Launching a U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites seems incredibly safe for innocent civilians who happen to live anywhere in the Middle East.

Trump severed the U.S.-Iran deal that President Obama signed. Israel engineers a pre-emptive strike against Iran - breaking international law - in fear that Iran is "close" to a nuclear weapon. A weapon Iran has been "close" to making for two decades now. Trump launches U.S. strikes on Iran. Today.

The Bigot-in-Chief sent in the National Guard and Marines when local law enforcement held the #LosAngelesProtests in check. Which are mostly peaceful and justified. Trump swiftly deployed the military to LA. That picnic on #January6th was about love. No force at all. #GOP #MAGA #Republicans

In an ICE raid meant to break up "gang activity," "tax evasion," & "money laundering" 46 employees were apprehended in the Garment District. They were cleared to be in the U.S. and take legal work with Ambience Apparel. This started the #LosAngelesProtests www.latimes.com/california/s...

Republicans are empowering a dictatorial presidency and they're the party of small government. They fail to understand how spineless they are in their thirst to strip the country down to its infested foundation. #GOP #NationalGuard #LosAngelesProtests #Republicans #MAGA

When #Republican voters sat for world history courses in school and the subject of World War 2 was taught, they definitely weren't against the evil guy wrecking Europe and bringing the world to near-ruin. They thought to themselves, "He's got some ideas we could use." #GOP #MAGA

These ICE raids and arrests across the entire U.S. are repugnant. Even though the U.S. Constitution is now equal to feces stained 1-ply toilet paper, the right to due process covers ALL humans in the U.S. Hey, Trump voter, say you didn’t read and comprehend the Constitution since you ridiculously...

A March 2025 poll conducted by Israeli firm Geocartography Knowledge Group states that 82% of Israeli Jewish citizens want to expel Gazans - and 47% of Israeli Jewish citizens support killing all Palestinians in Gaza. This world is lost. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

So, Netanyahu can use deadly force to "take control" of #Gaza in view of the entire world? Everyone watches as #Israel destroys a neighbor and Netanyahu doesn't hide his country's goal of removing the population that the land belonged to? This is OK? The UN was created for this circumstance in 1945.

U.S. children: Maybe they'll have two dolls that'll cost their parents more than they previously would've. Trump: Has a $400 million dollar "gift" waiting in San Antonio, new branding deals across the Middle East, and a meme venture...as a sitting president. The U.S. #Constitution is toilet paper.

ICE can't detain and deport U.S. citizens from the country. It's illegal. It's happening. Now. Yet, 49.9% of you voted for this. Endangering the rest of the nation who do not want a president who's petty, indecisive, and covets authoritarians. The #GOP is complicit. All his enablers allowed this.

Did the media, scouts, teams, & fans show such scorn during the #NFLDraft when Archie Manning was directly involved with his sons' careers? Steering Eli to NY over SD? #Shedeur's dad, Deion, is problematic but Archie was only protecting his kids? This is not just about football.

Since the #Trump administration and the #FBI are upholding justice, can they clear the streets of the January 6th insurrectionists that were pardoned and actually committed crimes? And also return migrants, whether here legally or not, so they can receive due process under U.S. law? Thanks #MAGA.

It's quite apt that the #FBI director rushes to tweet about taking #Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan into custody. If you need to make the arrest on honest legal grounds, do it. Why broadcast it? He's throwing feed to #MAGA. Purposely. They don't question anything from their leader or his minions.

So, we're still ignoring how the #Trump administration handles anyone that doesn't fall in line? A healthy democracy never uses force, the FBI in this case, as an affront to the judicial system at large. This aims to put fear in the minds of judges and citizens. Which is the intent.
