“Reuters identified 75 federal-judge rulings finding Trump’s government infringed on First-Amendment rights including freedoms of speech, religion, and the press.
The unprecedented pushback on constitutional grounds has included repeated findings that the administration chilled or squelched the speech of citizens and groups opposing the Republican’s agenda.”
“The Trump administration has acknowledged in court documents that it canceled $7.6 billion in grants for hundreds of clean energy projects “based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient’s state” — in this case, 16 states that voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.”
The government has charged many ICE protesters with crimes, but many of these prosecutions have fallen apart, indicating that the charges were more about government intimidation than legitimate criminal justice.
Schools in China can no longer teach primarily in an ethnic language. Mandarin must be the primary language in all schools. China is more generally cracking down on ethnic minorities in its ethnic unity law.
China is a colonial empire that has conquered its land by force, and it is stepping up its forced assimilation of its formerly conquered peoples.
Career prosecutor and FBI man say that these professional roles used to not notice much when a new president came in. Trump changed that. He used the justice system to protect his friends and attack his political opponents. Trump is corrupting justice and weakening US democracy.
Jack Smith prosecuted Trump because the facts supported prosecution. If they didn’t support that, he wouldn’t have brought that. He’s a career prosecutor who cares about the law, not a partisan actor.

Rubio compares the audaciousness of American colonists rebelling against the British empire and creating the world’s first modern democracy, and the US landing on the moon…to UFC creating a successful fighting company.
Rubio knows this is nonsense. He is lying for Trump. Rubio used to be a respectful Senator, now he drinks Trump’s fluids from both sides every day on national television.
Don’t get me wrong, UFC is cool and I respect the sport and business that they built, but the audacity of creating the world’s first modern democracy, rebelling against the greatest empire on Earth, and landing on the moon…are incomparable to creating a cool sports fighting business.
Hunter Biden defended his original “sweet deal” criminal agreement as appropriate based on the circumstances, then a conservative and Republican bullshit propaganda machine tricked the American public into thinking it wasn’t a normal and just deal.
People claimed Joe Biden as president intervened for his son somehow, without evidence and while Hunter Biden was being treated unfairly by the justice department based on propaganda.
Hunter eventually got a pardon, but only after, even while Joe was president, the justice department was treating him unfairly based on propaganda, and after Trump was elected who was speaking like he intended to weaponize the justice system rather than prosecute people justly.
