Oh good. A male supremacist “influencer” and alleged rapist/trafficker of women and his equally problematic but less prominent bro are coming home. What could possibly go wrong as he “coincidentally” heads to Florida.

It's genuinely astounding how Trump's main thing is that evil foreigners are coming to the United States to rape white women and yet they pressured Romania to release a serial rapist so he could go to the US and rape women there

Yeah it’s pretty annoying when some of us worked for 10 years to prevent this that we keep being told we haven’t done anything to try and stop it. We did work really hard to stop it. Most of us were ignored, or written off as alarmist. We are still working rn to slow it down and fight back.

Tulsi Gabbard belongs to a cult with a long history of viscerally and publicly hating LGBTQ people. The fact that this is her first substantive act as an appointee is shameful and grotesque…but not surprising www.metroweekly.com/2025/01/tuls...

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

"I’m old enough to remember what happened the last time the GOP tried cutting healthcare to offset tax cuts for the rich. In 2018, they attacked the ACA. That November, they lost the House by the biggest margin in modern US history. That’s the sleeping giant they’ve awoken by attacking Medicaid."

New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign. They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-era-of...

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

I talked to a number of people about this last night. When I first heard about this Rufo's involvement itself was a huge red flag. Most news orgs ran with the idea that these were basically sex chats, and sex chats on company time and company chat areas. But from the start the descriptions were ...

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.

We're on the cusp of a quantum leap very much approaching in practical terms "the cure for cancer," and the official position of the US government will be you can't have it because a sex pest grifter thinks the vibes are bad.

I work at Fox News because its critical that Americans hear opposing viewpoints about the critical issues in our public discourse. Right now, Trump voters are having buyer's remorse. Approval ratings are down. Constituents are fed up. It's just the beginning.

Federal prosecutors are not the president’s lawyers. Prosecutors take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not to implement the president’s agenda faithfully. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

One reason Trump is doing this is bc Trump has failed to come close to meeting his deportation promises. If that were to become a bigger narrative--if the mob learned that he was diverting NatSec resources yet is falling behind Sleepy Joe Biden's deportation numbers--Trump'd be in trouble.
