Books, animals, films, the creative process. Somewhat contrary. Hate injustice. NY.
In a historically shocking moment, Trump says:

“I’m a dictator… but sometimes you need a dictator.”

The mask is off.

If you look at photos of #ICE, they almost look more military than our military. And if you Google photos of the #FSB in #Russia, they look identical, except for the nomenclature or the language on the patches.

On the campaign trail, Trump said “a vote for me means your groceries will be cheaper” & pledged to cut energy & electricity prices by half within a year.

Food prices are now rising at the fastest pace since 2022 & home heating bills have risen at double the rate of inflation.

62% of workers say their income isn’t keeping up with prices, and 1 in 4 households are living paycheck to paycheck.

Decades of employers suppressing wages so that owners could take home more of the profit is having an impact. Just 54% of Americans say they are satisfied with their wages.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

Trump is getting loonier, more dangerous, and more violent, underscoring Republican paralysis and cowardice. But as he decomposes, he winds up emboldening the public backlash, which, in the end, is what will stand between Trump and totalitarian control.

“These guys are like potted plants. They’re so afraid of Trump. He’s blowing up the NATO alliance. We have allies sending troops to Greenland, viewing us as an aggressor - and everyone here is silent. The Speaker says, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’”

Two members of DOGE working at the Social Security Admin were in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states.” One signed an agreement involved using SS data to match state voter rolls, the DOJ revealed in newly disclosed court papers.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.

📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

“Dear President Trump, listen very carefully. Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated country. It is not for sale.

Let me put this in words you might understand:
Mr. President, fuck off.”

One of Trump’s most frequently told lies is that other countries are paying for our tariffs. But a new study from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy makes it clear that’s a lie. American consumers and businesses are paying 96% of the tariff costs. Foreign exporters pay 4%.

#StephenMiller isn’t an elected official. Appointed by Trump, with a belief that Trump will pardon him for any crimes, Miller is insulated both from the rule of law and, crucially, from the will of voters.

The Republican congress members are not similarly insulated.
