Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama top the charts for murder rates—all red states—yet no federal troops storm their streets. Funny how “law and order” only shows up where it’s politically convenient. Where’s the crackdown when it’s your own backyard?

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!......

TACO emulates Stalin’s Regime-made famines with ICE serving as his NKVD.

A lot of homeless people don’t have documentation… whether they’re citizens or not. I’m very worried about a lot of them being unjustly detained or deported by ICE and not having anyone to help

JD Vance jets 2K miles for hush-hush meeting with Rupert Murdoch https://twp.ai/4ioONO

Asked about the tens of millions of dollars the event is going to cost taxpayers, Fischer walked into a nearby Senate elevator and gazed into nothingness as the doors closed. huffpost.com/entry/gop-senators-trump-military-parade-cost_n_6849b95de4b0cf5f0c9ad0ab

Exactly. Dividing the military into opposing cliques is a toxic path to civil war. It’s happened before.

Braxton Bragg, for whom Kegsbreagh renamed Ft. Bragg, is on brand. Considered among the worst generals of the Civil War, he was so nasty that his own men tried to kill him twice during peacetime - BEFORE he left the US Army to be a traitor Historians agree his incompetence shortened the war.

Trump's global leadership flops as Pew survey shows allies like France and Germany have zero faith in him. Tariffs and climate snubs fuel the distrust. True strength lies in collaboration, not isolation. #3E

This is seriously criminally irresponsible, although in fairness a kid out of his depth would be conveniently malleable.

Springsteen is our Shakespeare.

I remember when when the ‘pro-vaccine cohort’ included everyone except that one family in which the dad delays wore a tin foil hat. I think he might have been a Kennedy.

SAY IT LOUDER

Has there ever been an American president who can stir the entire world to action like this?

I thought TACO didn’t believe in magnets? It the one deeply held belief he shares with the the Insane Clown Posse.

All hail the mighty drag queens!

Nice data point.

Ok but what happened to the polite, Canadian “respectfully, go fuck yourself. Sorry.”

Don’t forget “Make no mistake!” What mistake? It telegraphs incoming bullshit.

Well this is horrifying

Exactly This! Pete is fast on his feet and smarter than the average bear. Immediate pushback throws off the knuckle draggers. Calling their lies in real time is powerful.

It sucks to be part of history.

Seattle’s treating ICE like they did the World Bank. The memories . . .

Did Stalin and Mao use this much fencing to kept their parades safe from the people?

Guess what DC structure will be converted into the next National Guard barracks?

@PBS News Trump did that. Why is this not newsworthy? Imagine if literally anyone other then the Grifter in Chief took bribed from drug lords? WTW?

I’m reading When Paris Went Dark - the City of Light During the German Occupation. It reinforces that 1/3 will be us, 1/3 our neighbors and family, and 1/3 everyone else - and who is good, a betrayer or a victim, can change at the drop of a hat. We must fight off such darkness.

it’s sign-making day for the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social. There’s two days left in our contract, and we’re ready to strike if management isn’t willing to agree to a fair deal.

Send them all to Alabama.

Angelinos should consider community BBQs and pizza cook offs to feed THEIR National Guard. It’s humane, the troops will love it, and it may give the upset the TACO in Chief so much he’ll have the big one and be delivered to his just reward.

At this time and place it is crucial for us live and move in the present if we are to have the future we were promised.

Wow.

This is one of the most important things we can do. If this goes away, those responsible should be stuffed into the next plane to Moscow

Luv this guy. he had me since: Gov. at state fair: Would you like a hot dog? Daughter: I’m a vegan dad. Gov: Okay, turkey then!

According to the authoritarian wannabe dictator who deployed these men, “LA is burning”. It’s not. He's the one rubbing two sticks together to try start a fire. Don't believe the narrative. Remain clear-eyed and share the truth. 🌸🌺🌻 ❤️&🙏🏼 for LA This moment of ☮️ by 🎥 @saroal on TT

Good grief. Did DOGE fire the lawyers who used to do the actual lawyer stuff? Do we have standing to sue these lawyers for practicing without a discernible skill set?

👍👇🏻

My god.

Terrifying…

Dr Phil and Jake Tapper are both lower than the My Pillow guy.

When someone like Vindman is saying this, things are dark. He’s not posting 4th hand information. Don’t consult your hope when assessing what’s up ahead. It will lead you astray. Base your plans on reality.
