www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... The fascist Trump regime’s ludicrous lying attacks on Abdul El-Sayed. They’re terrified because Abdul is the real thing, the right person.

What kind of mentality does this image suggest? The illness runs deep.

Just dropping in to say that Congressman John Moolenaar (R-MI) has not responded.

Federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis while he was restrained and unarmed, just weeks after an ICE agent killed Renée Good. Senior officials have denied what the videos plainly show and blocked meaningful investigation. It's time to speak up. verbasparsa.org/2026/01/26/t...

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

The Trump regime is straight-up fascist.

Amid everything else, it’s important to remember that the man is a constant liar.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Every servicemember, from the highest-ranking officers to the lowest ranking enlisted: if your superior orders you to invade or attack Greenland, it is an illegal order, and you must disobey.

The president of the US is insane, unfit, and surrounded by sycophants too craven to remove him. These things are obvious truths. Don’t be cowed by anyone who denies them.

“But it's also clear that there is likely something in the files that further incriminates him.” This is what I think, too. Horrible as the facts at hand are, there must be something else, something verging on the unimaginable. www.meditationsinanemergency.com/feminism-ver...

“His defenders insist he’s a . . . self-promoter and showman, and that it’s a mistake to pay too much attention to his words. In fact, it’s a mistake to ignore them. Trump’s malignant narcissism is the most essential thing to understand about him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
