Trump hypocritically claims to want to fight crime, but he along with Congressional Republicans cut over $800 million in public safety and crime prevent grants nationally, including cutting $158 million in funding to Illinois. The National Guard never signed up to be sent to cities in this fashion at all. Now, the National Guard troops are being forced to clean up trash around Washington, D.C. Now, Russia has depleted tank reserves due to the Ukrainian war. This shows that Russia may have nuclear warheads that can travel thousands of miles, but Russia is not omnipotent. Only God is omnipotent. I find it telling that the same fake "leftists" to talk about imperialism are stone cold silent on the war crimes of Putin. You can't only expose the war crime of Netanyahu but silent on the war crimes done by Putin. Doing that is hypocrisy and cowardice. Many of these fake "leftists" are covertly or overtly funded by Russian intelligence via their media services, etc. China is wise. China was probably shocked that Russia is struggling against Ukraine militarily. This is no time for appeasement. The only solution to this war is for Russia to leave Ukraine, and Ukraine to be allowed to be an independent, sovereign nation. Also, I make a distinction between the dictator Putin in Russia (he is using drone attacks against apartments and other civilian locations which is a war crime), and the millions of Russian people who sincerely want peace and democracy in Russia. Many Russian dissidents have been jailed in Russia for heroically opposing the authoritarian edicts of Putin. Also, Ukraine deserves freedom in its own right.
Once upon a time, many people wouldn't believe that a President would send military forces to occupy cities using peacetime with no national emergency. Now, we live in that reality. Trump said that he wanted to be a dictator on day one. Many deluded Americans unfortunately agree with military occupations of American citizens permanently. This is part of some folks who love tyranny instead of liberty and justice for all. Now, many people are speaking out against this corrupt administration at GOP town halls, even in the conservative state of Missouri. Now, we have financial issues that are growing. In Texas and Florida, there were housing booms. Yet, many people in those states relied on credit. Now, costs in construction, insurance premium going up, and property taxes being high have left many households relying on credit cards and personal loans to survive. Louisiana and Mississippi have places with slower growth, lower incomes, and structural poverty that leave people vulnerable. There is unequal wealth distribution that causes tons of people to live paycheck to paycheck with high rents and growing economic stress. If nothing is done to solve these financial complications, then a financial recession will happen in the near future. That is why I say now that people ought to save and invest in their money, own resources, and prepare for the future.
Trump has threatened Chris Christie with an investigation after Christie criticized him. Trump has a hatred of the separation of powers as he believes that the executive branch must have supreme power over all other 2 branches of government. Christie has every right to dissent with Trump. Trump can't stand dissent. Ironically, Christie is a Republican who has supported Trump for years. Trump wants to bring down former Biden officials. We have a historic, unprecedented crisis of the harm done to the working class in America that only can be solved by mass social struggle. This reality is not just done by MAGA extremists. It has also been done by centrists, who recently, with their Third Way agenda, want people to not say the words of incarcerated, unhoused, Latinix, cultural appropriation, and other non-offensive progressive words, because the Third Way wants to show bigotry by silence. See, we know that the far right is filled with bigots, incels, sexists, xenophobes, Hoteps, etc., but centrists in many cases are more of a threat. The reason is that they are slicker, realizing that a centrist never caused revolutionary change in human history. Malcolm X, Dr. King, Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Fannie Lou Hamer, Septima Clark, Ella Baker, etc. were not centrists but progressives and revolutionaries who changed the world in numerous positive ways. The Third Way doesn't even want people to say the words of democracy or housing insecurity which shows their out-of-touch mentality and hatred of grassroots activism. The Third Way's list of banned words is not only censorship and cowardice. It's bigoted to be silent on incarcerated people, and it strips the identities of minorities who live in urban, suburban, and yes, rural locations. The Third Way promotes the stereotypical lie that rural people don't understand complex concepts of social issues. I don't need some token list of banned words from the Third Way. I say what I want whenever I want, however I want, with limited exceptions (i.e. I don't use libel, slander, etc.). The Third Way is nothing more than a corporate, Wall Street backed movement that seeks comfort and the status quo instead of justice for all of humanity (which acknowledges the diverse identities in the human family).
The Supreme Court made another bad decision that Trump can slash $783 million in DEI research funding. In Gaza, the famine has killed 289 Gazans as Israel attacks Gaza City. These 289 people included 1115 children who have died of malnutrition and starvation since the start of the attacks in Gaza. This news comes after the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) hunger monitor officially pronounced a famine in Gaza on Friday. The report said that the famine is totally man-made and it can be halted and reversed. We have starvation in Gaza and in other places of the world that must end. According to UN figures, almost 12,000 children under the age of five were found to have acute malnutrition in July 2025 (which has continued to go up). Munir al-Bursh, the director of Gaza's Health Ministry, said that in the past 24 hours alone, 8 Palestinians, including one child, had died of starvation or malnutrition. IDF wants to conquer Gaza City. They are raging war for control. Netanyahu said that the attacks on Gaza would take place regardless of a ceasefire or agreement with Hamas. Also, many innocent journalists have been killed by Israeli military forces constantly.
Illinois Governor Pritzker gave a speech in response to Trump issuing threats to send the National Guard to Chicago. He said that the state of Illinois will oppose the plan of sending National Guard troops to the court system. He said many legitimate arguments about the agenda of Trump being not about fighting crime, but he wants authoritarian control over American society. He said that you can delay justice for a time, but you can prevent justice. Trump said that he can do whatever he wants. No, he can't. The Governor of Illinois said that crimes in Chicago and in blue states have gone down. The Mayor of Chicago Johnson have spoken on this issue too. We don't need autocratic actions, and we have fascism in America now. Trump is a fascist in trying to use armed troops in American citizens which is totally illegal. Trump has been a convicted criminal for years. Trump wants to target elections and blue states for ideological elections. Governor Pritzker said that the top 8 states with the highest crime rates in America are found in red states which is true.
