I'm so ashamed

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we weren’t going to worry about “stupid rules of engagement” anymore.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

Today, WH Border Czar Homan said California's Governor and LA Mayor Bass could be arrested if they interfered with ICE. This, after the arrest of a NJ Congresswoman & a Wisconsin Judge. This isn't what democracy is supposed to look like. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Boosting this for good measure. To quote the CNN piece: "Homan accused Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of creating “a sanctuary for criminals,” adding that neither are exempt from potential arrest." This should alarm the hell out of all of us.

Fellow Californians: @repbarragan.bsky.social has stated that she's been told to expect 30 days of ICE raids. DHS is also threatening to arrest California officials if they oppose the federal presence. Call your reps and find a protest. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Where are our military leaders and why are you allowing.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

ICE shot a reporter... "Nick Stern, a British news photographer based in Los Angeles, is set to undergo emergency surgery for a wound sustained during the standoff between police and anti-Ice protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday."

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should resign. He recklessly texted operational details of military strikes to a journalist, endangering the lives of American troops and our national security.

The more I read the "news" the more it reads like Hitler's playbook. Shut down media, ignore judicial orders, send people to camps, and completely negate the opposition party.

I dread the daily drama. The government run by tweets. The oligarchy plundering the country. The ignorant masses making excuses for the imbecile they exalted. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed.

Mark my words: right now, it's an editorial cartoon being killed by the brass of The Washington Post. Pretty soon, it's a major story about Trump's corruption being killed by the brass. This will happen. Get ready for it.

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️

If your response when people are killed by someone driving thru a celebrating crowd is to opportunistically make up facts about the driver to further your preexisting prejudices, instead of mourn the dead, your indifference to the lives of those killed means you have much in common with that driver.
