You’ll notice that the American state media are no longer concerned about age seeing as the orange felon is now nearly 80 years old and all they’ve been doing is normalizing his birthday dictator march. They have completely failed all of us as well as our democracy.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Make no mistake—this is petty retaliation because of the protests. After a record-breaking protest against Trump yesterday, and his $40 million ego parade flopped hard, he’s lashing out, targeting Democratic cities, ignoring the fact that red cities protested too.

Okay for me, but not for thee

ICYMI THIS LISTEN AND SHARE

For many years, ICE has focused its attention on people with some kind of interaction with the law enforcement system (statistically a low-level offense). Being fingerprinted gets people on ICE’s radar. Detaining people with clean records was a fairly low priority. Under Trump, that’s changed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests.

NEW: He didn’t like Pelosi. He didn’t like Tim Walz. He didn’t like Joe Biden. He DID like Alex Jones. He DID vote for Trump. He would be offended if anyone thought he was a democrat. wapo.st/45UNM4e

The bias is off the charts. Why doesn’t he include red states?They have illegal immigrants too. He is not America’s President. He’s only out for revenge on blue states that continue to pay the bill for red states. www.rawstory.com/trump-voices...

This is a harbinger of unrest; it blesses Stephen Miller’s decision to force ICE to hit insane quotas. The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not criminals, they are hardworking people trying to make a better life for their families with no way to ā€œfix their papers.ā€

Minnesota has the shooting suspect in custody.

BREAKING: Suspect in the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers taken into custody - KSTP

🚨

He's just instructed ICE to target Blue Cities only Red States can still use immigrants for jobs no one wants Is it starting to sink in for any of his voters? If you are not white, he wants you gone. Legal or not

As predicted, at the first sign of dissent or pushback, the dictator doubles down on his authoritarian directives. apnews.com/article/trum...

In the old (normal?) days, you'd be impeached for much less.

Lots of US Air Force Stratotankers (aerial refueling and strategic airlift aircraft) flying in the direction of the Middle East.

Trump’s ridiculous military parade wasn't about the troops. It wasn’t about patriotism, unity, or honoring the 250th anniversary of the US Army, regardless of flags waved or tanks rolling by. It was only about Donald J. Trump & hisĀ obsessive, delusional need to be worshipped. tinyurl.com/26nzhqun

Trump mad about no kings protest, will send more ice agents to blue states

Pete Hegseth is a good Christian cut from the same mold as Donald Trump.

Yes, Trump’s Tariffs are hurting šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø manufacturing — according to Manufacturers themselves

Sorry but I think I want to talk about your lame parade and the huge ā€œNo Kingsā€ turn-out for a couple more days.

Trump's administration has directed immigration officials to pause raids on farms, hotels, restaurants and meatpacking plants, Reuters reported on Saturday. If he goes to construction sites & landscaping businesses then those bosses complain will he pause raids as well? Just stop already!

apnews.com/article/trum...Ā  Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests. Stephen Miller is demanding 90,000 deportations a month. Look at the way Americans respond to the 207,000 deportations so far. Full scale revolution is on the way. #ProudBlue

They’re all pathological. 8,000 is the new 250,000.

Upon reflection, I really should’ve left the word ā€˜weird’ off.

This is what we get for ruining his birthday…

Stop and read this short informative and interesting 🧵 by @mattplavine.bsky.social regarding our democracy. It’s worth your time.

This is why your Fox News-watching relatives think half the country supports Donald Trump. Notice Fox doesn’t turn the camera to the crowd. šŸ‘€

We tried political pressure... we even said please. They refused... so we'll see you in court.

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

Trump declares war on cities ā€œWe must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Baseā€

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.
