The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

these are the kind of things that happen when you have an out-of-control narcissist in the oval office just winging it on advice from his ignorant and incompetent clown cabinet.

If the United States is preparing to join a direct attack on Tehran, that is madness. If we aren’t, publicly signalling that we are likely to is also madness.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Trump’s ugly plan is clear: Incite violence in blue cities & blue states only, and then put the military on the streets in those blue cities & blue states only. Everything he does is meant to divide us. He is the absolute worst of us.👇

No Kings proved resistance isn’t fading - it’s rising. Trump has tried to project inevitability, to make resistance seem futile. No Kings shattered that illusion.

A huge amount of catastrophic policy right now is being driven by the fact that Stephen Miller grew up in Santa Monica and was furious when a life change pushed him into a school district where he had to share a classroom with Hispanic kids he despised. This is his revenge tour.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

“against President Trump’s policies” feels like a lazy description of nationwide protests against his authoritarian pretensions.

submitted 12 days ago • 63 comments

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Welcome to folks who followed me lately from the parade thread. Fair warning -- this account is mostly just sporadic pretty park pictures and nerdy CCC history.

The Department of Defense has confirmed that U.S. Marines detained a civilian—reportedly an Army veteran who crossed a yellow tape boundary on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs. This is an apparent violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. 1/16 www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Food for thought. I honestly hadn’t given the route a lot of attention. My best guess is that the person/committee that planned the route went with what was easiest logistically. Though ending at the WH was probably directed.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.
