Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

The new leader of Iran…we don’t want him. They can have him.

This is great news!!!!

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Being unqualified and controversial are requirements to be in Trump's cabinet.

There was zero reason not to know. Trump's history was out there for all to see. The lies were obvious.

Trump is a vile racist of very low intelligence, infantile temperament and insistently malevolent nature. No further explanation is necessary. I’m going to post everyday until he’s removed by congress or a body bag.

I've been chiding Carney for a few months for being more talk than substance on some big things. But this appears to be a pretty big thing. www.politico.eu/article/eu-a...

½ So, petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre has an insurmountable problem. He’s spent years building up his populist base. But it’s just not enough to elect him Prime Minister. And when the rest of us look at that base, all we see is: 1. Trump lovers 2. KuKluKonvoyers 3. Anti-vaxxers …

Exactly. It's sad to see Border Collies and trappdd in town, for example. Born to work.

Donald Trump is taxing Americans at levels not seen in decades. His tariffs increased taxes on US households by an average of $1,000 last year and will cost families another $1,300 in 2026. taxfoundation.org/research/all...

At least we know that while federal agents are killing people for using cell phones and the country is going to shit, Trump was working hard playing golf, hosting a screening for Melania’s movie, and rage-posting about his ballroom.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Using phony criminal charges to intimidate his opponents. Deploying masked thugs to terrorize American cities. Unilaterally threatening and bombing foreign countries. Trump is a ruthless dictator, plain and simple.
