This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

America, in no logical way does your future belong to a 78 y.o. man who will not live to see it, but he’s destroying it anyhow. What sort of entitlement is that, and what sort of stupidity is it of us to allow it? This has got to end sooner rather than later.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

Trump’s Inaugural address was ego driven, long on boasts, & short on detail. No outreach for help to Democrats or Congress. His rhetoric won’t make groceries, rent, or prescriptions more affordable. His tariff gimmick taxes American families. Delivering a speech is easy, getting results is not.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

After launching the effort to ban TikTok in 2020, Trump will now take credit for eventually saving it, and TikTok is going along with it

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine
