"The move will stop, at least temporarily, travel for medical treatment, attending university, visiting relatives, or conducting business." Trump stops severely injured Palestinian children from seeking medical help here. Please, Palestinian Americans, help us with your votes! He's a liar!

GOP these days: “A noun, a verb, and TRANS!”

Trump sent the National Guard armed into D.C. WHAT could go wrong? Kent State, anyone??? In 1970, students peacefully protested the Vietnam War. They were carrying flowers, and the Guard was carrying M-1 military rifles. Four young people were killed exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

Putin mocks Trump by contradicting him on a "peace deal." The other finger in Trump's eye was 2 days ago when Putin deliberately bombed an Amer. company in Ukraine! Trump's response to this attack against America? 💤 What if Obama let Russia bomb an American company? He doesn't love America!

See this? Will the people rise? Maybe? We need our protest singers. This is a start!

I'm throwing a queerie out into the void: Anyone understand the thinking & strategy behind Project 2025? It seems illogical to me to cruelly cut off aid to people in Africa, which leaves China in a position to step up & gain their loyalty. ETC. It just all seems so illogical and self-defeating.

Ruh Roh... it appears DJT is claiming squatter's rights to the nation's White House. Seems that he has NO intention of departing! Trump plans $200M overhaul of East Wing in significant change to White House, which he seems to think is now HIS. More tacky "bordello" gold. TALK ABOUT ELITESTS!

The Trump Administration gives this pedophile limited immunity. Ghislaine Maxwell is, at the very least, a "groomer..." ... Anyone else remember when TRUMPERS were screaming about GROOMERS?!? Are they now going to support Trump if he pardons her or lessens her incarceration? GOP HYPOCRISY!

We have an exclusive piece from Bernice King as the government releases MLK assassination files www.vanityfair.com/news/story/b...

For all those minorities who voted for Trump & are NOW worried about their longterm status as Americans... ... I just don't know what to say. "You trusted the wrong sources," springs to mind first. We DID ring the alarms and spelled out the dangers of a 2nd Trump presidency. No one is safe now!

ICE is Trump's Gestapo! He's super charged ICE into the largest police force in the country with a $75B ICE expansion. They were not created to just deport people, but to do Trump's bidding without question. America is now a police state.

We all know Trump will do whatever he can to keep  Gullaine Maxwell quiet... ... sure makes you wonder about Epstein's sudden death! It's possible that Trump's Supreme buddies will bail him out again and overturn her conviction in the case she's bringing to them. She won't be allowed to talk.

A little boost for all of us who sometimes think that Trump always gets his way... ... share what he wants hidden!!!

MAGA supporters, suffering from Stockholm syndrome, swarm back to support Trump, ONE DAY after he called them "stupid people, foolish and dupes." THEN they prove him right by crawling back with slobbering loyalty, like beaten dogs whining for a pat on the head! Stupid people, foolish and dupes.

Occam’s Razor: "What’s the simplest explanation for Trump’s refusal to release any information about the Epstein files? What’s the most straightforward explanation for Trump’s far-fetched attempts at deflection, OR for his lashing out at supporters who aren’t obeying his instructions to shut up?"

"Israeli involvement in Syria’s sectarian clashes" reads a comment from Foreign Policy. Sectarian clashes??? You thought there was a little skirmish between sectarian groups? Israel f-ing bombed Damascus, the capital of Syria. Netanyahu is out of control!

"Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June from a year ago." I posted last month that we'd soon see if inflation was the reason Dems lost in the last election. If not inflation, then what? DJT is not losing support among half the voters... they LIKE the racism and cruelty. That's the only conclusion!

WHAT could go wrong???

The ‘Parasites’ and the ‘Good Immigrants’

Bishop Alberto Rojas of San Bernardino took the extraordinary step of formally excusing parishioners in his diocese from the obligation of attending mass weekly - because of the possibility immigration officers would seize people coming to or from church.

Is Trump's Gestapo only for deporting illegal immigrants? ICE is his secret police to threaten: Political opponents, peaceful protestors, & minorities. Remember: "First they came for the masons..." Then, people are hauled off to the concentration camps he's building. THIS is our biggest danger!

"The list of countries receiving the posted letters is a bit of a jumble....It could be that Trump had Scott Bessent spin a globe while his son Barron shot a paintball gun at it."

