A "thank you" to Trump from GAZA substack.com/@politicsusa...

Happy birthday to a wonderful son!

Seeing reports that the IDF booby trapped toys and cans of food to explode on people returning to northern Gaza. Fucking gross man.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

🙏🏽❤️

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

“The Pope from Chicago quoted Hannah Arendt on fascism, who herself long taught at University of Chicago‘s Committee on Social Thought,” is an amazing true sentence.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

There’s been an active cover-up since the mid-2000s to conceal the Epstein Files. The damning info from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s investigation & report into allegations of professional misconduct by the federal prosecutors, including Alex Acosta. youtu.be/7et6kS7r-T4?...

I saw the new George Orwell documentary last night. It’s called 2+2=5. I have been a little bit squeamish about applying the word totalitarian to Trump and the Republicans. Not anymore. We are experiencing a totalitarian movement. There’s no question.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...” apnews.com/article/pope...

Sooo the tax dollars withheld from Americans to aid in housing, food and health care is now being used to house, feed, provide health care and ARM other Americans who will clash with his neighbor because a bloated billionaire lies to them?

Ooh. Lighted helmets. New military toys all the time. Plenty of $ for this.

Trying to incite violence. The court orders seem to have no effect on these thugs. Why? Because the “executive” branch has all the law enforcement resources, and the order to do violence is coming down from there. Drumpf wants an excuse to invoke the insurrection act.

Good For You Senator Schiff 👏🏻 We Will All Stand With You against Chump's Authoritarian Regime.......

When you control all three branches of government like the GOP does and you pass legislation to give tax breaks to the rich who do not need it. And to help pay for it, you cut social services the middle class and poor desperately need. Given that reality, you own the shutdown.

Rep. Jason Crow is a former Army Ranger who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the 82nd Airborne Division and the elite 75th Ranger Regiment.

Love this so much 📸 Respective Collective

DIFFICULTIES Throughout my life I have observed that: There are people who live life with some difficulties. But there are people who experience many difficulties and a little bit of life. BON DIA ♥️ AMICS MEUS

Unsure how many times I have to repeat it, but health care shouldn’t be for-profit.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.: —Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks —Bribes from ABC & CBS —TikTok sale to Ellison —Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base —Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

Today and every day, we recognize the hardworking Illinoisans who work around the clock to put food on our tables and carry on our proud agricultural traditions. Know that we’ll always have your back. Happy National Farmer’s Day!

I think the only thing Chief Justice John Roberts and I both enjoy is a gay dinner party on Martha's Vineyard. Glory!

Anyone knows where this is posted? It should be EVERYWHERE, people have short memories!

3D printers: WE NEED YOU! If you have a printer, start making whistles for your community. Volunteers of ours have been printing and passing them out across communities, over 200 have been handed out so far!

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal.. There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

People telling me that Trump didn’t forget he was the president on January 6th 2021, he’s trying to convince his followers he wasn’t.

lardass should get his fat ass out to Chicago and Portland and meet with the Governors of the two States and Mayors of the two cities and see first hand what is actually happening rather than take his info for 5 yr old video clips of George Floyd protests. 😡😡😡

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

I have never forgotten the oath I raised my hand for. I never will.

Do any of you really believe there will be any more elections in your country? At this point, even if they happen, they are going to be incredibly dangerous. The J6 pardons have told that group there'll be no consequences, so they'll out be marauding. ICE will be out. Postal voting is unreliable.

They just bought Dominion Voting Systems who control the machines for the elections. America might be cooked.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier-- BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started BASH: So this is retribution then

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."
