Supporting Putin over Ukraine is a position with single digit support limited to the most fringe of far-right freaks, and it is the official policy of the United States because that's who controls the government.

It ten years, we went from “banning trans people from the bathroom is worth a national boycott involving PayPal, Deutsche Bank, and the NBA” to Gavin-fucking-Newsome endorsing the policy on a podcast with a proud fascist. There is SERIOUS moral rot in the Democratic Party. We gotta clean house.

I agree that the Democrats desperately need to pay attention to how Zelenskyy recognized that groveling and moderation get you nowhere with the fascist demons squatting in the White House right now.

Rick Scott, who took the 5th 75 times when he was investigated for Medicaid fraud, says AOC “should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” for advising people of their rights: “We took an oath to uphold the constitution, not to tell people how to evade the constitution.”

The NBA pulled the 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte because of North Carolina’s bathroom bill. Michael Jordan spoke out against the bill, as did Charles Barkley. This was less than a decade ago, and, come to think of it, same president in office.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Tech infrastructure is invisible so we can’t see what is happening. But if we could, it’s like dismantling & changing the railways in the early 1900s at the peak of their power. They are changing where funding goes, how it flows, who drives it, but no one can see it. www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I was going to call this an insane prediction, but honestly nothing surprises us anymore at this point... Trump steps down seconds before the SOTU, Vance steps up and immediately pardons him unilaterally, and then gives a speech that triggers the start of what becomes a civil war in the streets.