If your “leader” enjoys showing off concentration camps -you’re in a fascist cult. “We’d like to see them in many states,” Trump said. “And at some point, they might morph into a system where you’re going to keep it for a long time.”

THE SUPREME COURT is a rogue court, making rulings that predictors never thought our High Court would do: Overturn Roe, Rule the president IS above the law, Determine Trump CAN deport immigrants to countries they have no connection to... ... think they won't rule against Birthright Citizenship?

Trump hosted supposed moderate House Republicans trying to convince them to support his tax cuts for the rich, but multiple people said that the president appeared not to know what's in the bill. -JASON EASLEY open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

WATCH: “If Biden answered any Q like this can you imagine how long @jaketapper’s book would be?” Asked how long detainees will stay at “Alligator Alcatraz”, Trump spent 3 mins on how much time he plans to stay in Florida. The media didn’t even cover it. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DLoIPar...

Great thread exploring the roots of just one of Trump’s sadistic fantasies turned reality in Authoritarian US of America.

Instead of raising a principled objection to stop it from happening, Murkowski suggested she would try to work in the future to make the very thing she just allowed to happen less bad. That's...one approach.

America is in a fight that will last a generation or more. The speed of Trump's destruction of our free democracy will not be matched by the long slog to restore it. All three branches of gov't are aligned against democracy, and half the voters WANT "a daddy" to wield power over the country.🤨

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

My first thought upon hearing that the Supreme Court is allowing states to deny Birthright Citizenship to children born to undocumented residents... ... I thought of all the Latino Trump voters and asked myself: WHEN will they realize Trump doesn't want "your kind" here?

Watching Hegseth's performances reminds me of someone else seen on the world stage... ... oh, YEAH--> it's Bagdad Bob who kept repeating & shouting LIES, somehow believing if he said them often enough, & loud enough people would believe him! Nah. Didn't work then, won't work now. Bagdad Pete.

Anyone else stunned when DJT blurted out, at the end of his announcement about the bombing of Iran... ... “I want to just thank everybody &, in particular, God. I want to just say, we love you, God." ??? Ever heard a president talk to God in public, while boasting of a bombing attack? AWKWARD!

YEAH... what he said!

Assassination is a crime under international law, in times of war & peace. Yet, Netanyahu threatens to assassinate Iran's head of state, Ayatollah Khamenei. We just cannot look the other way if he does, just because we loath the Ayatollah. Bibi, like Trump, does not support the rule of law!

GOP exile, David Brooks, tells the truth about the Democratic Party! "If you’re thinking the Democrats’ job now is to come up with some new policies that appeal to the working class, you are thinking too small. This is not about policies." BE BOLD, DEMS!!!

America fought to be free from the first Mad King in 1775... and DIDN'T look back... ... and now we fight a Mad King again for our freedom that our Founders gave to us! NO KINGS!

MAGAs, including Elon Musk, are spreading false rumors that the assassinated Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota was killed in a plot hatched by DEMOCRATS and Governor Waltz!!!

So helpful to see the data on deportations. Being able to see Trump's tactics compared with previous presidents' puts the subject in perspective. Having the data on deportation success allows us to then ask the question... ... WHAT the hell is Trump doing, and WHY? It can't be good!

If Democrats ever regain the power to reform the Secret Service... ... The Trump-friendly agents MUST be purged!

Take to the streets. Make your voice heard. Show them how many of us there are. ... they can't arrest ALL of us!

I realize we're not supposed to say, "Hitler," but...

My first thoughts and sentiments EXACTLY! Same with the accusations of, "these protesters won't be ALLOWED to harm police." How 'bout, "they're INSURRECTIONISTS." OR, "I called in the National Guard." The irony is palpable.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

With Trump's Kim Jong Un-style military parade and his deployment of National Guard on the streets of L.A., he's clearly conditioning the American people to accept ... ... the sights of the military in the streets of our country. THIS IS A POLICE STATE!

TRUTH!!! Spread the word.

OMG, you guys... we are so f-ed! This culmination of right-wing goals, with Trump at the helm today, began decades ago when the GOP demeaned government & glorified "privatization." "The private sector & businessmen are better at running the government, & regulations are bad. Voters bought it.

We're toast. When a Conservative Supreme Court rules in favor of an administration that wants to access and collect private citizens' private data ... BIG GOV'T HAS ARRIVED! It can only get worse when Thomas and Alito resign and Trump appoints Aileen Cannon to the High Court!
