ALERT MOVING WARNING TO DEFCON 2 (1/6)! I am increasing the threat level to DEFCON 2. One more step and we are a full blown police state with dictator. I have been slow to do this b/c, though many asked me to elevate it last month. (see reasons) 1/6

Be careful everyone. MAGA politicians led by their Russian asset felon are ramping up their violent racist rhetoric as we approach the midterms. They want civil disorder to justify overturning our elections. It is gonna get very very ugly. Don't fall for it.

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

Massie exposes the hypocrisy: Some members get to vote against bills they know will pass, giving them a convenient campaign talking point without changing the outcome.

Noel Reports that Ukraine's struck overnight in Volgograd. It made me wonder. Volgograd was Stalingrad in WW2. One of the fiercest battles of the war. Under the city are undoubtedly the bones of missing soldiers that perished there. I wonder if the shudders of the explosions disturb their rest. War

Republicans hyperventilating about Natalia Harp: “How dare you suggest that Donald Trump, a man who cheated on ALL of his wives, is liable for rape, bragged about sexual assault, ogled naked underage pageant girls, & paid off a porn star would have an inappropriate relationship with an employee?”

New: We pieced together dozens of violent incidents from the ICE agents seen in viral videos from Virginia this week. They've roamed across multiple states, but are most often working in Chicago. We also verified the identity of Martin Lagunas, the fed who pointed his gun at a woman on Monday:

I admit it is not logical, but reading a book is sustenance to the soul that can never be captured by an e-reader. The tactile feel of the paper. The wonderment of thinking - Who else has wandered these pages?

#TruthBeTold I endorse this statement. When did it become okay to spout conspiracies on a a daily basis? Once those people were considered oddballs, today they reside in the White House and on down the line. It's sad.

Data Centers in VA impacted electricity in half of the nation. This is terrifying. It’s time for our legislators to step up and protect us. Midterms are in 3 months — vote accordingly! Say NO to Data Centers. 🛑 1/2

Balint on Hegseth's obsession with testosterone and his attacks on women in combat: "I think it is indicative of the fact that there are so many people in this administration that have some weird, intense, homoerotic, feelings towards men while also being incredibly homophobic..."

Rachel Maddow’s description of Juan Sebastian Guerrero killed by ICE in Maine is a must see. She explains what happened w/out being graphic, and somehow that makes it even more powerful. Remember Alex, Pretti, and Renée? There have been no prosecutions. Still no justice. We know how this goes.

Note: in some of the pictures there appeared to be bullet holes in the car, Windshield. It is against ICE policy to shoot into a vehicle.

In case you aren't paying attention to the growing police state. I was at the airport last week. While approaching the TSA agent with my driver's license. The TSA agent confirmed my full name BEFORE I gave her any identity. Real time facial recognition is now up and running and it is fast.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

This post is going to be long but it’s important. One of the least-discussed developments in the Trump administration is the creation of the National Design Studio (NDS). On the surface, it was presented as a project to modernize government websites and improve the user experience.

MAGA is the last spasm of the Civil War. A backward looking cult of ignorance, racism and misogyny. Project 2025 has destroyed much, but we have the means to emerge as a stronger and more equitable Republic. Our goal should not be to rebuild the past but a better future.

Reform SCOTUS. End stock/crypto trading by elected officials. End Citizen's United and anonymous donors. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: Life=Healthcare, liberty=no secret police/political oppression Happiness=to live and love as you like, Restore the American Dream through fair taxes

We have a minimum wage, but since Eisenhower we have no progressive maximum wage. If minimum and maximum wages were linked we would have no trillionaires and a higher standard of living for all. It's not even hard math. We had it under Eisenhower.

We need to add TRUMP's DEFICIT to our talking points. When he is not actively trying to kill/molest our kids by poor Healthcare, no vaccines and sending them into endless wars, he is running up the deficit so we are owned by rich Arab states and China.

I know it is cliche to say Trump is a modern Caligula, but the UFC fighting cage, corruption, sexual assault, narcissism, stupid military adventures and weak Senate that empowers him is pretty damn on brand. History doesn't repeat? I get the feeling it sometimes just spits right in our face.

The one thing I have clung to like a desperate sailor on a piece of driftwood is that reality exists. You can't gaslight the world. Facts matter. Reality exists. No matter what the pedophile President says. Massive income disparity is real. The price of a hamburger is real. Failure in Iran is real.

NATO troops just finished a war games exercise hosted by Sweden with participation of many NATO members, including the US. Ukraine was asked to play the role of an invader from the east. Ukraine's drone strikes overwhelmed the NATO forces so rapidly that they called a reset -- three times in a row

Trump's derangement should spark ABC to revive the 'America Held Hostage' program of the Iranian hostage crisis. Every night Ted Koppel would spend 20 min covering it. In this case, an investigative team would reveal the day's lies on Truth Social, insider trading and his declining mental health.

I keep hearing we can't tax the ultrawealthy bc their wealth is in unrealized gains in equities. Couldn't equity value be calculated each year and taxed appropriately? If it goes up in value...tax. If it goes down...no tax.

The Blue state governors should make it clear that if GA or FL re-district they will also. Otherwise it looks to me like SCOTUS just re-lit the fuse on the Civil War...only this time it will be the Blue states leaving to either join Canada or be a nation.

Interesting that Ukraine has increased strikes against FSB and oil. This indicates to me that UKR is feeling confident about the stability of the front. UKR is slowly turning the tide and all that with Putin controlling PedoPresident.

Honestly, it’s exhausting to have such dumb, corrupt, incompetent, reckless and evil people currently running the country. What a sad expression of the failure of education and morality in a country that once could pride itself on advancing talented and capable people.

With the firing of one of the best 4 stars in the Army, Randy George, another story went under reported. Hegseth personally fired the Army's Chief Chaplains. No doubt Hegseth's Christian Nationalist, Jesus approved Crusade may not have sat well with the Chaplain. baptistnews.com/article/for-...

The world now sees the value of renewables (except US). PedoPresident is destroying renewables and discouraging EVs. The US turned its back on science. No vaccines, no EVs, no nothing. China and US were locked in an R&D race. We quit the race. We are cooked. Trump is a traitor working for Putin
