Fascist Donald Trump’s murdering storm troopers make other killers like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu proud.

And the former United States of America does at 249 years.

Mother of three Renee Nicole Good is gunned down in Minneapolis Wednesday by Trump and Stephen Miller’s ICE thugs. Two Portland residents shot Thursday.

Other people are being snatched off streets by masked thugs in black and disappeared.

Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin are smiling from Hell after causing the murder and deaths of 50 million or more, most civilians.

What will Trump, Miller and Hegseth’s final death toll be? Time will tell as sheep sleep through the destruction of the American Democratic Experiment before its 250th anniversary.

Seven million protested No Kings in the former U.S.

Millions wonder how they will house and feed their families.

What example are we leaving In Marietta, Ohio, the First White Settlement in the Northwest Territory after destroying thousands of years of Indigenous settlements and life along the Muskingum and Ohio rivers?

We poison our drinking water with fracking waste, declare our unhoused “illegal,” decimate life-giving trees to “eliminate and disappear” the unhoused, pave our parks and pile trash and garbage until it topples into our streets and alleys.

And many just shrug our shoulders.

Some stand up to the tyranny and bloodletting.

What do you do? Are you kind to the vulnerable? Do you volunteer for the benefit of others? Do you respect pedestrians, bicyclists and animals?

The Great American Democratic Experiment. A flash in the pan of human history? Or something worth a little love and compassion?

What do you think? Unless you don’t.

Please join the resistance against Trump, Miller and Hegseth’s murdering tyranny before there is no turning back.
