Giving our money to criminals in exchange for bribes

Not to get all stentorian, but both my grandfathers served in WW2, and one of them died from its lingering sting decades later (chronic injuries). An ocean of fucking blood shed, the highest price imaginable paid to create a world where this shit didn’t happen, undone for *nothing*. Fuck you!

Guys, Liberal Currents is literally the best political publication going in the US - it breaks from smug value-free centrism and understands the need for relentless opposition to MAGA while announcing its unyielding support for the core values of liberal democracy. It is the future - help it grow

BELIEVE IN THINGS THIS IS A THREAT

Important perspective from Greenland.

I sort of am becoming a statue posting “REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU” because they are in fact taking things from me, right now.

couldn't read this without picturing this scene

Tried to capture my similar befuddlement here. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-taki...

This is a sick and evil man and everyone who voted for him is sick. You voted for this, this anathema.

This post has an incredibly high likelihood of aging like milk

the average minnesota mom has done more to fight donald trump than almost the entire senate democratic caucus

DOGE actually *signed a contract* to steal Social Security data for an explicitly illegal purchase

I think the speech about Somalis, by itself, violates the 14th Amendment

The US is literally the only NATO country that's ever used Article 5. Everyone else showed up. Like... what are you even taking about???

This is what you do when you’re running death camps

The president of the United States is, at this moment, having a full scale psychological breakdown

Trump's pardons list this week is filled with fraudsters, whose skin is white and who paid something for the pardon. A perfect demonstration of Trump's attitude towards fraud: fine is you're white enough and I get a taste of the action.

When Holocaust deniers talk about the camps, they’ll lie and claim most of the deaths were from typhus.

Trump is, more or less, Literally Hitler, a megalomaniac obsessed with deranged territorial conquest, and at some point someone might want to consider that pretending that he’s something less dangerous and more rational than that is making the problem worse, and not better

Congrats again to the East Coast elites who told us this guy was a serious Treasury Secretary because he had the right credentials and went to the right cocktail parties

To be clear--this is beyond pathetic.

The fact that you can have a Ukraine/Taiwan emoji in your handle and entertain this shows just how vastly empty and nihilistic the American right is. There is nothing they can't reconcile that goes against their stated beliefs as long as the libs are owned.

I will never forgive Trump voters

rural people don't even have their own politics; whoever is the richest, most connected person in the county? you get their politics.

I cannot express how it makes me feel to see my Minneapolis neighbors living every day in the line of fire, risking injury, imprisonment, and death at the hands of a tyrant, while these soft, empty suits prance around at Davos and hope that if they pretend hard enough he’ll go away.

Our worthless class of elites is responsible for Trump, not because they agree with him but because their affectation of seriousness has suffocated them and made it impossible to leverage their resources and platforms to stop or slow him. They’d have to break the pose, and REACT, and they will not.

Democrats are signing the check made out to DHS with the same disapproving shake of the head that Biden perfected when he was selling JDAMs to Bibi

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.

Yeah that’s the only difference for sure

the international far right’s embrace of trump, and trump’s attempts to force the rest of the world to adopt miller’s international segregationism, is a reminder that even the “globalist” attack was projection. They want to use american power to remake the whole world into fash ethnostates

I was absolutely not joking when I said this the other week.

I routinely wish that we could convey to the median voter how the "traditional gender roles" crowd simply does not comprehend notions of honor or duty. If the man on the street understood how hollow & depraved these guys are, they'd riot en masse

you don’t hate the press enough

Archbishop Broglio is, to put it extremely mildly, not generally viewed as one of the more liberal of the American bishops.

Remember right after ICE murdered Renee Good when they shot a second person, this time in the leg? They put out an elaborate story about the man assaulting ICE agents, ramming them, etc. Only one problem: it was all a lie, as shown by multiple videos and the transcripts of calls to 911. ICE lies.

a whole lot of people out here showing their inner Russian liberal

Inside pretty much all of us there is a small Russian liberal. It demands recognition for having done the bare minimum, it demands that we be sheltered from the consequences of our government's actions, it whines, it makes excuses. You must drown this voice if you want victory and dignity.

Unironically this is 1984 shit from the media

Those espousing such a view will be forcibly made to Read The Sam Piece aloud repeatedly until morale improves and/or degrades to requisite levels www.offensive-bias.com/p/american-v...

If ICE/CBP/etc. weren't kidnapping people and putting them in concentration camps, then these kidnapped people wouldn't be dying in concentration camps.

There was no border crisis. There was no invasion. There was certainly no “Great Replacement.” There were only thinly-veiled excuses by fascists for authoritarian crackdowns like this—where militarized, untrained, masked federal agents harass people with darker complexions or anyone else they want.

The Trump era

i think it is simply true that for all intents and purposes stephen miller is the president of the united states

What happens when the headlines are: * NATO SECRETARY GENERAL ANNOUNCES SURRENDER OF MILDENHALL, RAMSTEIN, AVIANO * OVER 100,000 US TROOPS IN CAPTIVITY * NATO OFFERS CEASE FIRE, RETURN OF PRISONERS UPON CHANGE IN US LEADERSHIP

every single goddam crisis happening right now is self imposed

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

The Obama "apology tour" that the right derided so much is a drop in the bucket for what is going to be needed after this mess
