Book shelf. Brick collection.

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer

See the difference? 🤨

Remember when the story broke about a worm eating part of his brain and nobody was that surprised?

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

MAGA cultists are like hypnotized sheep following their Dear Leader.

The only reason to not list the tariffs separately is if the business has no intention of lowering the price after the tariffs are reduced or eliminated.

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

This is correct from @joeweisenthal.bsky.social

STOP normalizing and repeating their dangerous, rhetoric! The 238 Venezuelans were NOT deported. They were illegally abducted. “Suspected gang member” Being a gang member alone is not a crime. And “suspected” by whom? Detention centers are concentration camps. ICE is America’s Gestapo.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

REMINDER: Social Security has a fraud rate of 0.00625%, which is far lower than private sector retirement programs.

Yet their cuts to the IRS will cost ~500B in revenue

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Someone said yesterday that America are the cause of most of the world’s problems and it’s true and has been for at least a century

One of the most amazing things about the tariff rollout was that they used (at least) three mutually exclusive arguments to justify them and everything they've done since the initial rollout has proven a different one of them false

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

They arrested and scrutinized Luigi for state terror and murder charges, when the evidence didn’t even line up— while they proudly invite Netanyahu, a genocidal monster, to the White House. This makes perfect sense, if you’re an absolute psychopath.

Protesters hold a 200-foot long banner with the names of all those killed by Israel since the genocide began

Watch out for feds/outside agitators at the protests.

Project 2025 have banned our government agencies from using these words among others. “greenhouse gas emissions,” “methane emissions,” “sustainable construction,” “solar energy" “runoff,” “microplastics,” “water pollution,” “soil pollution,” “groundwater pollution,” www.yahoo.com/news/agricul...

Religious cults that push the concept of “virginity” & teach children to intertwine their worth with sexual “purity” are grooming children to be easy victims who will keep their assaults a secret out of fear of being considered “impure” & unlovable. These religions serve molesters & rapists.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

KIDS TREATED WITH BOBBY'S PROTOCOL ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF LIVER DAMAGE. High doses of Vitamin A and cod liver oil being given over an extended period of time is causing toxicity in some Texas children with measles. In most cases it was given to avoid vaccination. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/h...

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
