***edit, ICE agents "continue" killing people

Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social

ICE agents finally killed someone. This was inevitable. I need Democrats to stand up and demand accountability, punish these rogue forces, and call for the abolishment of this modern Gestapo.

🔥🔥🔥 And while you were being complacent. The billionaires bought every single mainstream media and broadcast entity. They fired all the Pentagon journalist so now it’s only far right paid trolls. I will continue reporting from the halls of 26 Federal Plaza ways to support my work in my profile.🙏

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

For every fascist authoritarian, there was a Chamberlain who tried appeasement, or a Schumer who opted for stern letters over dogged resistance. Fascism thrives in the face of timid opposition. This is why voters are desperate for candidates who will truly challenge Trump and the oligarchs.

I suspect the next few weeks of living in a Dorothea Lange photo are going to shatter a lot of Americans' preconceptions about who's using SNAP and WIC.

Senate Dems are demanding answers about Trump's White House demolition and whether any of the donors could be engaging in "quid pro quo arrangements." Sen. Elizabeth Warren and colleagues are requesting a detailed accounting of the donors and specifics about the contracting and approval process.

Bullies always go after those weaker than they are. They don't have the balls to go after the criminals & rapists. They already have enough of those in the regime already.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.” And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

So what is Trump talking about? He’s referring to when the call records of eight Republican senators and one Republican House member were obtained by the FBI in relation to January 6. No calls were taped — just the phone records. We’ve known about this for a while.

He’s building Noah’s Arc? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump says his ballroom might cost more than $300 million but adds, "you know we're building the arc. Maybe we use it for the arc. We raised a lot of money for the ballroom, so maybe we'll put -- the arc is going to be incredible for Washington DC, so maybe we use it for the arc."

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said he’d be “apoplectic” if former President Joe Biden acted the same way Donald Trump is regarding recent military operations in Venezuela and the Caribbean Sea – a rare public rebuke from a member of Trump’s own party. www.rawstory.com/james-lankfo...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

President Manbaby Vulva Neck has cut off trade negotiations with Canada because they played clips of Ronald Reagan warning against the indiscriminate use of tariffs.
