Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

On 5 November 2025, SCOTUS will hear an appeal concerning Trump’s illegal use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify his tariffs, endangering his financial base with $80 billion and a total risk of $750 billion at stake.

As if we needed any more proof. Pam Evil Bondage went full on radical right when asked if there are pictures of Trump with nude teenagers. You would think an emphatic “NO” would have been the case.

The MAGA pedophile party continues.

Inciting violence who are peacefully protesting is meant to do three things:

1. Silence the people and create fear in us.

2. To invoke the insurrectionist act to keep us from continuing to peacefully protest.

3. To cancel the midterms and the general election in 2028.

He’s absolutely right! We don’t jail officials because they disagree with another official’s policy decisions.

As for the President’s authority, he is a dictator and it ends there!
This is definitely a hill on which we can defend The Constitution and Republic!

Rep. Jamie Raskin @raskin.house.gov · 5d

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Is Tennessee ready for a progressives resurgence? It could be. Rep Justin Jones is challenging entrenched Rep.Stephen Cohen who holds the only Democratic House seat in the state Cohen is progressive but is part of the Dem establishment. Jones has a great shot at winning the Memphis seat #ProudBlue

Is pedophilia a Conservative Republican thing?

The natives don’t seem to think so.

Asking as an intelligent being who just landed on earth.

Why isn’t it obvious to you?

We need to stop ignoring the evil right in front of us.
