📢 Who are we?
Do we live in a nation where no one is above the law? Or do we now accept that if you’re rich, powerful, or cruel enough—you get to rule without consequence?
Let's get real.
What if it were you?
What if your child, neighbor, or co-worker ignored a judge’s order—or a unanimous ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court?
Would you walk free after admitting it on national television?
Would you be allowed to destroy a family’s life—just because you felt like it?
Because that’s what 34-time convicted felon President Trump just did.
And we need to call it what it is: A ruthless abuse of power. A racist smear campaign. A direct assault on the rule of law.
🚨 The Facts
In an April 29, 2025, interview with ABC News, Trump was asked about Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a Maryland resident wrongfully deported despite a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court ruling demanding his return.
Could Trump help bring him back?
"I could," Trump said.
But then he added:
"If he were the gentleman you say he is, I would do that. But he's not."
No evidence. No due process. Just Trump playing judge and jury, driven by personal spite and an old, ugly racist playbook.
Trump then falsely labeled Abrego Garcia an MS-13 gang member—without a shred of proof.
Why?
Because Trump knows that lies, fearmongering, and misinformation are powerful weapons. He uses them to distract from his crimes, mask his failures, and manipulate the public.
❌ This Isn’t Incompetence. It’s Authoritarianism.
Trump made a conscious choice to:
Defy the courts
Ignore a protection order
Smear an innocent man
Drag his feet on fixing a mistake because he wants to play God with someone else’s life
And Congress? The Republicans who swore to uphold the Constitution?
They're silent. Cowardly. Complicit.
When a president can break the law in public, defy the courts, ignore a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling, and weaponize the government for revenge, we are no longer living under a functional democracy.
💰 Authoritarianism Meets Corruption
Trump isn’t just undermining democracy—he’s profiting from it.
While families face hardship and crises mount, Trump flew to his Florida golf resort to host a Saudi-funded tournament. (NY Times) He cozied up with foreign billionaires—including some under U.S. investigation—because for Trump, private profit always comes before public service.
This is textbook kleptocracy—government by thieves.
The Founders wrote the Emoluments Clause to prevent this exact kind of corruption.
But Trump treats the Constitution like a joke—and his team acts like laws don’t apply to them.
A president is supposed to serve the public, not his own interests or the interests of a wealthy few. With this meme coin dinner, Trump is giving the highest bidders access to the president while lining his own pockets. These wealthy investors are getting a unique chance to potentially influence decisions that could affect regular Americans’ lives. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of civil servants are losing their jobs thanks to his administration’s budget cuts, with a possible recession on the horizon as a result of Trump’s tariff policy.

⚠️ They Think They’re Untouchable
That’s what makes this moment so dangerous.
It’s not just authoritarianism.
It’s not just corruption.
It’s the merging of both—a toxic fusion of personal vengeance and financial exploitation.
⚖️ The Law Must Apply to Everyone—Or It Protects No One
This isn’t just about one man wronged.
It’s about the principle of equal justice.
Do we live in a nation where no one is above the law?
Or do we now accept that if you’re rich, powerful, or cruel enough—
you get to rule without consequence?
Because if this is OK, then nothing is safe:
Not your rights
Not your freedoms
Not your future

His so called “proof” of MS13 affiliation was a blatant misrepresentation of Abrego Garcia’s knuckles with a clip art style of the gangs symbols “tattooed” on his hand. Terry Moran called it out! FELON, of course argued, talked over Mr. Moran! Proud of Terry Moran for holding his ground. Perhaps Kilmar would be found guilty, BUT regardless, he deserves and our law dictates DUE PROCESS! BRING HIM BACK, BRING ALL DISAPPEARED BACK! Bondi, Trump have blood on their hands! AGAIN, DUE PROCESS!
