I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Our review of 700+ videos of the Portland protests shows a wide gap between the reality on the ground and the characterizations by Trump, Fox News and DHS, which said its office in the city was under “coordinated assault by violent groups.”

What Really Happened in Portland Before Trump Deployed the National Guard
In the two months before Trump’s decision, criminal charges were announced against only three people. On nights when physical conflict did erupt, it often came from police firing on, shoving, pepper-s...

ICE is the federal backdoor for underqualified badge-seekers: no degree, light screening, no months of field training. Intelligent people don’t sign up. It’s DEI for body temp IQs— armed mediocrity with a pension, built by design.

The thoughts flatline, the words bleed out and leave static in their place. The air hums with too much noise pretending to be truth. I fall silent, watching the fact carriers throw lifelines into the muddied waters. Grateful for the bastards that try to keep the world round.

The White House is Trump’s casino now. The wrecking ball swings… Not for expansion, but for erasure. Each shattered brick is a norm, a law, a precedent. He doesn't see history, only a venue lacking shiny gold. The dust is the ghost of the Republic, and he won’t even sneeze.

Bolton’s indicted for leaking secret notes while Trump just bragged about authorizing CIA ops in Venezuela. While I’m stuck pretending I didn’t get top-secret postcards from Hegseth (I can neither confirm nor deny this).

It’s Trump’s shutdown as Bella and I watch the shelves empty while the USDA buries the nation’s hunger report. Perfect timing as seven million women and kids are about to lose WIC. No data, no outrage, no food. This isn’t government—it’s fucking starvation dressed as— well starvation.
The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking

Driving by Mar-a-Lago, my driver slowed down amazed. Trump was pointing at a roadkill on the asphalt and christened it road pizza. JD Vance tears off the first bite, then offers the rest to the GOP like a holy sacrament. He checks his eye liner and wipes his chin: Please, sir, may I have some more?

We were warned: Dice Medicaid & rural hospitals bleed. Trump gutted them, tossed coins in a golf course coffin, and Marshall whines like the knife’s not in his hand, the corn cob not up his…, the blood not in his coffee.
One thing about living in DC I never could stomach… all the damn vampires.

Hegseth’s “warrior ethos” and preaching no beards, while wearing more makeup than a Studio 54 drag queen. Great days of glory when the mirror ball shined a thousand points of light, pink boas flying, lashes sparkling. He’d have been drinking cocktails and chasing… well… lines.

Bella glued ANTIFA stickers on the White House walls while Bondi cried like a chastised child, Trump howling orders, Homan weighed down w/ $50K in greasy bills, and the FBI strangled. The whole thing buried alive in bitcoin, a digital coffin for a justice system rotting in the sun on RFK Jr’s hood.
