We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Welcome to the fight. But to be fair, these are clearly performances not cabinet level meetings where the president conducts the nation's business.

Trump: "I will be a dictator on day 1." Americans 6 months after the election, "oh, he wasn't kidding about being a dictator." We are a truly dumb country. www.axios.com/2025/04/29/p...

as always when i talk about firearms: you shouldn't consider buying a gun if you struggle with suicidal ideation. 100% of you should take a stop the bleed course and have an IFAK you can carry. find such courses here www.stopthebleed.org/find-a-course/

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

We saw the storm brewing a mile away.

If this was done by an authoritarian state, how or what would look different?

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Every day the question, “If he was intentionally trying to kill people and destroy the economy, what would he being doing differently?” goes unanswered.

I am so over the media's framing of these kinds of issues. Who effing cares if the Trump administration wants to "make" Canada a state? The correct framing here is: "Is the United States' position that it will no longer be adhere to international law when it comes to Canada?"

I said it a couple of months ago, I'm going to repeat it: The courts aren't going to save us. The courts CAN'T save us.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Here’s an interesting thought: if a disabled veteran gets detained and sent to the Salvadoran prison. Does that mean technically that veteran isn’t incarcerated in the US legal system and continues to draw VA benefits? Last I read a vet loses VA compensation while incarcerated.

The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

"Three prominent critics of President Donald Trump are leaving Yale’s faculty — and the United States — amid attacks on higher education." yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/03... One of them is history professor Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social

One of the positive benefits of a functioning modern society is being able to utilize time, energy and resources that would be spent on survival preparations on life improvement. The Trump Regime has taken that away. We all have to act as the government is no longer there, because it's not.

Sending a Russian dissent back to Russia to be tortured and/or killed perfectly encapsulates this loathsome administration’s lack of American values.

When people say, "If we're not careful, America will fall into fascism," I respond: "Too late."

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

How do you know the US government is surrendering to Russia's demands? Putin has not made a single nuclear threat.

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

If not russian asset then why russian asset shaped

Let this sink in.

Send the asteroid.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."
