Trump and “overt acts of aggression and violence” against anyone or anything expressing support for Trump. The measure is scheduled to be read before the Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee on Monday. It wants to redefine the term “mental illness” to refer to TDS or any other actual disorders recognized by the American Psychiatric Association and Zero to Three, a nonprofit for the development of babies and toddlers. Even the White House has used accusations of TDS against Trump critics before. Last month, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said TDS was “causing Democrats & the media to oppose President Trump’s commonsense efforts to cut billions.”

Syndromes are named after the patient that has it which would be patient "0" or "1"...

So yes it is a mental illness

However, in current times established naming convention and definitions are being inverted in blatant attempts to obfuscate and confuse.

How can anyone be surprised by trump’s actions. He is following the Hitler playbook including the non-aggression pact with Russia.

Next purging of the judiciary and shutting down of media. Will there be arrests of opposition (as today in Turkey)? Will military and auxiliary police be in the streets to help ICE? Will he move to conquer lands? Will elections be canceled? Don’t bet against it.

Turkey is not arresting opposition, just for being opposition, this is ignorant. The opposition who is involved in criminal act is arrested. Search, learn then talk

Some were hopeful that Trump vs 2 would show Netanyahu who the Boss is. Unfortunately, the bitter truth is that Netanyahu has a field day with this pathetic guy. No wonder Netanyahu boasted many years ago that he knows how to handle American Presidents. They are just puppets with him holding the string. Trump has quashed his legacy to be the President who could have kept the Zionists in their place, not lord over American foreign and domestic policy.

Uncertainty is the norm of the day especially for immigrants here. I am talking of legal ones here that they keep trumpeting about . Sigh.

If our U.S. Supreme Court Justices take the ethical and logical decisions, Trump’s Administration will fail in its extreamist, self-serving EO and other disruption. TO TRUST THE ROBERT'S COURT IS NOT BASED ON RATIONAL BEHAVIOR THUS FAR.

You mentioned 'Trump Derangement Syndrome', well Sen Justin Eichorn, one of the lawmakers who introduced the bill has been arrested for soliciting a minor... you can't make this stuff up!? Our "representatives" are dangerous, sick, idiots. Sigh...
