Trump's approval ratings way down
Most American
voters
disapprove of the
bully's actions as president.
But is that still true if we limit the question to those whom Republicans
will fail to block from voting?

Irish woman detained
*Irish woman living in US [with green card] for decades [jailed] by
immigration
officials.*
The deportation thugs
seem to be aiming to be as sadistic as possible to
each person they jail. This senseless harassment must be awfully expensive,
and the magats
will usually do drastic things to make do with fewer staff,
but I guess sadism is important enough to override that.

Immigrant children
*[The deportation thugs]
are seeking out unaccompanied immigrant
children in operations nationwide with a view to deporting them or
pursuing criminal cases against them or adult sponsors
sheltering
them legally in the US.*

Ben-Gvir
The Israel/Palestine double standard for free speech in the US:
Violent Israeli fanatics are invited to speak, whereas those in power
revile people who condemn the

Funding cuts to programs
*[The wrecker's]
officials cut hundreds of millions to combat
gun violence and
opioids
addiction.*
For fascists, helping to protect the people is not part of the mission
of government.
The US government under Biden sued Alabama and made the state agree to
provide sewer systems in some places
where
poor people live.
The wrecker
cancelled the agreement, leaving those residents under threat
of losing their homes because they can't afford to put in septic systems.
There is no aspect of American life where
the wrecker's henchmen won't
reach to spread suffering – and then boast about it.
I do agree with them on one thing: the US should ensure there is
sewage treatment for all citizens, which requires helping for all
those who can't afford their own sewage systems. This means doing
more, not less. That is why this action was a step in the wrong
direction.

Trump’s inept handling
The wrecker
has picked up a club and is wandering around US
government affairs and banging it into important institutions in
an
apparently chaotic fashion.
However, it is not in fact chaotic. He has a plan, which is to wreck
any institution which could help people resist against the tyranny
he aims to establish.

Google's Local Services Ads
Reportedly Google will soon start listening to and recording the calls
made to local businesses that it advertises, by
people
responding to the
advertisements.
I have never seen Google's advertisements because I have used few
Google services for many, many years, and none for many, many years.
I don't know how "local services advertisements" work. Is there
something that prevents a person from calling the business's phone
number? Is it simply that most people unthinkingly do the simplest
thing?

Wisconsin judge arrested
The FBI, acting under right-wing fanatic Kash Patel,
and the wrecker,
has arrested
a
Wisconsin judge.
I don't know whether what the judge is accused of doing was illegal,
but we have already seen that the goal of those fanatics is to abolish
rule of law.
