This is North Korea level crap. It’s embarrassing.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

More of that free speech absolutism for which he is so renowned.

"I am the law." Hitler, 1942 "There is no law but the law of the people & the people are me." Gaddafi, 1975 "We have a constitution, but we must address the problems of the country first. The law is always behind when it comes to national survival." Bashar Al-Assad, 2011 Trump, 2025:

Yeah....no

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Republicans joining the War on Cancer on the side of cancer.

On point.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

So far, Trump has suggested taking self-determination away from: Ukrainians Palestinians Panamanians Canadians Greenlanders

Head of DOGE Elon Musk has received a new $38,858,978 government contract for his company SpaceX. Musk is self-determining his own conflicts of interest.

By “go into”, he means “get invaded.”

Super upstanding humans

Today the American president casually mused about ethnically cleansing and seizing sovereign territory to build hotels on it, and apparently that’s a normal thing we just sort of roll with now.

As a parent of two kids with special needs, I'm pretty damn excited to know that a racist billionaire who routinely uses the slur "r*tards" is destroying the federal department that's a bulwark for special education and support for disabled children.

Welp...dumb racist policies stirring up strife.

Yes - Thank you ABA

Be braver...say it out loud.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

As a woman and a mom of girls of color this in no way makes America better at all.
