"hypocrites in power" is an excellent, concise description

Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social

Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.

"he says the confusion was over two government computer systems miscommunicating, not egregious fraud" "One of his big takeaways is that while government is not perfect, there are already many checks in place to combat waste and abuse."

BETRAYAL Everyone will be backstabbed by this administration. Not if, but when.

Outrageous: ICE agents arrested a former U.S. Army interpreter who risked his life aiding American troops in Afghanistan, right after his asylum hearing in San Diego. The interpreter legally entered the U.S. after the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Tyranny of the majority (communism) and tyranny of the minority (fascism) are both terrible. From what I can tell, they both lead to complete loss of freedom. Some people seem to focus on one but are COMPLETELY BLIND to the other. The USA is currently experiencing a TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY.

Sick shit

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Almost $200 billion for domestic repression.

Trump’s “big, beautiful [budget] bill” will earmark $185bn for immigration enforcement, including ICE, which is more than the annual military spending of the UK and France combined. www.ft.com/content/3d6c... via @ft

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

Good description of the current situation.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Very wise insight

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?
