Chicagoans are seeing the Trump administration’s assault on truth and transparency unfold in real time during an increasingly aggressive deportation campaign.
With the full support of the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and GOP Congressional members the Felon is making the United States an authoritarian theocracy, with the Felon as leader and the American oligarchs running the Country (Putin's Russia).
The DA of Chicago should be investigating the shooting of the woman and the shooting of the pepper ball at the priest. They should be going to a Grand Jury, filing charges and arresting those who committed these felonies. The Felon cannot pardon the violations of State and local laws.
The MAGATRUMPHUKIANS have broken through the checks and balances and are assaulting the core of our democracy. If we all don’t stand up now and take to the streets there will be no midterms…
Poster board was sold out at a Target in Chicago yesterday near one of the quiet neighborhoods where ICE deployed tear gas. I hope that’s a good sign for an engaged turnout tomorrow. I bought the last piece of stiff poster board available at the nearby Walgreens. I texted a pic of me holding my sign to family in Boston, San Francisco, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maine and Oregon, saying, Hey, they’re throwing tear gas in my neighborhood and roughing up citizens who ask for warrants, please turnout for the march Saturday. They’re onboard already—I just provided reinforcement.
I definitely favor truth telling over lies. Sadly to say there are many people especially in the south who have bought into Trump’s lies and bullshit. They are so entrenched in it that they deny the truth when it’s staring them in the face. I’m seeing so much crap on social media about tRump that I have to use the block button.
"Democracy will continue to erode unless Americans who value truth-telling fight back against normalizing lies". YES, Jennifer!
Another great article, Jennifer! Thank you.
It is hard facing our country sinking into an Autocratic Fascist Dictatorship: it is quite hard to stomach. And, one can see quite clearly that the election of Trump into the presidency will go down in history as the single most damning blow to world order and American democracy that our still young country and the world has ever experienced.
It HAS SURELY put America quite far down the list of "movers and shakers". And, with the eve of "NO KINGS"upon us, it clearly delineates our mission (should we choose to accept it), to rebuild our democracy to be even greater, more meaningful, and stronger than it ever was.
But, even more important, we need to pick our countries respect up out of the gutter and become a beacon to all, a searchlight to the TRUE meaning of the "inalienable rights of man."
We need to think about this, all of us, and we need to do it now.
Jennifer? My screen shows Lorraine Forte to have written this article. I also think Jennifer Rubin is a great person, but please, let's give credit where credit is due.
We definitely need Trump's lies and those of his minions to be pointed out on various media instead of just repeating the lies. It churns my stomach when reporters and journalists make no effort to set the record straight on verifiable facts.

Trump is a sociopath. Sociopaths lie to give them an advantage. That is all.
