The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.

It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

“What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created.” Lawrence Wong Singapore Prime Minister

“Rome is the mob. He’ll conjure magic for them, and they’ll be distracted. He’ll take their lives, and he’ll take their freedom. And still they’ll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate, it’s the sand of the Colosseum. He’ll bring them death — and they will love him for it.”

Blank Canvas A blank canvas is much easier to control. There are no lines to stay within and no image to complete. You can design your perfect scene, adhering only to your self esteem. For no one will know you’ve crossed over the line if it was never there to begin with.

They’ve come from the tower on the hill to tie strings on your wrists. And as their marionettes perform ever-worsening feats, they’ll keep you pointing everywhere but up.

Too often joy and fulfillment take a backseat to fear and the avoidance of monsters you only ever hear about.

When did the pursuit of happiness become a prescriptive process?

Might save a life.

These walk-backs are not happening in blue districts.

First time I’ve seen Border Patrol in Central Florida 😔

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

This reads like the opening paragraph of a novel so bleakly dystopian you'd put it down after five pages

A HIGHLY recommended read. A bullet point lost of the major impacts of this memo from the new Attorney General is threaded with this post.

Phenomenal summary of the major things that happened on day 18 of Trump’s presidency. Stay informed to fight back against the #shockandawe tactics they’re using to overwhelm the American people and hobble our checks and balances.

This should be sending off #alarm bells for everyone in this country.

“Donald Trump’s dramatic and vile dismantling of #USAID came as USAID’s inspector general was conducting an investigation involving Musk’s company, #Starlink. In three steps, Trump’s administration killed the investigation that was sure to embarrass Elon’s company.”

Living in Florida, I am used to obsessively checking NOAA’s website during hurricane season. The idea we may be relatively or completely blind during hurricanes is terrifying.

MAGA: Hillary had a server! Hunter had a laptop! Also MAGA: please look away while we hack government computer systems and steal all your data.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

The U.S. failed to rebuild Iraq & Afghanistan—now Trump wants to “develop” Gaza after erasing its people? Colonialism with extra steps is still colonialism. #GazaCrisis #HistoryRepeats

This would be life changing for millions.

Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to “take over” Gaza raises serious ethical and legal concerns. Forcibly relocating 2M Palestinians would violate international law, risk instability in the region, and set a dangerous precedent for U.S. interventionism. A bad idea wrapped in a worse idea. #Gaza #Trump

“The US will take over the Gaza strip… we’ll own it“

Seems Trump’s strategy is to start acting on things before the normal checks and balances can stop them. Repeating this often leaves everyone scrambling while irreparable damage is done to our country. share.newsbreak.com/bb4o44ox?s=i16

The narrative on Truth Social is that everyone is bowing to Trump. So frustrating when the facts are all there to show how wrong they are.

Any narrative that our checks and balances will save us went out the door the moment Elonia accessed secure databases and systems without any authority beyond cheese face’s order.

NEW CBS reports that Trump almost FLOODED the Central Valley of California by instructing the Army Corps of Engineers to release billions of gallons of water from two reservoirs in California's Central Valley. 1/

When Trump next blames something on “DEI” please know it means “didn’t even investigate.”

Community is critical now. Grateful there are people fighting to bring us together 💙💙💙💙

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Thank you, Canada!

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.” But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.

BREAKING: KRISTI NOEM REFUSES TO RULE OUT DETAINING WOMEN, CHILDREN AT GUANTANAMO BAY AS PART OF DEPORTATION SWEEP — MEET THE PRESS

TRUDEAU: “I want to speak directly to Americans — our closest friends and neighbors… yes, this will harm Canadians, but it will also have real consequences for you.” #TrumpTradeWar

Receiving this today hit different this year. Thank you to the #ACLU for all you do to safeguard everyone’s freedoms!

They are committed to this narrative to divert blame from Trump - the one who actually causes people to die.

At the same time, he’s also posting stuff like this. He truly couldn’t care less about the American people.

ICE was outside our schools today. If ICE is serious about getting criminals off the streets why are you starting with school children? WTF have they done?

Trump says he's also going to put tariffs on pharmaceuticals

REPORTER: You promised to reduce costs, and so many of the products that would be tariffed, the outgoing country is not paying the tariff, the buyers in the US pay that and it's passed on to consumers TRUMP: There could be some temporary short-term disruption, and people will understand that

Egregious lies being spread by our President AGAIN. House Bill 1296 sounds great until you realize it would replace I-2081, aka the Parents’ Bill of Rights, which offered more rights and protections. Trump counts on us to take his word at face value. I’ll be analyzing bills, so stay tuned!

Just heard from a friend who was a director on the National Security Council. They were all fired. All of them. There are so many watchtowers with no eyes and ears right now. This is Trump’s America. Are we saving money? No. The federal payroll is around 2% of the budget.

Signing an Executive Order saying a National tragedy isn’t your fault (despite it being obviously your fault) is one of the best examples of Trump’s toddler mind. Trump misrepresents DEI as a program to fill air traffic controller jobs with people with “severe intellectual disabilities.”

How do you make abortion federally illegal without making a law that says abortion is illegal? Through bills to “implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of each born and preborn human person (HR722) and the Life at Conception Act.
