An organization of historic levels of corruption — see: www.libraryjournal.com/review/red-c... — propping up an administration engaged in historic levels of corruption with a cartoonishly corrupt "prize." It was inevitable!

If the #14thAmendment is valid only under the paradigms of its introduction to the constitution in 1868, then the #2ndAmendment would only allow to keep and bear the arms which where available in 1791. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The 2nd Amendment started when guns were only primitive muskets. We now have military grade automatic assault rifles. Big difference!🙄

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

This was the inevitable direction of his racism and hate.

Trump is hurriedly placing all kinds of Trump labeled things all over the country. Perhaps he knows that he doesn't have much time anymore to mark all the trees he wants to mark.

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

Lot of replies arguing that the erasure of shared truths is self-correcting problem. Maybe it is in day-to-day life where the realities of your pocketbook are a material concern, but the same isn't true of historical fact. These numbers are enormous.

It’s about Timing. The FBI probably first had to find out whether this case can be used by Trump or not. open.substack.com/pub/kenklipp...

Rhetorically this is Nazi slur. But it also could be dementia induced aggression. I don’t know whether Trump’s mental state and his cognitive issues might make it easier for Peter Thiel and JD Vance to rule the USA.

The ICE is not (yet) as murderous as the Gestapo, but they are lawbreaking like the Nazi‘s “Geheime Staatspolizei”.

Can Pete Hegseth - the self-dubbed "Secretary of War" - be charged with murder for killing unarmed survivors of clinging to wreckage in the Caribbean ocean? Shan Wu breaks down the legal & political issues - @legalafmtn.bsky.social youtu.be/NjeIFhiRBjs?...

Trump awards Trump with some medal. No surprise. Its insanity with a purpose: Another distraction from Trump's Epstein issue. #EpsteinFiles

"Republican legislators around the country have identified the biggest obstacles to their unprecedented mid-decade redistricting: the courts and the voters. So they’re responding by launching an all-out war on both." - Billy Corriher www.democracydocket.com/opinion/to-p...

I saw that in my crystal ball. What a waste of taxpayer money going through with this charade. Putin is a War Criminal - no compromise required. Tell him to get out of Ukraine now while he still has some live troops to bring home. NATO needs to reinforce that message through strength.

Trump is an evil racist. So is everybody who supports Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump can do that because the GOP supports him. The Republicans are as evil as Trump. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

In the US, military officers are in a Catch 22 limbo. The Trump regime makes Putin's day every day.

Their ignorance knows no bounds.

Hegseth: “Needless to say, no infantrymen like army lawyers – which is why JAG officers are often not so affectionately known as ‘jagoffs’.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hegseth makes Putin happy. He keeps demoralizing the US military more efficiently than any Russoan PsyOp could do it.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

For a POTUS with a criminal record it’s normal to release likeminded criminals, special those who supported his insurrection attempt. No surprise. There will be more.

Trump voters, The GeStaPo of Trump's regime enjoys quite some impunity already. As it happened to Hitler's supporters, if the ICE thugs have a bad day, they'll go after you, your family and your friends too. You asked for it. #Project2025 #Project25 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

We have spent more than 1,000 years trying to separate the awesome prosecutorial powers of the state from the personal whims and vendettas of the head of state. Trump’s actions and ideology seek to reverse those gains. Here’s the history he’d like to reverse www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/the-oldest...
