Trump's militarized takeover in Washington, D.C.

 

Today, we have a new era of the Trump regime. Many people considered us extreme for calling Trump a fascist, but we have been proven right once again. Trump and his allies promoted the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. They organized a group of anti-Semites, racists, Neo-Nazis, and far right extremists to not only show their hate speech. They invaded the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021 in the realm of an terrorist insurrection against the American government. It was an attempted coup d'etat. Now, this far right movement has their coup d'etat by January 20, 2025 via getting rid of people on voting rolls, passing voter suppression laws, and using trolls in trying to intimidate people who disagree with the MAGA cult. Today, Trump wants the federal government to occupy the American city of Washington, D.C. using federal law enforcement (including the National Guard) when the crime rate in Washington, D.C. has declined a lot. Trump is the same male who says that he is in favor of "law and order," but he has pardoned January 6th criminals who assaulted the police, used racist slurs, and waved Neo-Nazi and Confederate flags on Capitol grounds (for the first time in American history). Therefore, we are witnessing a new era of American history when fascism is on the march with innocent federal workers fired, legitimate environmental protections gone, black history being bashed, and bigotry promoted by many MAGA followers. Trump wants to consolidate power, make the executive branch "an unitary branch," use overt racist language, and desire complete control over America (all mentioned in Project 2025). We don't need some police state in Washington, D.C. Trump also wants homeless people to be gone from the streets by either going to a facility, pay a fine, or go to jail in criminalizing homelessness. We want freedom and justice for all people. We should always oppose fascism completely.


There are many protesters who are against the federal National Guard takeover of Washington, D.C. I'm not shocked that Joe Scarborough agree with many of this fascist policy as he is no progressive. He defends Truman using atomic weapons on Nagasaki and Hiroshima which are overt war crimes against humanity. It is not right for a new redistricting plan in Texas when a census already happened in Texas. Trump is using power grabs to make sure that the House stays Republican and to make sure that progressive policies end in American society. The GOP is trying to roll back Obamacare using gradual, slick means. For example, the budget bill can cut people off health resulting in higher premiums. Also, we know that Republicans want to end automatic re enrollment that will increase healthcare costs for years. The GOP wants low income people to pay more, and now some insurance companies won't offer ACA coverage next year like Aetna. The future higher health care premiums after the federal premium subsides expire by the end of 2025 will cause health care chaos in America. Trump voters voted for this evil. It is evil.



One major propaganda engine of the Trump administration is Prager U. Prager U is so blatantly wrong and far right that they believe that climate change isn't real and the evils of slavery were exaggerated. Prager U glorified Christopher Columbus when he was a slave owning terrorist who (and his allies) harmed Native Americans in graphic terms that I can't describe here. Prager U glorify George Washington and Thomas Jefferson as "men of virtue" but omit that both men owned slaves and never freed a slave when they were alive. Jefferson explicitly believed in the myth of black intellectual inferiority, and a black man named Benjamin Banneker (who was a mathematician, scholar, and architect) wrote a note to Jefferson to refute his white racist lies. Prager U is very popular among the Republican crowd. Prager U even denies voter suppression, and another problem is that Prager U is trying to brainwash kids to accept their historical revisionist nonsense. Benjamin Netanyahu praised Prager U to justify his actions in Gaza. They have a $25 billion budget.

There is the recent story of 6 journalists being killed by Israeli forces. This comes after Netanyahu desires to seize Gaza City to "complete the job." This is a blatantly strategy of annexation by Netanyahu as he wants to maintain power as long as possible in Israel. The reason is that he faces many financial scandals. These journalists were people who wanted to report on the story. Such murder and other events easily constitute overt war crimes. Netanyahu wants to control the Gaza City without Palestinian independence or autonomy. This does nothing to help the Israeli hostage or the Palestinian people. We recognize that Hamas is a wicked, terrorist organization who has murdered innocent Israelis on October 7th. Hamas's actions have no justification. Yet, what is going on is Gaza also have no justification from bombing churches, killing journalists, and settlers harming Palestinians in the West Bank. The journalists who were killed in Gaza were killed by an Israeli airstrike. Only a nihilistic person would justify this act. There is no solution except for this war to end now, the Israeli hostages returned home, and true independence for the Palestinian people. Far minded Israelis and Palestinians deserve liberty, equality, and justice.



There are a lot of news in the world. There is a planned Trump and Putin meeting in Alaska. While Putin continues his illegal invasion in Ukraine, many people in Donetsk and other places in Ukraine have been murdered unjustly. This comes after Trump desires Putin to stop the bombing, but he even desires Ukraine to give up some of its land as an excuse to stop the fighting. Trump is also supportive of the dictator and xenophobe Viktor Orban of Hungary. Orban desires a Russian victory in Ukraine. Ironically, Orban is on tape saying that Russians can't even beat Ukraine. Also, Orban has been the EU's poorest and one of its most corrupt countries. The good news is that Russia has less Ukranian territory now than three years ago. Putin wants Trump to intervene in causing Putin to gain more territory. Putin's goals are clear. He wants influence and power over Eastern Europe, regardless if those nations in Eastern Europe is a NATO country or not. At the end of the day, as Zelenskyy has said, Ukraine should never be dominated by occupiers.
