Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Perfection.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

If your city is destroyed in a hurricane this year, the United States will be too poor to help you rebuild. But if your city is trying to rebuild a democracy with peaceful protests, we have MILLIONS to deploy men with weapons to destroy you.

Similarities between ICE & the Gestapo

Trump deploying ICE and then the national guard to attack US citizens to cover up stories about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein isn't the first time he's pulled this move. June, 2020 vs June 2025.

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

When you want Americans to be arrested for helping America's allies fight America's enemy, that can only mean one thing: You are one of America's enemies.

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave. And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether. The GOP can't stand the will of the people.

Big dog problems. #AGoodPlace

Systemic protections and guardrails are essential to a functioning society. Nature understands this even if oligarchs don't.

Accurate..

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

Oh.

#GVerse #BreakingNews: In a shocking development, it has been revealed that the White House is deleting ALL of the #OrangeBuffoon's Transcripts, especially those that have damning proof of his rapid cognitive decline. This needs to be a bigger story. This is ILLEGAL! #ImpeachTrump Repost...

ChatGPT weighs in: America still calls itself a democracy. Reality disagrees.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Russia: Putin planted a Russian spy posing as a translator sent by the US embassy in Moscow for Witkoff's latest meeting in the Kremlin in April. She is from SVR - Russia's foreign intelligence.

🤔Yep. Feb. 28 2018: President Trump boasted on Twitter: "Were blown away..." July 2024: Trump's Truth Social and Facebook posts stated, "I know nothing about Project 2025" Sept. 2024: During a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump asserted "I have nothing to do with Project 2025."

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens. Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Trump is taking money from the Middle East and 2016 Trump is PISSED

Amazing stuff

After that last nasty video, let's try something that tells a lot about human character. #USDemocracy

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

If you ever wondered what malignant narcissism + megalomania + congenital lying + substance abuse + greed + cognitive decline + 4 hair transplants + orange makeup + heel lifts in an ill-fitting suit looks like, now you know.

The US dismantled most Covid wastewater testing to save money, yet Texas wants to test water for birth control, abortion pills & hormones associated with gender affirming care. This is an assault on reproductive rights & another move towards a surveillance state Via @jessicavalenti.bsky.social
