Dragging children from their beds into the streets and showing their unclothed bodies to the world is an ICE activity. They did it in Oklahoma. They did it in Chicago. Republicans endorse this behavior by their silence.

This is right wing political violence happening all across our country. This person is a city Alderman, simply asking if the ICE agents have a signed judicial warrant for their arrest of another person. Elected officials have the right and duty to conduct oversight.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Don’t let them make you forget that state violence is political violence.
Don’t let them make you forget that crime committed by the government is still crime.
Even though the government and the media does not count these things, it’s important that WE do.

Weirdo Trump posted an AI video set to Blue Öyster Cult‘s (Don’t Fear) The Reaper with himself and JD Vance as musicians and Vought as “the Reaper” (the angel of death)

So, the obvious interpretation of that is that Trump, Vance and Vought are in a love triangle suicide pact and MAGA is a cult.

Hilarious that Sousa’s “the Liberty Bell” was played between Kegsbreath and Orange Foolious. The surviving members of Monty Python must be rolling with laughter.

Kegsbreath tried to sound so tough in his speech. He really tried. Bless his heart.

Just saw the TPUSA memorial referred to as “Kirkchella” on another social media platform and it has me dying.

Charley could have learned that, had he not been singularly focused on destroying America.

“There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.
– The Charlie Kirk Show, 6 July 2022”

In reality, it was made up by a Puritan Minister and attorney, fFounder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams.

Hey Trump, actually, Amish people get vaccines, although at a lower rate than the general population. They also have autistic people in their communities, although diagnosis and identification rates are lower.

Lol.

Anyone who knows their WWII history liens what they are hearing when they listen to that speech.

“We are the ones who build, we are the ones who create” is a white nationalist talking point. “You can build nothing, you can create nothing” is also something white nationalists claim about non-whites. There is no escaping it.if it wasn’t ment to be a white nationalist rally, then they failed.

Some people doubt that whenever Stephen Miller talks about the inevitable triumph of “light over dark” he is talking about white people “winning out” over non-white people. Think about it, he cites “our lineage” as being those who built the cities and cultures of Greece and Rome and Europe.

How do we have a president who can’t read the word acetaminophen?!?

It isn’t hard to be better than Trump. But you know what would be really cool, is if you corporate democrats could maybe stop shitting on progressives when they are the ones that actually connect to voters?

What a ghoulish, macabre display.

You can’t simultaneously align with Martin Luther King Jr. and Charlie Kirk. Not without significant cognitive dissonance, or ignorance of what they both stood for.

If you really honestly assess what they did with their lives, you have a choice to make.

Watching Schiff on YouTube “both-sidesing” political violence at Center for American Progress - he’s so tepid and timid. Describing the problem, and then saying “We have to keep doing the things we’ve already been doing.” It’s pretty meh.

This is how weird our world is. Gary Busy is on trial for sex offenses, and it didn’t even make the news anywhere I watch.

Clearly, no media executives ever went to public school. Guys, if you give the bully your lunch money, they will back tomorrow for your lunch money and your Knight Rider Trapper Keeper, and if you give them that, they will be the next day for your lunch money and your brand new Chuckie Ts.
