CALL-TO ACTION #2: SAVE AN INNOCENT MAN FROM EXECUTION IN ALABAMA open.substack.com/pub/ctdel/p/...

My high-school friend Sara, who lives in Minneapolis, inspired me to collaborate with her in this post. As the the news turns focus away from Minnesota, people there still need help. With the dawn of a new month, rent assitance is especially critical. Pls share! open.substack.com/pub/ctdel/p/...

This is worth every second

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Elon Musk, with a wink and a Nazi salute, pushes the boundaries of absurdity and the sycophants applaud. If you defend the indefensible for a man who tweets his way into chaos, you’re the problem History isn’t kind to cowards dressed as disruptors.” #ElonMusk #Accountability #HistoryRepeats

Ah, democracy…where the war plans are passed around in Signal group chats like casserole recipes, and the President calls it a “minor glitch.” Jeffrey Goldberg got looped in like he was picking toppings for the drone strike.

Pete Hegseth’s playing Tom Clancy on encrypted Wi-Fi, and the national security apparatus is held together with duct tape and ego. But don’t worry, folks. No laws were broken … just trust, protocol, and the illusion that adults are in charge.

Trump, now playing the role of Emperor Bureaucrat-in-Chief, has signed an executive order that says you can’t vote unless you bring proof you exist. A passport. A military ID. Maybe a baptismal certificate signed in eagle’s blood.

They say it’s to stop the ghosts and phantoms from voting. But the real trick? Make the living too afraid, too burdened, or too “unverified” to bother showing up. A Kafkaesque carnival where democracy is only for those with the right barcode. .

J.D. Vance has touched down in Greenland because apparently Manifest Destiny just needed snow tires. The empire’s always looking for fresh periphery… preferably cold, underpopulated, and rich in stuff we can dig up. Greenland checks all the boxes. So does hubris.

DOGE(because why the hell not) is slashing jobs from Social Security & gutting phone verification. Can’t prove you’re alive? Can’t call for help? Congratulations: you’ve been EFFICIENTLY erased.

Speaker Mike Johnson now floats the idea of deleting federal courts because when reality displeases, the answer is to erase the referee.

Governor Kristi Noem’s new Rolex: because nothing says “public service” like a “time piece” that costs more than your constituents’ annual salaries. Time flies when you’re courting donors. Ethics, of course, are for the peasants. Let them eat wristwatches.

Trump now threatens to defund the Smithsonian unless it stops telling history that hurts his feelings. J.D. Vance is in charge of fixing the “narrative.” Imagine Orwell with a MAGA hat and a PowerPoint. Not patriotism, it’s ideological taxidermy. History sterilized and posed to salute on command.

Trump just lit the global economy on fire with a 10% tariff on everything, and anyone who ever sold America a toaster.This isn’t trade policy, it’s economic Russian roulette with all six chambers loaded and labeled “America First.” Globalization is dead. Long live the Price Hike.

Canada’s pissed. Europe’s plotting. Detroit’s nervous. And you? You’re about to pay $8,000 more for a Subaru built on a planet we no longer pretend to understand. This isn’t protectionism… it’s a demolition derby in a collapsing strip mall. Freedom now comes with financing and a surcharge.

Fifteen medics in Marked ambulances. Lights on. Unarmed. Shot dead. Buried in the sand. Israel says it was a mistake. Truth arrives late in war. This isn’t defense. It’s bureaucracy with a gun. It’s the Geneva Conventions redacted with blood. Humanity, once again, filed under “collateral.”

Trump slaps a 104% tariff on China. China fires back with 84%. The markets flinch. Eggs go up. Hope goes down. This is economic arson with patriotic branding. A trade war waged like a bar fight: loud, dumb, and full of broken glass. Globalization dies, not with a bang, but with a receipt.

And that dear friends is called market manipulation. Announce a tariff, watch the numbers dance, cash out before the next tweet. A stock market rodeo run by lunatics on ketamine and cocaine

Trump’s budget is dead on arrival $5.7 trillion in debt wrapped in tax cuts and prayer. Johnson shelved it after the hardliners screamed it wasn’t cruel enough! And so the empire argues over who gets to sink the ship.

The House just passed a bill to stop “rogue judges” from blocking Trump’s orders. Because nothing says separation of powers like rewriting the rules when the referees call fouls. This is fascism with a gavel and a goddamn grin. Democracy is now available in executive orders only.

Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia grad student, protested a war … and now the U.S. says he’s a “national security threat” and plans to deport him. No charges. No violence. Just dissent. Land of the free … terms and conditions apply.

Col. Susannah Meyers praised unity among allies. JD Vance wanted Cold War cosplay. So the Pentagon fired her … for the crime of saying, “Actually, we get along just fine.” Truth has a new uniform … and it’s being escorted off base.

Trump and RFK Jr. just proposed gutting health programs by $40B. Head Start? Gone. Public health? Now called the Administration for a Healthy America-which sounds like a vitamin pyramid scheme with riot gear. Call it austerity. Call it freedom. Just don’t call an ambulance-they defunded that too.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is allegedly locked in a prison funded by the very government that admits it got it wrong. A U.S. senator flew down to see him. He was turned away. El Salvador says the U.S. is paying the bill. And they are. The Constitution wasn’t torn-it was quietly exported.

You wanted a culture war? Good. Now you’ve got one.

Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation. The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

I’ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they don’t like the color.

Trump’s fragile little ego might need a parade to feel powerful … but America doesn’t. We don’t need tanks in the street or troops marching past golden stages to know who we are. Real strength doesn’t come with fireworks and forced applause. It doesn’t throw a birthday parade to feel relevant.

Real strength is quiet. It builds communities, defends liberty, and walks away from fights it knows it could win. A military parade is just theater for the insecure … a coward screaming in a bar fight, hoping the noise will keep the punches from landing.

Ah yes… nothing says banana republic in a smoking jacket like a convicted sheriff peddling badges for bribes—and then getting a golden get-out-of-jail-free card from the same man who once sold steaks and universities like snake oil.

Scott Jenkins, corrupt to the bone and baptized in the unholy waters of political patronage, got his sins wiped clean by Rev. Don—high priest of vengeance and victimhood. Ten years? Too long, says Trump, in this new America, loyalty trumps law, and justice is just a four-letter word spelled “deal.”

We are watching the slow rot of the republic, friends… one pardon at a time. The Founders warned us about kings. They didn’t expect we’d elect one who golfs badly and pardons like a mafia boss after three bourbons and a Fox News binge.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you. And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it. This is not about politics. It's about people. Let’s break it down:
