Trump's racism should be no surprise. His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination. He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5. He entered politics with the racist birther lie. There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.

Never forget who Trump governs for.

We need not tolerate these corporations and their complicity in the inhumane acts now being done by ICE, Border Patrol, and Trump’s Department of Homeland Security. Together, we’re even more powerful. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-biggest-corporations-helping

Trump is exploiting America's birthday to reward his donors. Donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself. Everything is for sale.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting. Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process. What is the regime trying to hide from us?

Yep. The eedjit Trumpen Tariff game only harms America. (The US dollar has lost nearly 18% of its value in the past year & the Economic Numbers are so bad DC won't publish them.) It's that pompous imitation of a Nazi Trump borrowed from Putin that pisses the world off.

European leader spoke of shock at Trump’s state of mind after Mar-a-Lago meeting Slovakia’s prime minister told EU leaders at a summit last week that a meeting with Donald Trump left him shocked by the U.S. president’s state of mind, five European diplomats briefed on the conversation said.

Sen. Warner on FBI search in Georgia: “These are not the actions of an administration serious about election security…It is about shaping the outcome of future elections and, quite honestly, dismantling the very guardrails that were put in place to keep them free and fair.”

Sen. Warner on Tulsi Gabbard in Georgia: “Director Gabbard argues that her presence was justified by broad authority…[That] authority is not a license to participate in a sham investigation.”

I am so disgusted, disturbed, exhausted and depressed. That said, not giving up. That's what they want.

@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: ICE should not get another goddamn dime. They executed Alex Pretti. They’ve taken kids from their families. They’re violating constitutional rights. ICE should get disbanded, and Noem should be impeached.
