Deepening Dictatorship

Posted

Trump’s billionaires censoring journalists and closing newspapers, it’s not freedom; it’s despotism. nnTrump giving pardons and government favors to financial contributors, it’s not fair; it’s bribery, corruption.

Trump suing the government he controls for $10 billion, it’s not moral, it’s not right; it’s theft.

Trump’s military jailing and deporting children without judicial process, it’s not American; it’s evil.

Trump’s thugs killing civilians, it’s not protection; it’s murder.

Trump’s agents taking control of state ballots, it’s not democracy; it’s dictatorship.

Dictatorship is not some vague danger; it’s a growing presence.  Fair-minded, freedom-loving, democracy-protecting, courageous citizens must speak out now and resist in every way we can.

Watch Gendered Slurs

Re: Editorial, December 2025, “Rage Against Trump’s Bitches.” nnJust what female behavior are you trying to point out? Why not label them Pricks, Dicks, Scumbags?

How about a non-gendered universal label for them?
