The part around his neck is blue, then the rest of the pattern goes white blue red, just like the Russian flag. If you start from the bottom, it’s red blue white just like if you start at the bottom of the Russian flag.

Everything we are suffering from is volitional.

Our entire population could be housed, fed, & have health care.

We could be meaningfully combating the climate crisis.

Instead we are zip-tying children, immolating our vaccine system, & doing everything to protect a child rapist.

So the argument for sending US troops into cities to be used against Americans is that Antifa has apparently taken over our cities and the troops have to battle them.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Trump appointed Judge temporarily bars Trump from deploying the National Guard to cities that hurt his feelings, on the grounds that he's "untethered to the facts" (translation: fucking nuts).

Stephen Miller calls it "Legal Insurrection."

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

If you're more outraged when liberals refer to Trump and ICE as Nazis and fascists than you are by the actual Nazi and fascist acts of Trump and ICE, you are probably a Nazi.

What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

Same guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times shut down the U.S. government 4 times in 5 years of being President. They wanted him to run the government like his businesses and that’s exactly what he’s doing.

Agencies affected by the shutdown have ordered employees to set their out of office replies to one that blames Democrats for them being unavailable.

Can you imagine the squealing that Republicans would do if the situation were reversed?

He was very controlling over military affairs down to even giving direct orders to units in combat when he should have let his generals handle it. He invaded Russia ill prepared, and lost Germany the war. The Nazis had smart people but hitler wasn’t as intelligent as people act like he was.

Hey hitler wasn’t really the brightest either. He was just a passionate lunatic. The party had people that would sit in a room with him and let him rant, then they would write the things he was saying into a coherent speech to be delivered to the public.

Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?!

They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy.

Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.
