This is what Columbia paid Trump shitloads of money for.

Can confirm.

With the GOP led by Donald Trump and filled with rising stars like Matt Gaetz, some party insiders are suggesting that JD Vance will need to add more pedophilia to his background in order to secure the 2028 nomination.

What an honorable company for my book The Questions of Bruno to be in! Thank you, Ashraf Zagal! debutiful.net/2026/02/06/a...

The people who voted for Trump and GOP did not do it despite his racism, but because of it. That was the platform: fully restoring white supremacy. That is what they wanted. Don't let ass-wipe polls and ass-wipe columnists fool you. So fuck them all in perpetuity.

ICE Agent Scores Easy Win By Deporting Own Family

Dear Liberals, No, you don’t ever, ever have to forgive or forget what Trump voters have done. They can beg forgiveness and never get it and that’s ok. These people brought you mass ‘detention centers’ and government agents murdering citizens in the streets. Not ok. They can burn in hell. - God

There is no hope until Schumer, Jeffries and their ilk are gone. They are outright collaborators.

Suozzi voted for ICE funding last week and issued a preening self-congratulatory press release afterwards bragging about bucking the Dem Party on the vote. FAFO.

Hey, I've got a poem in The Common Online!

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

ICE etc got a lot of this power and funding because Democrats (Obama, Biden and Clinton) are afraid of being called soft on policing and immigration by the right and now Trump has weaponized it. There’s a clear lesson here about standing up for shit instead of cowering to racists and fascists.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

My kind, beekeeping cousin in Canada.

The GOP is a party of American Nazis. There are no good Republicans. Whichever elected Republicans do not quit the American Nazi Party tonight and become independents are, well, fucking Nazis.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Under the leadership of @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov the Dems are outright collaborators.

The idiotic Dems don't understand that the ICE terror is a rehearsal for the midterm elections, and all the subsequent elections, if there'll be any. Ice will terrorize places, spaces, cities, voting sites, everywhere. The morality of pussyfooting around ICE aside, it is politically suicidal.

Collaborators! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov

They voted for ICE. But know that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social let them do that, because Democrat leadership is collaborating.

I am a passionate soccer fan, but this World Cup is already a travesty. It is either be a propaganda event for Trump, the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize, or it is going to be an all out fiasco irreparably damaging soccer as a game. Probably both. I'm not watching it.

Our Head of the State.

The people of Minnesota give us hope that we can overcome the violence and cruelty of MAGA fascism.

NEW: The House just passed the DHS funding bill. Seven Democrats voted yes: Henry Cuellar of Texas Jared Golden of Maine Laura Gillen of New York Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington State Don Davis of North Carolina Tom Souzzi of New York Vincente Gonzalez of Texas

Send those motherfuckers packing. Scum!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social This is your work, you collaborating motherfucker!

NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207 7 Democrats voted YES on the bill: - Jared Golden - Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - Henry Cuellar - Tom Suozzi - Laura Gillen - Don Davis - Vicente Gonzalez One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

With the Democrats totally incapacitated by their cowardice, stupidity, and outright collaboration, and the Republicans a crazy fascist party, American political system is effectively moribund. What is left is people on the streets, driven by solidarity and outrage vs. the regime bent on violence.

the average minnesota mom has done more to fight donald trump than almost the entire senate democratic caucus

My 14 year old (with some special needs) takes a whistle whenever she leaves the house to warn people, because "you never know when ICE might turn up." She also worries about me because I was not "from this country."

The moronic Dems unison messaging about cost of living while immigrants, black and brown people are being hunted indicates that they continue to believe their main and most important constituency are whites. It is the same old Clintonite triangulation shit. Whatever you do, please the white suburbs.

My favorite Chicago bookstore!

It's allways been obvious to many of us from the Balkans where trumpism was heading. But not to those who indoctrinated by the narrative of American greatness and the checks and balances bullshit. From February 2016. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

They're gunning for martial law. Our feted men and women in uniform, paid by our tax dollars will continue to kill us.

The Republicans are a Nazi party. But the Dems are idiots to the point of outright collaboration.

ICE was established in 2002 by Homeland Security Act. In Senate the vote was 90-9. In the House it was 295-132. Overwhelmingly supported by the Dems. Many of whom are outraged by what's happening now. The American political class is a bunch of idiots and sociopaths, all patriots.

The trumpist violence is the essence of their project. The idiot Dems and NYT and such invested far more in denying the possibility of such an outcome then preventing it. The date of this piece, May 2020. theintercept.com/2020/05/02/t...

This is a civil war. One side has all the weapons and uniforms. The other has midterms. Whaddya think is going to happen?

Who are they going to believe? Their own eyes? That ain't both-sides, objective journalism.

Saw Marty Supreme. Spectacular, funny, smart, the Chalamet boy having a time of his life. Still, yet another movie about an American male sociopath, bread in capitalism, whose exclusive course to redemption is success, necessitating demeaning + defeating others, preferably women and foreigners.

The Greenland thing is not lunacy or stupidity. It would blow up NATO and establish the hemispheric division, leaving Europe to Putin. It is what a Russian asset would do as per instructions from Moscow.
