PLUS: Join Save America Movement Operation Liberty and me TODAY at 4 pm ET on Substack Live with Maritsa Georgiou of Grounded Podcast, reporting from Minneapolis
What we see—from lethal force to enforced impunity—is an abuse of authority and a hallmark of authoritarian governance. We will not be able to abolish ICE. We can disarm them without much trouble. We must move to disarm ICE. There is no logical reason for them to be armed. They are not ever shot at and if they were they should stop what they are doing and call the FBI, DEA, ATF or state and local police to take care of it.
Here is also what’s enraging: Mark Carney stood up at Davos and spoke truth to power while the rest of Europe sat on their hands applauding politely.
Where’s Macron’s follow-through? Where’s Scholz? Where’s Starmer? Carney drew the line. He said clearly: we’re building what comes next, with or without America. And then what? European leaders go home and do what exactly?
Wake the f*** up, Europe.
You’re watching state terror unfold in American cities. Federal agents murdering people on camera. Secret detention centers. Forced disappearances. The regime threatening your sovereignty, your alliances, your economic security. And your response is standing ovations and strongly worded statements?
Here’s what meaningful pushback looks like: Boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA. Full stop. Make it hurt. You don’t send teams to a country operating paramilitary death squads in its cities. You don’t legitimize a regime kidnapping students for speech, detaining five-year-olds as bait, murdering nurses in the streets.
Activate the Anti-Coercion Instrument completely. Not threats. Action. Sanction regime officials. Freeze assets of corporations benefiting from Venezuelan oil theft. Expel US forces from European bases. Build defense independence now, not eventually.
Support Minneapolis directly. Send international observers. Document the atrocities. Provide sanctuary for those fleeing. Amplify what’s happening so the regime can’t operate in darkness.
Here’s what we can also do:
Write to all European embassies in Washington urging them to push back; all of their emails are online.
You can call them too.
In fact, call US embassies overseas too, and tell those people that are working there, on our taxpayer money, that they are not fulfilling their oath of office—-it states right there, in the oath “protect against enemies foreign and domestic”.
Pathetic!
The USA has become a disease spreading authoritarianism globally. Carney gets it. He’s the only major leader with the courage to say it plainly. The rest of Europe needs to follow through or admit they’re just waiting to see if appeasing the bully works.
It won’t. Argentina’s neighbors tried appeasement during the Dirty War too. It just gave the regime time to kill more people.
Push back now. Meaningfully. Or watch this spread.
You cannot elect leadership that inflicts murder and terror upon the population. It is over. Blue states should form a new union and leave behind the United States and its stain of slavery, concentration camps, and terror.
John, here is some strong support for you secessionist position. How can blue states remain part of a country that regularly elects racist, ignorant, lying assholes like Rep. Fine and fascist governors like DeSantis?
“An armed seditionist attacked federal law enforcement today as they were rounding up foreign invaders in Minneapolis. The insurrectionist was put down. Well done. I stand with ICE as they fight these foreign invaders and their treasonous allies. We will not stop until EVERY illegal is deported.” – GOP Rep. Randy Fine, who has called for nuking Gaza and starving its children, and for denaturalizing and deporting all Muslims regardless of citizenship status. Last month Fine introduced the “Thump Thump Act,” which would legalize running over protesters. In 2023, when Fine was a Florida state rep, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed his bill making running over protesters legal.
Completely agree, Anthony. We all know this country has people around us like Fine. We have to live with that. But it is completely something else when such people get elected to office.
Steve - I would appreciate a piece defining corporate media landscape as of 2026 from your perspective. Use some examples of reporting. Identify ownership. Who can we trust? Please share your analysis.
Our attention is focused on what we can see of ICE and its inhumane, immoral lawlessness. But its an ICEberg, and we are just seeing the tip of the corruption. One need only look through history to see what goes on in concentration camps which aren't open to public scrutiny.
Starvation, abuse, torture, rape, and withholding medical care. And you can count on it: billions of dollars of their budget have already been or will be misappropriated by shadowy figures.
Democrats Need To Get Honest About The Economy And Inflation
“Economy is good” always saith the politician when in reality it's not The independent media particularly the financial media are ringing the warning bells that financial problems are imminent but politicians "crickets" The same occurred in 1921 when economists knew the Reichsmark was soon to be inflated to infinity while the politicians sat on their hands while the dollar has lost 94% of its purchasing power it had in gold since 1971
History is about to repeat itself And while the crypto industry claims that bitcoin is the gold replacement that is absolutely a bogus claim(https://bit.ly/4reCkId) for several reasons Even our Constitution establishes a bimetallic standard(gold and silver) Of course contemporary macroeconomists who have bought the Keynesian koolaid deny a return to a gold standard is important are quietly advocating central bank purchasing of gold and Germany is demanding its gold reserves back from the NY Fed Reserve vaults
Meanwhile China is sitting on the 30% of the above ground global gold holdings and has innoculated itself from a global fiat currrency crash as the politicians twiddle their thumbs

George Floyd, and many more showed us the score.
Will our hearts prevail?

Nine ICE thugs, nine erections- well ten counting Stephen Miller.
