I’m actually really glad the anti-trans Republican candidate lost in Nebraska the very same night after a bunch of Very Serious People people spent all day “yes, yes, Dems need to be serious about moderating on social issues to win”-ing across the internet.

Y'know, I generally believe in free trade but it's not great to see that after Trump somewhat lowered his tariffs a bunch of supposed "journalism" outlets went back to relentlessly lying on Trump's behalf. You don't have to do that and you shouldn't do that. It doesn't help anyone, it hurts us all.

One thing to remember: beating the fascists isn't enough. It should be obvious now that the liberals paved the way to this moment. Biden also fell to the immigration scam, and here we are. Among the billion other reasons, the core is they stand for nothing except their own power. Fascism lite.

If true, I am concerned b/c: (A) the Copyright Office is legislative agency so a DOGE Quick Strike Team has no authority; and )B) while Pres. Trump had the authority to fire the Librarian of Congress he does not have the authority to appoint under the Vacancy Act.

I posted a TikTok video about Trump accepting the Qatari 747 as a gift and TikTok’s AI-driven Creator Studio had an interesting suggestion on how to increase engagement

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as Air Force One Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

Sadly, this is not new! CBP for many decades routinely confiscated any medication migrants had on them and toss it in the trash. It was a part of our lawsuit against the Tucson Sector BP in 2015.

Let’s be clear. Stephen Miller is likely “actively looking at” chopping people up with an ax for fun, too, so the real question is: “Why does Stephen Miller want this particular headline right now?”

Broken Record: You cannot sustain a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.

Let’s talk about Trump’s “Strengthening and Unleashing Law Enforcement” EO. There’s a lot of analysis out there on the possibility of this being a prelude to the Insurrection Act and trying to suspend Posse Comitatus, but there’s not much on what I consider the bigger threat.
