They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

America's oligarchs are now drunk with power. They control nearly everything and are thirsty for even more power and wealth. These people are the true enemies of democracy.

It’s me, I’m a rich person. I think all the poors should get beat up by the military.

By the way, if you want to help from the comfort of your desk, a good thing you could do is try to locate the original of this video - presumably higher-quality - and geolocate it. It’s probably the worst thing we’ve seen yet, in so many ways, but the provenance of the video seems mostly unknown.

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire. (I'm not an expert, but it sort of sounds like insider trading to me. Thoughts?) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

They don’t care. How anyone can still support this administration is unfathomable. SHAME on Republicans. But of course, they still expect the military to do their bidding - war, invade our cities, etc. They should all go AWOL.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

There WILL be accountability for these sick, inhumane individuals. Maybe they’re the ones that should be deported to the hellhole country prisons?

ICE is both growing and becoming emboldened. I suspect we'll see more and more incidents like this.
