So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Trump: “I don't think we're gonna ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.”

What. The. Fuck?

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

If some group had tried to murder YOUR grandparents, would you be cool with someone having a tattoo of their logo? Would you accept that it was a "youthful mistake" or that they just didn't understand it? Would you let it slide bc you don't want to "alienate" people who don't think it's a big deal?

It is nothing new for Donald Trump to illegally raze a historical building.

It started with Bonwit Teller and has moved to the White House.

The regime is killing Virginia. Wittman keeps voting for it all.
- Hampton Roads (like NoVA) is *losing jobs* under Trump/Wittman
- VA’s growth is now among the lowest in the USA *and will stay that way through 2027*
- Unemployment is rising statewide and will keep rising in 2026
Wittman must act!

My neighbor, an American citizen, was detained by ICE yesterday. Guns in his face as he listened to their threats to break his car windows to pull him out.
I watched the video.
I heard the person recording it hyperventilate.

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Because there is no dispute as to Ms. Grijalva's election or qualifications, the Court should:
A. Issue a declaratory judgment stating that Ms. Grijalva shall be deemed a Member of the House of Representatives once she has taken the oath prescribed by law, see 5 U.S.C. § 3331;
B.
Issue a declaratory judgment stating that if Speaker Johnson has not administered
the oath, the oath may be administered to Ms. Grijalva by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of
Arizona; and
C. Award other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Do you guys really think we can reform this system through elections? In the face of intense wealth concentration, corporations treated better than humans, corrupt campaign finance, rising authoritarianism, increasing state violence, etc.? Really?
