Some posts filtered through the atrocities noting how trump's State Dept threatened to stop Zambia AIDS meds if they don't give up mineral rights. Please note, this is an Africa-wide issue. State requires that any assistance agreement benefits the USA, either w/ med research or rare earth rights.

Please tell me there is a protest planned outside of Mar-a-Lago this weekend. And Bedminster, Doral, etc. We need the miscreant-in-chief and his minions to really feel the outrage.

So if someone has an issue at immigration today, instead of making the airline fly them back to where they came from, I guess ICE agents will throw them into taxpayer-funded $1500/day detention centers for a few weeks and then have us pay to fly them to another country with a different language? 🤔

I wish the US media would report the reason for trump's delay of illegal infrastructure attacks as "He says..." versus stating as fact the alleged discussions with Iran. Personally, I wonder if the ex-president trump talks to in his dementia-addled sleep brought an Iranian with him last night?

A Stock Market that reacts so dramatically to the words of a known liar and manipulative cheat over reality and trends is not a market worth following. The NYSE has become a joke. A game for rich people to play. No better than prediction markets. We can't regard it as an indicator of anything.

When common sense votes, Republicans lose.

Dems should read the Mueller Report during the upcoming filibuster, honing in on the parts where Mueller says there was certainly Russian interference and that he can not exonerate the traitor-in-chief or his cabal. Then discuss bounties on US soldiers, and how Russia is helping Iran today.

I wonder if inhaling too much gold leaf paint or gold dust causes brain damage? We should get a serum gold level on that deranged maniac in the White House just in case.

Trump is psychotically demented enough to believe attempting to pull a Venezuela on Cuba will make us forget his Iran fiasco. And nobody in his admin will think it's a bad enough idea to talk him out of it.

I wish SOMEBODY among the Dems was smart enough to not say "the people don't want war" as a reason to vote against the supplemental. How about, "THEY ALREADY HAVE A TRILLION FRIGGIN DOLLARS!!!" if DOD didn't budget for a war in that, find some of the billions missing from the last audit. ✌️😎🪧

Former Saudi Intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal responds to President Trump being caught off-guard by Iranian retaliation against Gulf countries.

When people in disasters/war look for help and safety, schools and stadiums and hospitals are likely shelters. So I want to know whose missiles have hit 10 Iranian hospitals, several schools, and a soccer stadium so far. Reeks of Israeli tactics, but it was Hegseth declaring, "No rules in war!"

I haven’t seen any mention of the fact that the Iranian ship sunk in international waters was completely defenseless as it returned from an international exercise that required it to offload all ammo. The US backed out of the exercise at the last minute, and waited. No honor in this at all.

The US/Israel wiped out most of Iran’s leadership. Trump says they knocked out all air defenses, Air Force, and navy. Then he says bigger attacks are coming, possibly for weeks. What “punishment” is next? More schools & hospitals? The US can’t do a Gaza on Iran. People won’t stand for it.

I fear the only thing our "Peace President" has succeeded at so far is breeding another generation of anti-American terrorists.

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

Among other reasons against starting this idiotic war is that the World Cup and Olympics security just became a whole lot more expensive and fraught. I have seen no indication of DHS pulling FBI agents away from ICE-support duties so they can get back to anti-terrorism and cyber-terrorism duties.

Call me old fashioned, but the president starting a war that puts our youth at risk USED to result in an immediate callback of Congress to the Capital. It’s disgusting what trump’s little Johnson and Thune have reduced Congress to.

I’m not a master military strategist, but it seems to me that if you want the people to rally to your side and overthrow their government, killing 50+ children in the opening barrage is not wise. Multiple reports of a girls’ school struck in the opening bombardment of the Epstein Distraction War.

What are the odds that the pedo-in-chief can last as long as he wants to speak tonight? He could be the first president to fall asleep during his own State of the Union address!

The way the pedo-in-chief talks about a possible Iranian intervention reminds me an awful lot of how Putin talked about his pending Ukrainian intervention some 4 years ago. "3 days" is 4 years and counting for Russia. Will the USA still be fighting Iran in 2030?

I can totally see the pedo-in-chief swiping one of the hockey gold medals and wearing it tonight as he stands in front of the Venezuelan's Nobel Prize and that FIFA thing he got.

SAVE forces states to submit voter rolls to the DHS, mandates monthly purges, ends pre-election 90-day window, puts election workers at legal risk for mistakes, requires proof of residency at voting site, and more. GOP manipulated the debate to "voter ID: good or bad?" Really bad Dem messaging.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Resisting authoritarianism, fighting oppressors- this is part of US Americans DNA. It's time to snap out of the apathy oligarchs brainwashed us with for generations and find our fighting genes. Because we must take back the US from ICE, MAGA, Heritage, Epstein clients, and the trump cabal. 🪧😎👍

I don't get much interaction here, but I'll make this query anyhow: If SAVE Act passes, and SCOTUS strikes down the ID requirement as a poll tax issue, does the rest of the bill stay in effect? Because there are much worse things in that bill, and I'm not seeing any messaging about them.

