Summary

DHS, Donald, and our wellbeing are incompatible. We have a history of exploiting our own people. People have been exploited for money and financial gain. DHS perpetuates the ‘horribles’ in our history. We can be the change we want to be in our country. By standing up together, we will stop DHS and Donald. No one is going to save US. We will stop Donald and DHS. No one is coming to save US.

DHS, Donald, and Our Wellbeing

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is representative of the history of the USA. DHS and our wellbeing in the USA are incompatible. In order to eradicate DHS, we must understand the history of the USA. Let’s explore the intersection of DHS with our wellbeing.

History of the USA and Our Wellbeing

Our history includes the ‘horribles’ which I have mentioned in previous posts. The ‘horribles’ of the USA are not exactly the same as the ‘horribles’ of other countries with one exception: we have always treated people with less money as being lesser human beings, as being unworthy of human rights. Poverty has always been treated as a crime in the USA.

One of our ‘horribles’ includes the endorsement for some of US to be permitted to ‘possess’ enslaved people. I wager that this belief has not been eradicated from the elites of the USA. We all heard Nutlick say that he took “my nannies” when he spent time with Jeffrey Epstein substantiating that he believes he owns people.
We as a nation are also guilty of ‘using’ indentured workers to build this nation: sharecroppers, servants, housekeepers, construction workers. An example of exploited construction workers were the Chinese workers et al who built our railroads, some of whom were buried under the very tracks they built.
Our country has been founded on denying rights to some people in order for other people to gain and maintain their power and their wealth. The USA has a history of sanctioning the lynching of people for dubious motives at best. We have engaged in killing people without consequences to the killers: the most recent example of this killing is the murder of people in boats in the Caribbean which have been deemed extrajudicial killings because there was no evidence substantiating the attacks on the boats.
We as a nation have a history of teaching other countries in the how of disappearing people, taught in the School of the Americas, a technique that we have used and are using today as DHS disappears people into a for-profit concentration camp system. Under Donald, the tracking of the disappearance and murdering of Indigenous Women and their families has been erased because Donald and this regime does not like the facts to fuel policies and actions (in my opinion).
We as a nation have been deporting people under Donald with no concern for their health, their safety, their legal requests to seek asylum here, or the fact that many of US descend from people who came to the USA illegally. Save the First Nations, we are all here illegally.
We have a history of interning people, including during WWII when Japanese Americans and their families were interned. Today, Donald and his regime are arbitrarily interning people based on colour of their skin, their accent, their political allegiance, or their immigration status. Repeat that aloud and consider the implications.
We have a history of silencing victims and subjugating women. Donald can no longer pretend his innocence in the Epstein affair. Let’s call it what it is: the Trump Epstein affair. Donald is mentioned a minimum of 38 000 times in the released files. Donald is mentioned in cases of alleged sexual abuse of minors. Donald is a convicted sexual abuser (E. Jean Carroll case). Donald is complicit in covering up the crimes in the Trump Epstein files. Donald’s Cabinet is promoting election legislation which will eradicate the rights of many people, including women, to be able to vote. Donald is continuing the legacy of a country bent on culturally objectifying women and legislating against the rights of women.

DHS Crimes: Say Their Names for Our Wellbeing

In my opinion, DHS engages in crimes against humanity. Apparently, the international community agrees with me.

In 2026, how many people have died at the hands of DHS? We do not even know. Let’s remember one of the the latest killings by honouring the memory of the deceased.

Dr. Linda Davis, a special education teacher in Savannah, GA, was killed when ICE engaged in a high-speed chase with another vehicle. The pursued vehicle struck Dr. Davis’ vehicle and ICE left her to die. ICE did not provide life saving care to Dr. Davis: they left her to die.

The expression, “Le plus ça change, le plus ça reste le même”, encapsulates everything that is wrong about Dr. Davis’ death. In other words, since the inception of the United States of America, nothing has changed.

Let’s be the change we want to see in this country and in our world.

Remember, 98% of US have more eyes, more ears, more hands, more arms, more legs, more feet, more hearts, and more brains than the 2% of the population who have more wealth than US. But, the wealthiest 2% do not have our resilience nor our strength of character nor our determination to manifest our dreams for freedom, justice, and peace for all of US.

DHS, Donald, and Our Wellbeing

DHS, Donald, and our wellbeing are incompatible. We need to stop Donald and we need to stop DHS, now. They are killing US which is what they want to do. We can promote our wellbeing by stopping Donald and DHS.

How about wishing for regime change in the USA?

Would any of US be alright with another country swooping into the USA and removing Donald and his cabinet? No. So let’s not consent to Donald’s illegal attacks on Iran, particularly when we have destruction, poverty, killings, and inhumane activities in the USA.

Stand up and stop Donald and DHS.

Together, in community, we have more eyes, more ears, more hands, more legs, more arms, more hearts, and more brains to topple the Donald’s regime. No one is going to save US. We need to save US. We are going to save US, through unity and empathy.

DHS, Donald, and our wellbeing are not compatible. Stop DHS and stop Donald.

Or, Iran and everyone in the region around Iran will do it for US by bombing US to smithereens. And, they won’t be wrong in retaliating against the destruction initiated by Donald in Iran and the Middle East. But, we will also suffer immeasurably. Maybe that’s what we need because we seem to have lost our moral compass.

I hope the purging starts at the top with Donald, his Cabinet, and the spineless elected officials across the USA.

Stand up and we will stop Donald and DHS, together.
