Udderly surprising. (A little humor for the farmers) The only people who didn't understand this was going to happen, were the Farmers for Trump.

Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

It’s as if they never existed.

What did the government do to them?

Sorry, Marjorie: It Wasn't Antifa. It Was MAGA—and Everyone Saw It Live

I really didn’t want to have to do this because for a brief, fleeting moment, Marjorie Traitor Greene was actually behaving herself—a whole few days without a viral meltdown!

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 20h

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

This should outrage everyone. Mark Bray, Rutgers professor and antifascist expert, was doxxed and death-threatened by the far right. Even trying to flee to Spain, their travel was sabotaged. The U.S. is no longer safe for scholars—but thanks to support, he and his family are finally in the air, safe

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

Trump previously called Qatar a terrorist country. It's amazing what big gifts can do with a megalomaniac.

When the time comes, a more relevant Congress should write & pass a “Funds Restoration” bill to clawback pay of Members & 47-appointees who undermined our Constitution through their (in)action.

Nor should they accrue retirement and healthcare benefits funded by taxes from Jan 2024 forward.
