I love this image.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

People who have studied the downfall of democracy in other countries recognize exactly what is happening in the U.S. The parallels are unmistakeable; the only difference is the speed - we are going *faster*. apnews.com/article/trum...

Nobody forces anyone to be an ICE agent. These thugs have all willingly chosen to do that job. They could quit any time they want. Remember that.

Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.

Even if you only care about citizens and not people living here since they were teenagers, this does incredible harm to two American citizens and helps no one at all. Except Miller and other ghouls who get off on violence to dark skinned people. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Sneak peak at all of America tomorrow for “No Kings Day” 🍊🦅🇺🇸

It took THREE WEEKS to get this indictment. I have to ask; how many grand juries did they shop before getting the indictment? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

45 years ago, Jose Francisco Garcia Rodriguez fled Cuba on a ship provided by the US for people seeking refuge from the Cuban government. While on his way to work, the 73-year-old grandfather was picked up by ICE agents near his home in Lafayette, LA. He’s being held in an ICE processing center.

See Musk maneuver Trump and Vance and think: Yarvin and Thiel. To these so-called “thinkers,” people are cogs and democracy is a dirty word. They see Lincoln and FDR as dictators and dictatorship as the way to go. The news is that this is news. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/m...

What Trump is doing with Greenland and Denmark is applying his old sexual predator playbook to foreign relations.

Never forget: Rex Tillerson was right.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

People that don't have nothing have too much?

Good people are so tired of traitors masquerading as patriots, of the treasonous continually waving the flag, of hateful people peddling a God of love, of human beings with no empathy pretending they care about the sanctity of life. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-exhaus...

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Last month, Jose Franco Caraballo Tiapa, a Venezuelan migrant who was seeking asylum in the US, showed up to his routine check-in with ICE in Dallas, when authorities detained him. His wife believes he’s one of the hundreds of Venezuelan men who were sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.

"That girl is an American citizen. She is fighting for her life. And Donald Trump shipped her out of her own damn country." One of several awful reasons for those gleeful videos of faceless people in handcuffs is to stop you from noticing this.

"Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It almost destroyed civilization itself. That didn’t happen because Germany took in too many migrants. It happened because the German people fell for arguments uncomfortably close to JD Vance’s."

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Now THIS is true leadership on the world stage. In stark contrast to the weak, ignorant clown we currently have in the White House. #SlavaUkraini 🇬🇧 🇺🇦

Groceries are more expensive, air travel is less safe, infectious diseases are raging and inflation is higher than it’s been in months, but at least Trump was able to strong-arm a sovereign nation into releasing a couple of psychopathic sex traffickers. At least there’s that.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

The state sponsors of terror and domestic terror groups are watching. They see that the FBI is in chaos. Be careful

Trump is deporting the guy who mows your lawn but releasing the guy who bashed a police officer’s head in back to your community.

Dear MAGA, The inauguration will be a private affair. Just Trump & the broligarchs in the rotunda. No seating for you. No special events to acknowledge your support. Not to worry. There will be emails later urging you to buy Trump coins, shoes, bibles, hats etc. Keep that cash coming. Be best.

Biden's farewell speech to the military: "Let me close with a final request. I say it not as your president or commander in chief. I say it as a man who spent 50 years of his life serving his country in a different way. Remember your oath."

Braedon: I come from a nation that believed in fascist ideology for a while. And we don’t want to go to that again. We are close to it because people want to simplify complex problems. The essence of fascism is to simplify complex problems and feed people who don't have time to read some bullshit.

A jury of 12 of his peers who heard all of the evidence and had the opportunity to hear his lawyers argue against it unanimously agreed that he was guilty. Prosecutors can't make that happen, nor can judges. That's our criminal justice system in action. The jurors found Trump guilty.

"There are roughly 510,000 NCAA athletes. And, according to the president of the NCAA, there are fewer than 10 trans athletes *total*. Even if all of these efforts to 'protect' women’s sports were in good faith, this would still be a solution in search of a problem."

If my constituents had just been slaughtered in a terrorist attack I wouldn’t be cracking jokes for the cameras but that’s just me.