Judging from antics of these ICE hoodlums, this could well be the most dangerous few days yet for Minnesota residents. Some of the terrorists have agendas they want to fulfill before they leave next week. Not to mention any box or two remaining on the pedo cabal's checklist. Watch out, folks.

Congress needs to pass a law making it impossible for a president to write a blanket pardon for any crimes that might get charged against an individual down the road. Because you just KNOW these smug little minions are counting on those pardons as they continue to ignore the Constitution. 🖕😎🪧

If there was any sanity among the pedophile-in-chief's White House handlers, Bondi's resignation would be in the works by now. But with this cabal of treasonous dirtbags, she will probably get a bonus slice of the corruption pie. Folks, we gotta get rid of these folks asap. They are killing us.

Maybe it's time for @housedemocrats.bsky.social to push a bill banning presidential pardons for past or ongoing crimes against children, including the covering up or enabling of such crimes. Maybe that would wipe the smug look off Bondi's arrogant PAB face?

Not for nothing, but an awful lot of rich folks knew what Epstein was like long before the 2008 charges. Just like most folks can't say they didn't know for decades what a horrible person trump is. And if you wanted to be in their social circle at any point, shame on you.

I think there was a missed opportunity for a meme using the killer rabbit (Bad Bunny) from the Holy Grail movie and trump, Ogles, etc as the Knights who are afraid of it. 🐇😎👍 Maybe I should invest in some AI/photoshop training for myself.

Assuming they're dense enough to not consider their own political future when history reveals what happens there... I hope the towns entertaining zoning changes or other permits to accommodate ICEIS camps take into account the impact of daily protests on their towns. Because we're coming.

One of the most important parts of the 2026/28 elections is going to be exit polls. Dems should commission regional voter polls for many days after to see if there are notable discrepancies before certification. We can't put anything past this administration, especially after they bought Dominion.

I've been around the block enough times to have picked up a few bits of wisdom here and there. for instance: Only bad guys wear masks. Only serious criminals & terrorists leave the house without ID. Even in a plot stacked against them, the good guys eventually win because Love trumps hate. 🪧😎👍

Lifetime Pulitzer to the reporter who asks trump how he feels about "Puerto Rico's president" and then lets him ramble on for as long as he wants. 😐

I was a huge Bob Dylan fan before I rolled seamlessly into my Bruce Springsteen era, which I'm not sure I've grown completely out of. I'm blessed to have seen them live over 100 times. I guess what I'm saying is, what's the big deal about understanding the words to Bad Bunny's halftime gig? 🎸😎✌️

I'm no military tactician, but- If Russia is bombing Ukraine's capital and its citizens, why can't Ukraine pop a few attack drones into Moscow? preferably in electric and gas plants. Might be the kind of thing that gets Russians up in arms over Putin's new war-funding-related restrictions.

How many Americans can afford to ship a gallon of de-icer fluid to "The Racist-in-Chief c/o Mar-a-Lago?" Or maybe to Miller's home? Or Noem, Lewandowski, Bondi... Shall we find out? 🪧😎👍

What we need in the next few weeks is for local zoning boards and inspectors to set and enforce use laws and maximum occupancy limits on these warehouses bought by ICE-IS. Minimum # of bathrooms per occupants. Regulate operating hours maybe? Parking law? Let them own lots of big empty buildings.

I can totally see Putin letting Gabbard throw a couple of Russians into jail on vote interference charges as part of a plot to convince Congress to nationalize or cancel the 2026 or 2028 reckonings. Don't underestimate how inept and spineless this congress is.

If states recruited and trained folks to monitor ICE, would a police-style vest that says "State Gov't Official Monitor" make ICE-IS think twice before assaulting and arresting them? Could an ICE agent be charged with impeding a state official if he questions or detains one?

I am somewhat fearful of my Guatemalan wife getting stopped by ICE because I know my kneejerk reaction will result in my own arrest, at the least. But I am ready to yell, "See the violence inherent in the system!" and "Help! I'm being oppressed!" at the top of my lungs for any observers. 🪧😎🦜

During the creepy pedophile crook's first reign of idiocy, I pointed out how the WH/GOP was running Nicholas Maduro's Venezuela playbook. What are the odds we killed hundred of Cubans and Venezuelans as part of a plot to grant Maduro's request for a cushy asylum in return for Trump Tower Caracas?

Does the White house have a BlueSky account? Because I think everybody who has a presence on any social media site with a White House account should tag the White House on posts about Black history facts several times a day throughout February. It only seems right. 🪧😎👍

First thing the next USA admin must do is to confiscate all assets of the trump cabal and use the monies to pay settlements and lawsuit damages. Imagine letting a 5-year-old die a painful death from Sickle Cell Disease because you don't want to deal w/ medical problems? Abolish ICE.
