If this doesn't prove to you that a terrorist dictator has taken over the country, then you're in a coma.

Nothing is real to MAGA, that's what you need to understand. Everything can be true or false at any time, or even the same time, depending on what they need to believe in order to feel catharsis. They have created vast, insular social environments for the purpose of endless emotional indulgence.

It used to be that the FBI would monitor such groups to deter their activities. Now, the administration recruits them.

He does whatever he wants and MAGA don't care. With a weak and cowardly group of politicians in Congress, his destructive behavior has no bounds.

The hope is that Trumps unpopularity will eventually convince his enables to stop enabling him.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

Filipe Campante @filipecampante.bsky.social · 3d

I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

Look, give the guy credit. He's made it very simple. For Trump, lawful. Against Trump, unlawful. Who needs an old faded and torn Constitution that has lots of words in it?

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.
