50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 wounded. Two-thirds of the casualties are women, children, or elderly people. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed. Much of that devastation has been done with U.S. bombs supplied to Netanyahu’s war machine. We are complicit.

If Trump can claim a “national emergency” to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

DHS is asking IRS to locate **7 MILLION** suspected undocumented immigrants using confidential tax records.

It’s a massive escalation by DHS to use the tax system for mass deportation.

IRS officials are aghast, say it’s likely illegal.
