7. Insurrection Act for us, "Help is on the way" for Iran? Trump's hypocrisy is breathtaking.

The irony is nauseating. Just 48 hours ago, Trump was on Truth Social telling Iranian protesters "HELP IS ON ITS WAY" and urging them to "take over your institutions." He celebrates protests as "patriotic" when they happen in Tehran, but brands them as "insurrection" when Americans demand accountability for a federal killing on US soil.

Apparently, the right to protest is a sacred value to this administration—unless you’re an American exercising it against them. We are watching the federal government occupy a U.S. city to protect a rogue agency while the President plays "freedom fighter" abroad. This isn't just a dark day for democracy; it's a full-on authoritarian mask-off moment.
