An in depth articulation of the most egregious desecrations of decency, and implementation of cruelty as policy, constituting cornerstones of the Tr*mp regime's escalating war on immigration and the rule of law:

Important to keep in mind: "The day after Trump is gone, we have..the same gerrymandered maps. The same consolidated media. The same oligarch class. The same party apparatus that protected him through everything and will find another vehicle for their project before his body is cold."

The wealth gap, simplified:

Resist.

One nation, under MAGA's God: "Despite the Bible's clear call to 'love thy neighbor,'" the pastors lament, "the MAGA movement has used its version of the Christian faith to oppress immigrants, oppose the rights of women and condemn the LGBTQ+ community..and arrests of faith leaders.."

On the bright side, it saves the ambassadors some shame, and no one will be talking behind their backs now..

America--SOLD OUT

Seem to be alone in this, but every time Arianna Grande pops up, can only think one thing--DONUT LICKER. It's a chronic condition, and incurable.

Profiles in courage: “The settlers are trying to provoke the local people into protecting themselves, but if they do the army and police will storm the community and arrest everyone.. We are a protective presence because we are putting our bodies between the Jewish settlers and the Palestinians.”

Have been a victim of this situation this too, Three Cheers for ProPublica-- (something EVERYONE needs to be aware of):

Suzie Wiles needs to google: Driving Doze Reminder with Vibrate Alert Anti-Sleep Alarm for Driving Doze Reminder Sleep Warning Device

Every member of congress, and of the Cabinet, should be required to watch this psychologist's assessment of Tr*mp's personality disorders and cognitive decline into dementia:

Jim Crow is alive and well: "..the experiences and legacies of Black and brown people who speak uncomfortable truths about American society, such as Mother Fletcher, are being distorted and/or silenced in service to patriotism, American exceptionalism, white racial innocence and white victimhood."

Think Project 2025 is bad? Project 2026 is worse: "Their [Heritage’s leaders] message is unmistakable: They are coming for reproductive freedom. They are coming for voting rights. They are coming for LGBTQ+ equality. They are coming for the federal protections that women rely on every day."

GUILTY: "President Donald Trump's administration wants the International Criminal Court to amend its founding document to ensure it does not investigate the Republican president and his top officials, a Trump administration official said, threatening new U.S. sanctions on the court if it did not."

The GOP is shaking in their jack boots. The mayoral race in Miami went from a 67 pt win in 2021 to a 20 pt loss today. Trump has revoked TPS for100,000 Venezuelans in greater Dade Co. And guess what? PBS is still here, and Frontline, along with ProPublica, is covering that tonite. Suck on it MAGA..

Rat on anyone not MAGA, get paid: "..this implementation order..provides for a funding system to reward people that provide these tips that I was describing before. It’s basically a bounty system for anti-Trump thought and reporting on it."

The ongoing agenda to institutionalize inhumanity enacted: "..the sweeping purge of dozens of immigration judges across the country is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to hollow out the already overburdened courts..and reshape them as a tool for the mass deportation agenda."

Scarier than the Terminator? Yep: "Drones are the killing machine of the twenty-first century, combining the remorseless brutality of medieval weaponry and the sadism of video games..responsible for 70 to 80 percent of all combat casualties on both sides in the nearly four-year-old war in Ukraine."

Which is worse, the cruelty or the corruption?(toss-up?) "For the Kremlin, the Miami talks were the culmination of a strategy..to bypass the traditional U.S. national security apparatus and convince the administration to view Russia not as a military threat but as a land of bountiful opportunity.."

Evil: "[as] Robert's court rewrites the Constitution in the image of Trumpian autocracy, it’s become clear that [his] promise to be a neutral umpire was a lie. We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up..spent Trump’s second term not applying the law so much as clearing it out of his way"

Cruelty Oopsie: "Drastic cuts in food stamps and health care programs were central planks in Project 2025..and were written into legislation in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that passed last summer. But the consequences of these cruel intentions weren't supposed to be this obvious this early."

Evil: "Roberts and his colleagues have done immense damage to the underpinnings of the democracy Americans painstakingly built. They have reallocated political power from ordinary citizens to billionaires, worsened congressional paralysis, and transformed many elections into meaningless exercises."

Israel cannot stop killing Palestinians the same as a junkie can't quit using heroin--it just feels too damn good: “The intensity of the death toll has decreased, but martyrs and shelling happen every day..and all the basic necessities of life are still lacking..”

Know this ICE theme song will be posted a thousand times, but gonna be one of them:

Embarrassingly, we wear the same eye patch: "GOP leaders decided to ban Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) from traveling for three months due to an "alcohol-related episode" in Mexico..One Mexican official cracked a crude joke that made a woman present uncomfortable. Crenshaw toasted the remarks.."

MAGA existing beyond Tr*mp is a conservative fever dream: "Trump is a generational talent who had been a celebrity long before he undertook a political career. Indeed, without his celebrity, there would have been no presidency. And without him, there is no MAGA.."

Gaza HORROR: "Al-Assar was saved by chance when a Palestinian man searching for his son’s body in the morgue saw the young girl’s fingers moving as she lay on a cold slab." “I was in a coma for two weeks, and when I woke up, my family told me that I had been placed in the morgue refrigerator..”

YGBFKM: A senior White House source told ESPN there has been back-channel communication between the administration and a member of the team’s ownership about his wish. “It’s what the president wants, and it will probably happen,” the source added.

The UK is calling out the IDF's murderous ways: "Daniel, the tank unit commander, says in the documentary ["Breaking Ranks"] that the rhetoric declaring there was no such thing as an innocent in Gaza seeped down into army ranks. “You hear that all the time, so you start to believe it,” he says."

Is it too much to hope for? "Bottom line: If Republicans don’t fix this [the gov't shutdown] fast, 2026 won’t just be a loss — it’ll be an extinction event."

On behalf of every decent Kentuckian--fuck Kim Davis

Ivory Towers have gone from shitting on those below to shitting their own pants..

Evil incarnate: "DHS sent me [Katie Miller] to the border to see the separations for myself – to try to make me more compassionate – but it didn't work..My family and colleagues told me that when I have kids I'll think about family separation differently. But I don't think so."

New times, New tactics: "..we have treated messaging as a tactic, and they treat it as infrastructure. They built a multi-decade insurgency against reality itself — think tanks to manufacture language, media pipelines to saturate it, and repetition so relentless it became muscle memory."

The ICC needs to issue warrants, ASAP: “The administration has not even named its victims, nor provided evidence of their alleged crimes. But even if they did, intentionally killing people accused of committing crimes who pose no imminent threat to life is murder, full stop.”

Identify the oxymoron: Alice Walton, a billionaire philanthropist and a member of the family that founded Walmart, gave $100,000 to Fix the City in August. She previously gave $100,000 to that same group in April, before the primary. Walton is worth $115.5 billion, according to Forbes. A: BilPhil

Billionaires conflate being super-rich with being super-smart, when they're simply super-lucky. Don't indulge them.. "He [Gates] also claims that innovation can save us from the worst impacts of climate change. As such, the global community should instead prioritize preventing human suffering.."

Astronomically Catastrophic Mismanagement: “To look at the president’s past, I mean, he’s been a master at bankruptcy,” said Stier. “He is, in essence, taking our government to bankruptcy by spending our resources now and not investing in resources that we need for the future.”
