Other Presidents Tried to Heal America After Political Violence—Trump Is Dividing It www.theunpopulist.net/p/other-pres...

With GOP condemnations of political violence, just remembered when I was at 2022 Christian nationalist conference in PA - Roger Stone, Mike Lindell, Michael Flynn, Eric Trump were there - and the crowd cheering when a speaker announced a prophecy that the “Angel of death” would visit these people

Brilliant piece by @stevechapman.bsky.social at @theunpopulist.net: "Trump’s brazen savagery erodes the barriers represented by international law. It’s likely to make Americans in international spaces more vulnerable to being blown up by hostile powers." www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-sta...

How do any of these people stand any of these people??

Speaking of political violence. . . www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Trump bragged on audiotape about grabbing women's private parts. He said his 17-year-old daughter got him to promise he wouldn't date girls younger than her. And he kept popping up uninvited in beauty pageant dressing rooms. But sure, that creepy birthday letter to Epstein just isn't like him.

Maybe it makes me a liberal pinko Commie bedwetting woke leftist junkie, but I don't think masked federal agents should be able to spirit people away just because they spoke Spanish at Home Depot.

“All decision making is currently dominated by tariff considerations,” a retail company said. A transportation equipment maker noted: “This current environment is much worse than the Great Recession of 2008-09.” www.wsj.com/opinion/augu... via @WSJopinion

Chicago forever

Col. Bonespurs was not so keen on war when he had the chance to put his life on the line.

Just to make this clear, Chicago is in Illinois, a.US State. Chicago is part of the United States. He is declaring war on the United States.

NEW: A federal judge ordered an Arkansas school district to take down Ten Commandments displays in its classrooms following our lawsuit.

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

She's being very kind and generous to ICE. I'd put it at more like 10000%.

“It’s actually quite positive, the fact that this is now a top-down president leading the charge,” instead of “so-called experts who have read a lot of books but never talked to Putin,” a Trump official said. Yeah, meeting Putin provides all the knowledge you need about Russia. wapo.st/3JVtsXq

“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”? Maybe some people don’t stand for something because they DON’T fall for anything

I'm just on season 3 of "The Bear" but what I wonder is how Carm works 20 hours a day but has biceps that look like he lives at the gym.

What I always think about at times like this is they are praising a doddering old man with brain damage. Yes, he is powerful because he has seized power in illegal ways that our country has never dealt with before but some day he’ll be dead and they’ll be fools who once slobbered over a stupid man.

When you're considering the allegations against Lisa Cook, keep in mind that Trump's director of national intelligence claimed her home in Texas was her principal residence but voted in Hawaii. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/p...

How about if I burn a Confederate flag?

TIL that Red Sox outfielder Jhostynxon Garcia's nickname is "The Password," because his first name looks like one.

Can't stress enough how dangerous this is. These "specialized units" have a history of abuse and violence. Trump is directing a DefSec who knows nothing about law enforcement -- whose favorite word is "lethality" -- to create units from military personnel to patrol cities across the country.

I’d wager that Pritzker spends more time in the gym than Trump does
