Shout out to @TaylorIndiana on X.com, who posted this photo of new DHS/ICE boss, cowering on January 6 as MAGA rioters try to hang the Vice President, injure and kill police officers and overthrow the US Government.

I wonder what repuglicans mean when they say they are about less government spending and rail against state-sponsored charity projects.

There's been some scuttlebutt about whether the sane majority in this country would have to "forgive and forget" elements of the MAGA base that are starting to see a problem with trump. Speaking for myself: I would forgive you if and when your show by your actions that you changed your mind.

I coudn't go to bed tonight without expressing my gratitude to the righteous, upstanding folks who will be protesting against trump's concentration camps. Rachel Maddow of MS NOW reports tonight that the protests are primarily to be held in the locations of these camps. Mazel tov and thank you.

Oh, wow. Whenever I go to X it is like swimming in a toilet. So many logic-hating, vituperous, venom-spewing sociopaths. Incredible.

I've been a Linux guy for years. My sign-in ends with a fortune cookie. Today's was this: "Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation." -- Johnny Hart"

We're still waiting for justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. They could start by letting Minnesota investigate these murders. The attached "short" clip presents one possible reason for the feds to try to avoid this. www.youtube.com/shorts/mExAq...

1. trump sold a line of BS to his cult followers to justify an insane war; 2. he/it poses a grave threat to national security until he is removed from office; 3. none of this stops Iran from being run by brutal, murderous, torturing mullahs who are totally NOT civilized.

In the Soviet era, the two big Russian newspapers were called "The Truth" ("Pravda"), and "The News" ("Izvestia"). That gave rise to a Russian saying, true then as now, including now in the US: "There is no truth in the news, and no news in the truth." A utopia for the New Right:

trump has proposed a $1.5 TRILLION Budget for next fiscal year (2027), that increases military spending by 42% while further slashing programs designed to help regular people. He and Vought, architect of Project ("I know nothing about it") 2025. Full Article: www.commondreams.org/news/trump-2...

Iran's mullahs are a curse on the world. The Iranian people must be empowered. But trump isn't interested in people, Iranian or American. Agent Krasnov and his Special Military Operation in Iran are being conducted in imitation of his idol Putin, brutalizing civilians. Threatening infrastructure now

4/3/2026 Friday 18:00 #UKRAINE update: President Zelensky was speaking with Pope Leo, at which time Putin launched attacks on Ukraine's residential areas and infrastructure. Just like trump is doing and threatening to do in Iran. War Crimes. youtu.be/ZAyy1P-czIg

Good morning. In times like these, it is well to remember where the current chaos had its genesis. Also, a reminder from the US Constitution, Amendment 14, Section 3.

THANK YOU NO KINGS 3.0 PROTESTERS!

It's more obvious with each passing day: not only is trump off-balance, but his public statements are getting ever more deranged. Why do "they" let him continue to roam roughshod, as it were, over everything? I'm not the only one who finds this baffling. Then I remember who "they" are. Or just "R".

Who are the republicans/traitors who are showing the members of the Russian State Duma around the White House, while Russians are actively helping IRAN target US military personnel so that the Iranians can and injure them? cepa.org/article/mosc...

It is time to recall that tens of thousands of our neighbors and fellow human beings are being held in concentration camps in the US. It was shocking when we first learned about the horrific, inhumane conditions that these people are facing. It's getting worse. OPPOSE TRUMPS CONCENTRATION CAMPS!

Two things can be true at the same time. The US war against Iran has been misguided, but the Iran leaders and IRGC are dangerous and antipathetical toward all non Muslims, including non-SHIA Muslims. If their missiles can hit Diego Garcia, they can hit European capitals. Don't forget Iran's PEOPLE!

I would like to suggest that you in the anti-trump coalition that opposition to the US attack on Iran is totally reasonable, but opposing Iran's regime of pseudo-Muslim butchers and torturers is just as important. Two things can be true at the same time. #IRAN #USvsIRAN #USWAR

Spineless, brainless Republicans keep extending trump's dictator/Hitler-ian license. That includes ALL Republicans. I'm an independent, but I can never pull the lever for anyone with an R in front of their name ever again. They are abusing us and should be prosecuted for it.

Sure, it's partisan in the sense that no Repuglican would dare to ask this question. But it speaks to that age-old mystery... Who is the Grand Fool really working for? Other than the perfectly obvious answer, "himself," who pulls the strings? Probably NOT Melania. www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

The trump administration's terrorist army, ICE/CPB, has reduced its footprint here in Minnesota without actually leaving. Please, friends, remember that the administration's war against citizens and non-citizens alike is still underway! Voice your opinion to your congresspeople! No Kings 3, Mar 28!

The US government does not even *want* to know the truth about what is happening in Iran. Therefore they can't get it right. Nevertheless, those who oppose the Trump-Iran war should be careful to acknowledge how truly evil the Iranian regime is/was. Two things can be true at the same time.

Liz Oyer the lawyer has some advice for those who think Pam Bondi and her roving band of misfits (i.e., DOJ lawyers) should NOT be permitted to break the law without consequences. www.youtube.com/shorts/434iX...

