They keep piling it on. Can’t take a breath between frigging Bomb Bill. Alcatraz Concentration Camp. Setting Ukraine up for Putin to own. Making billions from grift for himself, family, friends and those that build and run detention facilities. Billions for ICE which is becoming the law enforcement

everywhere.

What is behind the scenes?

Everything else they have lined up to wear us down and out. They have had years to plan this. No end in sight. Many of us won't make it to the end of this all out war on America. From within. No one except Al-Qaeda has attacked our land from a distance.

I believe you, Lev. I don’t think you are being an alarmist or exaggerating in any way. Unfortunately. This is what is happening.

MY GOD. TO STAND THERE AND LAUGH ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS THAT WILL BE TORTURED AND MAYBE DIE AT THAT FACILITY IS UNCONSCIONABLE, UN-AMERICAN AND DOWN RIGHT INSANE. ESPECIALLY TO WEAR GRIFTER ITEMS TO PROMOTE SUCH CRUELTY. 😢🤬😡

Lev, thank you for keeping us informed about what's going on with Trumps version of election reform, better known as voter suppression.

How would you suggest fighting back? Protesting, a revolution, having our state officials such as Governors engage the public with a method of defending ourselves? I'm in California, it would be great if someone on Substack could engage Newsom in conversation about this subject. We the people need some guidance in this arena of fighting back. I feel the Governors of each state must take the lead and lead the people in the direction of fighting Authoritarian government. I'll say it again, we the people need guidance on how to proceed. Thank you.

I pasted the info in chatGPT and it laid out many counter measures. But we have to be very organized with different groups working on multiple fronts and start now

Yes! Newsom and Pritzger and the lady governor of Maine need to get together and flesh out the “Let’s hold back all the Federal Taxes” plan that has been floated. Why not since the current administration has gone lawless? If all the Blue states combined they would have leverage. Remember when MTG floated the idea of an “amicable divorce” between red states and blue states? I think it should be seriously considered because if there was ever a better example of “irrevocable differences” I have yet to hear it. I mean THEIR WHOLE WORLD VIEW IS DIFFERENT. They are religious fundamentalists and they think they are the Good Guys. They are NEVER going to change their mind(s). I say reconfigure into new conferdations of like minded and maybe end some of the mutual hatred/antagonism.

Nancy, great idea. Trump has already stated he is not the President of the Democratic Party. He's gone on to say he hates all democrats. The Great Divorce would be a big win for the Blue States.

Lev, thank you for your courage. With what I heard yesterday about the broad mandate and scope of power ICE has been given, any dissent is subject to disappearance. I have never in all the places all over the world where I have lived and worked been in a place where police were checking my phone for any dissenting opinions. They are rigging the midterms and 2028. I saw that Eric Trump is priming himself to take over from his dad in 2028. They want this to be dynasty. However and perhaps in conflict with that or maybe in alignment is Curtis Yarvin’s vision for a corporate run country and the Project 2025 team putting that in place. The Millers and Voughts and Thiels of this crew should not be underestimated. I am sure that most of what we see and hear is smoke and mirrors designed to keep us feeling like we are seeing what’s going on when that’s not where the real action is. I never ever thought I would see anything like this in my lifetime. This is America for Pete’s sake. 😤😡😱

Trump & his team have carefully instigated calculated campaign FEAR to win elections - with NO evidence, All investigated & found to have NO merit. Yet he continues to use FEAR to set himself up, as a weird lying savior, an Iago devil, which has sometimes worked ... DO NOT fall for it... Our democracy depends on honest voting with NO pretense of allowing people with agendas access to voting machines or into state voting processes... at our peril...

I really am at a fucking loss as to what to do to stop this madness. I share your posts but I live in a like-minded echo chamber do not sure what it’s doing. We are no matchup for masked and armed ICE agents. I feel like we are on this collision course to this beautiful and problematic and imperfect experiment is over.

Trump says, "My people." We are not HIS people. His people tell him anything they need to. WE tell him the truth.

In our inability to fight back against a destructive force that wants the end of our current civilized society, yes. It's the American Apocalypse. They want to kill enough of us that, as in every doomsday story we've ever been told, a ragtag band of survivors will be the only ones left to resist. Is this what's coming? It's a distinct possibility. How can we stop it now. It feels like it was too late in November. God can't help us because he's too busy laughing along with Trump, DeSantis, Noem and the rest of them.

We've not lost our ability to fight back but we sure lost our advantage. However, still today, no way do we have the numbers. I saw this months ago playing out in my head. It's why I quit Bluesky. I'm unclear of my plans. I keep waiting..watching..remaining vigilant to a sign of active resistance and organization. Until that day comes, I pledge to remain a faithful servant of The United States Constitution...to my last breath

Lev,

Very sadly, the betrayal of Ukraine, the opening of this Alligator Alcatraz” concentration camp in southern Florida, and this minacious election rigging scheme by Trump and his regime’s corrupted and bastardized Justice Department that you reported on here are likely not the end of the United State’s descent into the moral abyss.

MAGA is on a power trip, and it probably is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, if it ever does. In order to hold the perpetrators of these egregious abuses of power and crimes against humanity like Stephen Miller, Ross Vought, Pam Bondi, and Kristi Noem legally accountable for them, it will be necessary for Congress to pass new laws and apply them retroactively, as well as expand the United States Supreme Court to 13 seats so that they are not struck down.

Instead of having the Court stacked with justices who are intent on taking away the rights and freedoms of the American people, legitimizing and legalizing lawlessness, and undermining American democracy by judicial fiat and via grotesque acts of right-wing judicial activism, let’s stack the Court with justices who are committed to upholding the rights and freedoms of the American people, defending the rule of law, and safeguarding American democracy.

It is in the national interest to do so!

Lev, thanks for leaving out any swear words, I’m not offended but I can’t just forward to many folks I know because the first “fu__k” word & they won’t read further. It seems trivial when we are literally getting screwed by reps & WH, doesn’t it?

We need to address Trump saying he hates Democrats. Is it against his oath of the President to represent only those who support MAGA? We have so much to impeach Trump for.

The Middle East has been saying that we are the Great Satan; I have heard them say that for YEARS! It used upset me to hear that; I did not want to believe it. I sit here today reading this, absorbing and devouring each and every word of warning. With a heavy heart, I am sitting here realizing that he is turning OUR country into exactly that. :(
