So, why is the Trump Administration gifting Argentina $20 billion dollars for “infrastructure” when Natives on the Navajo Nation Reservation must have water trucked in because reservation water is polluted from decades of non-Native mining?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

I’m not really sure what to say, but if this unhinged lunatic is allowed to remain president after posting this, we are truly lost as a nation. Not only is this video vile, racist and immature, it’s totally unpresidential. Having this clown as our POTUS is beyond EMBARRASSING. FFS use the 25th!

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

I'd like to know why there's been a list made public of elected Dems who called trump a fascist, but no Epstein list of pedophile clients who raped little girls made public. That's insane.

Thessalonians says The Rapture will be kicked off when “the trumpets shall sound.” Trumpets in Biblical times were more like today’s trombones. So, we trombonists should all go outside this morning (23 Sept), play loud and proud, and make the Evangelicals disappear! 😎 defector.com/why-is-every...

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

And of course, despite Trump’s repugnant & mindlessly inappropriate speech, the audience cheers and Charlie Kirk’s widow embraces him like a god on stage. This is peak cult. Trump can insult and upstage a murdered man and his wife at the man’s own memorial, and still be hailed as a divine saviour.

Minutes before Trump bragged that he "HATES" his opponents, Charlie Kirk's grieving widow said she forgives her husband's killer and called for love for his opponents. Unfathomably grotesque for Trump to deliberately and explicitly contradict her at her own husband's memorial service.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.