Meidas Touch network is holding an event so that people will not have to watch the 'State of the Union' farce that trump will hold. The object is to present true facts, not trump's lies, and a vision of the future where we will rebuild our democracy on the ashes of fascism. youtu.be/qA5hZwPfqYs

Let's not forget, this "person" is a proven mass murderer, having taken the lives of over 100 human beings in the Caribbean, near Venezuela. And yes, I have one F*CK of a case of trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's not-my-president-s-day. Remember how he "won" the election in 2020? Who could fail to love these happy-go-lucky violent criminals? They just want to be how trump is, and in that they were successful.

Marco Rubio says European countries should reassert national sovereignty. If they do, they will have to reject Rubio's interference in their national affairs. The US (currently) has no respect for their sovereignty. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇦

“I brought prices way down,” Trump said in response to a question from The Washington Post last week. “... when I first came in, the Democrats were screaming ‘affordability.’” The orange menace is out of touch with reality. This is the definition of psychosis. In full: www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Repost: Medic Kim @medickimw I’ve been in Minneapolis since Saturday and it’s plain as day that absolutely no drawdown or back off has occurred. ICE literally caused a multi car pileup chasing someone today in St Paul. IT’S ALL STILL HAPPENING

2023: Palestinians invade Israel to commit openly genocidal attacks on Israeli civilians. 1500 people were killed, burnt, mutilated, raped, and taken hostage. The reaction: loud and openly anti-Jewish support for Palestinians. 2026: tens of thousands slaughtered in Iran. Reaction: crickets.

I feel like Bluesky is my community, or at least an important community for me. My politics and opinions are generally not congruent with political ideologies of the right or the left. I consider myself independent. I tried to go to an anti-ICE, pro-immigrant rally. It was a very strident atmosphere

"The White House celebrated the arrest in posts on X. “WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP,” it said in one." Given that ICE regularly shoves clergy members onto cold pavement, shoots directly at their faces with pepper balls and mace, the UTTER HYPOCRACY of that statement is palpable.

The clip below is from Alternet, January 22, 2026. Die-hard MAGA cultists, thirsty for blood and revenge for imagined, made-up slights, will get their worthy reward for their worship of their false messiah, trump and his Repug a**-lickers. They'll receive what his policies are worth: NOTHING

I always saw the "Islamic Republic" of Iran as the opposite of our democratic republic in the US, therefore easy to detest. With the latest Iranian uprising, I have begun to wonder if we are only different in the degree of decrepitude of our tyrannical madman regime versus theirs. #IRAN #DEMOCRACY

I live in Saint Paul, MN, 10 miles from Minneapolis. I don't care what your politics are. During the past two weeks, trumpist goons have been making life here a twisted ruin of normaility. People, regular citizens, are being assaulted. Bones have been broken. People are being maimed and killed.

According to Dept. of Homeland Security just released another lie: they said the ICE man that shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding as a result of his assault on Renee. Legacy media is propounding this obvious false tale. Considering the source...

We need to resurrect the word "pederast." Once used as a slur against all male homosexuals, this word comes from the Ancient Greek roots "ped-" (for παιδ-, "child"), plus "erastes (one who engages in erotic "love") = παιδεραστης, "pederast" - a creep that engages in erotic activities with a minor.

I recommend this short read for anyone at all who has an interest in the degradation and accelerated decay happening in trump's "america" and the return of the Ugly American. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

With the New Imperialism so much in vogue, for the elite circles...well, I have a hard time joking about it. It's viperous, vicious, vehement, violent and several other punchy terms that don't all start with "v."

It can't be just me. Watching trump's behavior lately, and that of his minions, such as the ICE-Gestapo Mavens Tom Homan, the grifter, and Kristi Noem, from nowhere, indicate to me that the country has gone all-out n*zi and the commander in chief is Non Compos Mentis.

It is easy to see from all the blather from the trump-entity itself about how the Venezuela Invasion is all about US Big Oil companies' enriching themselves by plundering Venezuela's natural resources. They said the quiet part out loud. The "trump-Putin Axis" scores another win. Real people lose.

It's really sad that the United States I have known all my life. I would still give my life if there were some way to rescue my homeland from the clutches of the perfidious trump regime. I object strenuously to the fascistic actions of the current administration, including its foreign adventurism.

Former president trump, or should I say "lump", is acting in ways that are at once catastrophic, cowardly, insane, and illegal. Insane should be read to include "demented", beyond his petty dictator ability to control. Now, after Venezuela (or more likely during), he is threatening Mexico. Insane.

I wanted to say something positive. Today the *"good"* news is trump's approval ratings are cratering and the emerging opposition movement is building itself up. The bad news, *again* is trump's betrayal of both the US and of Ukraine. trump, HOW STUPID ARE YOU ON A SCALE of -100 TO MINUS INFINITY?

This picture showed up on another platform, whose name I won't mention, but it's not hard to grok.

Tell Congress: No War With Venezuela act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...

THIS IS NOT A DRILL My medicaid premiums went up from $64 per month to $158 per month, an increase of almost 250%, meaning my premiums have been raised somewhere between double and triple. I guess it's too early to retire. Monthly budgets were already pressed to thin, and the tariffs haven't hit.

It's almost shocking that trump thinks that the US is growing rich from his unlawful tariffs. Since Reagan, the Republican party has been associated with fiscal conservatism. But now we have trumpism: the regime stealing the people's money for its own purposes via tariffs. This is Communism. Ugly.
