No matter their race, creed, ethnicity, or immigration status, your neighbors are not - and never have been - your enemy. The villains in the American story have always been the wealthy and powerful interests seeking to turn you against your neighbor in order to maintain their place at the top.

James Carville is one of the only political operatives who even remotely has a clue of what the fuck is going on.

Dear Americans, The only way anything ever gets better is for all the spoiled morons of America to suffer the consequences of their own vile, stupid, hate-filled plans. They may destroy the Department of Education but in time they will learn that pain is a wonderful teacher.

Lucky for him, he still has the treasury to rob.

"Strikes at the core of the First Amendment": AP sues Trump admin over Gulf of Mexico spat: The president has booted the outlet from certain events until it uses his preferred term for the Gulf of Mexico

Per Trevor Reed: “Ukraine needs to: 1. Ignore the US completely and refuse all US/Russia negotiations 2. Push for Europe to release frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine 3. Make a deal with Europe for continued support 4. Get European troops on the Belarusian border to free up their forces”

Walked into a Safeway this week and suddenly every shelf has flags beside products, the mid-00s pop cuts out, the intercom blares: "Look for Canadian flags on our shelves and choose products made in our backyard to show your pride" followed by the first thirty seconds of the national anthem.

An inmate on South Carolina's death row has chosen to die on March 7 by firing squad, his lawyer says.

‘You do not treat people in this manner’: Alaska Sen. Murkowski condemns Trump firings, other acts, reports Corinne Smith, @corinne-smith.bsky.social, of @alaskabeacon.com: alaskabeacon.com/2025/02/21/y...

It’s a cult.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

"Why is the media so against cutting waste, fraud and abuse from the government? I don't get it."

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

They are preparing the polarization/destabilization of Britain. After all, Musk and Tate are good friends.

Tonight was Day 82 of our continuous protests against the Russian dictatorship in Georgia. #GeorgiaProtests 📷 MOSE

Yes, indeed it is, #united ❤️

The very vulgar anti-regime chant was sung as we burned the effigy of the violent police chief Zviad Kharazishvili AKA Khareba on the dictator's birthday. #GeorgiaProtests

Indoctrination since 2022. FBI director nominee Kash Patel author of “The plot against the King” Take good care of yourselves! Hope to see you back! America

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head. They’re not even hiding it.

SpaceX debris is becoming an increasingly significant safety threat "This is the fourth incident recently with a SpaceX Falcon which is causing concern. It looks like glitches like this engine failure are becoming more common" www.bbc.com/news/article...

NEW: Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director by Senate by 51-49 margin.

Uprising in 🇷🇸 #Serbia, and student protests that started it all, are our LAST chance to save our children and following generations from a regime that would gladly sacrifice them to Russia as a canon fodder! Once we regain our freedom, we must purge our country from crime and colonial agents.

Some of the usual chants at the #GeorgiaProtests: “Until the end!” “The end of winter is coming - the people’s spring is arriving!” “Georgia, revolt!” “We won’t stop, schedule the elections!”

In other words, "dictatorship".

As suspected, Gitmo was all for show and an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars.

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

Amen to that.
