It seems obvious that Trump and his goons would not be taking such outrageous steps on so many levels if they expected to ever face consequences. Waiting for an election to fix this is not going to work. Trump will either cancel elections or set them up so that he cannot lose.

Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol. Hundreds of dangerous felons who brutally beat police officers with impunity were then pardoned by the President on his first day in office. Don’t ever lecture America about law and order.

BREAKING: NPR reports that 96,000 adults and 200,000 children have already died because of Trump's & Musk's destruction of USAID. Immoral. Illegal. And. Inhumane. 😎✨

"There are protests, your majesty." "Good," said the Emperor. "What are they protesting?" "Grain prices. But why are protests good?" "What would you call a society with no protests?" "Happy, your majesty." "I would call it oppressed. Prepare a report on their grievances."

Remember how Japan was able to take out a huge number of boats when they bombed Pearl Harbor because all the boats were clustered together in 1 port? Yeah, that’s how I think about the fantasy some folks have of all the Jews moving to Israel. All you’d need is a couple nukes & boom, no more Jews.

When this antisemitic vandalism in Paris happened last weekend, I saw a lot of people online blaming Muslim immigrants and/or pro-Palestine protesters. Turns out it was Russia, wanting people in France to blame those groups to feed support for the far-right. www.france24.com/en/france/20...
