"When conservatives destroy these public goods, it doesn’t necessarily lead to a Democratic backlash at the ballot box, and they see this as a long-term investment in a more ignorant population reliant on sources of information they can control — a docile population that can be easily manipulated."

Don't get in the van. If a masked stranger jumps out of an unmarked van and tries to force you inside without identifying themselves—it’s not law enforcement. It’s a crime. You are not obligated to comply. You have every right to protect yourself. Stay alert. Stay safe. Know your rights.

Trumpism is Nazism.

State of the Union:

BREAKING: Trump is already delivering on his promises! …Just not the ones anyone asked for. Empty shelves? He brought ‘em back — three years early. No pandemic, no crisis… just vibes and tariffs. Experts: “This will break the supply chain.” Trump: “Bet.”

I've put in significant effort to draft legislation aimed at preventing others from dying the way my mother did. After this legislative session, I have a meeting scheduled with my state representative to review the bill and work toward introducing it on the floor of the Illinois House.

New report: The Trump administration made secret moves to deport unaccompanied children — even when they had protections under U.S. law. The scale and secrecy of the program are staggering. Read more: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #immigration #humanrights #SaveTheChildren

When morality gets monetized and compassion is carved out of the budget, this is what passes for piety. If your policies hurt the vulnerable and call it righteousness, it’s not faith, it’s fraud. #WWJD #faith #gospelofgreed #christianity #MAGA

🚨 Abuse of power isn’t just behind closed doors anymore. It’s baked into the algorithm. We now know that Elon Musk is suppressing the Twitter views of women who won't let him rape and impregnate them. Why are we letting this guy walk around? #ElonMusk #BelieveWomen #MAGA

They have forsaken the Lamb and anointed a false king with a painted face. Now they seek to smite the unbelievers and silence the righteous with sword and chain. #CultOfTrump

Party like it's 1945.

There is always room in Piazzale Loreto, Elon. For those who appreciate satire and bold statements. Wear with pride! partner.spreadshirt.com/shop-area/16...

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

You can't export your sins to Trump. Trump can't ship your guilt to El Salvador. You can't deceive God. The piper will come for his due. #MAGA #neveragain #NeverAgainIsNow #christianity #Leftist

fter 45 years on this planet, I can count on one hand the number of Christians I've met who truly live by the ideals of the man they claim to follow. Not just the big things—love your neighbor, care for the poor, speak truth to power—but even the basic, everyday kindness and humility he embodied.

History doesn’t just repeat—it evolves. The cruelty, propaganda, and authoritarianism we’ve seen before are being repackaged and normalized in real time. The tools are more powerful, the reach is broader, and the stakes are higher. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s a warning. Look at your neighbors.

Over the past decade, Vladimir Putin pulled off the most devastating propaganda campaign in modern history. No bombs, no invasions—just psychological warfare. Division. Lies. A slow, surgical capture of the American government.

It's close to burn it all down time, folks. The Nazis (Republicans, they still call themselves) have infiltrated the systems that keep all of us alive and they are weaponizing them against us.

We're sick, but MAGA is laughing. They have lost their humanity.

Christian nationalists (AKA MAGA), you cannot export your sinning to Trump. Trump cannot export his sinning to El Salvador. You cannot trick God. You are all guilty as hell. And you WILL pay the piper.

Trump told us the plan today: The Trump administration wants the prison in El Salvador — and, perhaps, others — to hold Americans. Importantly, Vance, Rubio, and Bondi did not appear surprised or upset by this news — in fact, it did not appear to be news to them at all. This is the plan. Law Dork:

Democrats in majority: McConnell's minority has so much power that they can basically dictate the entire country's policy. Dems in minority: shit, you do it.

There are no longer any maningful distinctions between Nazis and Republicans. #MAGA

There are no longer any meaningful distinctions between the Nazi party of German history and modern Republicans.

Trumpism uses disaster the way Nazis used gas chambers. Not with precision, but with indifference. Not to target, but to abandon. Disaster is doctrine. #Authoritariansim

I have an idea. For all of you pathetic cowardly law firms that have donated $100 million to Trump's legal treasury, how about pro-bono of equal amount to those in the US who are illegally and unconstitutionally being rounded up by ICE and deported. Penance. There will never be enough.
