Hell, its just hell to come.
Dreams showed us all descending, on a rollercoaster thats on fire.
The thing about hell, is you dont stop, you keep going, till you're out the other side.
I've done the hell walk before and in still here.

Mike Johnson says No Kings = Hate America. This just doesn’t add up.

I say Mike Johnson = Pervert and THIS equation adds up.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

Too bad it only benefits one American: a billionaire hedge fund manager, who has placed large bets on the future of the Argentine economy.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire

A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

ICE facilities should be abolished.

Until then, they should be forced to have glass walls.

If more people could see what’s being done to detainees, they would join the resistance.

Heartland Signal @heartlandsignal.bsky.social · 1d

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility:

"Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Portland Frogman used “spooky” hands and hip thrusts to make ICE agents retreat. Under that costume are huge muscles, watch video. An ICE asshole sprayed pepper spray into the air vent but Frogman continued in his costume another hour. Hero #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Idaho, just checking in "comrades" are you okay with Qatar military jets around your homes?

I don't think you are, but go ahead and chest thump for it and flag wave on with your bad selves..

America is Great Again, like when we allowed other foreign military bases on our soil before... remember?

Fly the flags upside down - it is an official meaning:

"Displaying the United States flag upside down carries a singular, officially recognized meaning: it is a signal of extreme distress or dire peril."

But of course, Trumpers already did that
www.npr.org/2024/06/03/n...

The upside-down American flag goes mainstream as a form of right-wing protest

The symbol, traditionally used by seafarers as a distress call, has been wielded as a bipartisan protest. But its most visible recent uses have taken a hard right political shift.

The more flags at these protests, the harder it'll be for them to get a shot of protestors without them. And that'll make their claims of the protestors being anti-American or America-haters look very, very goofy to everyday citizens who aren't as tapped in as we are to the truth.

My MAGA coworker who always loved Trump just lost a ton of money on a stock today right after Trump posted a China Trade tariff threat

He couldn’t access his account to sell right away and he lost 12k when he eventually could

He is officially done supporting Trump

Crazy it took this long

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Even Lara Loomer is breaking with Trump and Republicans over the Qatar base on US soil.

She states “I don’t think I will be voting in 2026. This is where I draw the line”.

When you start losing die hards like Loomer… you’ve gone too far.

The fascists don’t care though.

Because no one is safe.
