Oligarchs Vs All Of Us (Ongoing Graphic Novel). FOTUS & Fiends ban beloved children's show, Sesame Street. Instead, our tax dollars pour into new right-wing brainwashing sensation--MAGA Street. Jesse Watters and other white dudes guest star. #PreachingMAGAEnglish

Jesse Watters on the TV giving children existential dread.

Mega Church weirdo teaches English as a MAGA language by carving Jesus into a tree..

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

WTAF? It's time for responsible Republicans (oxymoron) to stop manipulating their unhinged fans.

This MAGA pyscho ran these girls down at 70 mph.

This is Trump's America, where sniper units are now aimed at ICE protestors, children are being dragged out naked and zipped tied, and people getting murdered in the name of Kirk.

What's next?

Just look at history.

Yeah. That seems like the actions of a senile dictator with nothing to hide. 🫠This is what happens when we elect mafia-adjacent tools who, in turn, corrupt our Supreme Court with wingnuts.

👏Chicago! Fight ICEholes everywhere.

A man carrying a sign that says Iceholes Are Fascist. A comic book picture of an Ice-esque figure bullying a citizen in authoritarian America. Land of the "free" and such.

It also reminds everyone not to trust anything coming from DHS. Verify the information independently as the @chicago.suntimes.com did here.

Same thing happened in LA, same thing happened in DC: prosecutors charged people with assaulting a federal officer and then furiously backpedaled when the evidence didn’t support it

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

No. A Temu uniform, some camo, and a mask does not meet the bar for legal identification of an officer.

Must be a warrant signed by the Judge (Adminstrative warrants aren't legal).
Must provide name and badge number.

If not it is attempted kindnapping.

By law you can defend yourself.
