A salty blue dot in the very red deserts of California and very angry federal employee.

Fiscal conservative-turned liberal progressive

Not politically correct
What I get from this: the GOP is vulnerable. They know they're vulnerable. And they're fucking terrified.

Strike while the iron is hot Dems.
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Unlike some, I can multitask.

Everything matters. Including the Epstein Files

Glad to see at least a few mainstream reporters besides Rachal Maddow stand up to these human shit bags.

I believe in nuclear energy.

I believe that this regime has no business being allowed to touch anything remotely related to nuclear anything.
Do you feel safer that this administration has decided to bypass nuclear protocols in order to build a bunch of experimental nuclear reactors? Do you think they are competent to create a safe and successful program? 🗽

In point and fact you can fix stupid, but it's considered homicide.

I'm not recommending violence btw. Assassinating this shit stain would just make him a martyr
You can't fix stupid. But we can impeach and imprison it.

MAGA: He's a great President!

Trump allies in private: dude...no he's fucking insane
We should pay more attention to what people are saying behind the scenes, and Frumpy’s earshot. Especially when they deny it to avoid his demented wrath.

Very randomly ran across this on YouTube and feel it's an important thing to share right now.

Also, I need to watch With Honors apparently. I'd never even heard of it before today.
Power should answer to people, not rule over them... 😳😳😳 #truelife #edwardgrobinson

Coming soon to a city in the US.
Another nail in the coffin of the rule of law in #Hungary at the hands of #Orbán.

This is unacceptable. The European Commission and the Member States must intervene urgently and decisively.

We stand with Mayor Gergely Karácsony and the Hungarian people. 🇭🇺🇪🇺

Budapest mayor charged over his calls for people to defy Hungary’s Pride ban
Gergely Karácsony urged people to take to streets in June in pushback against Orbán government’s attack on rights

Obviously the resharer understands what I'm about to say:

It was always the GOP that wanted to take away your guns. Always. We just wanted to make sure you were going to be responsible with them.

MAGAs suddenly worried that Trumppopotamus may start "infringing" their Thought & Prayer devices.

Wonder when MAGAts are going to wake up to what so many of the rest of us have been saying for at least a year now:

Trump views the Constitution and it's Amendments as single ply toilet paper.
1st Amendment - right to assemble = Renee was killed

1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment = Alex was killed

4th Amendment - warrants required = ChongLy "Scott" Thao abducted

10th amendment- powers reserved for states = the fed govt overides state & local authority on rebuilding & land-use decisions.
H/t to a fellow Alt for sharing this (you know who you are 😉)

FedGov has declared itself exempt from the Constitution, all of it, basically. Let me walk you through this so you’ll understand all the ways this is a direct attack on every American.

Interesting take. I don't see why it can't be both though

No we fucking don't need to "reform immigration detention". We need to viciously and permanently end it.
January 27, 2026 at 7:46 PM
71% seems but I also live in MAGAville CA. Either way the rest of us should press the advantage, and grab on to what little hope you can, while you can. You can bet before you know if they're going to find some new, worse atrocities to commit (or expand the ones they're already committing)
Republicans in Congress could have controlled Trump from his First day in Office.Out of Fear, Breaking their Oath they chose not to control Trump & Save America & Life. Would You ever Vote for a Spineless Republican in Congress Again🤔. Replies with reasons is hoped for. Let’s start a Conversation 👊😎

More likely he'll invade Englad
Shit’s so bad in Minnesota that he’s gonna have to release the Epstein files to distract from it

Is Mamdani setting himself up for running for President? Cause I'm here for it if he is
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
January 27, 2026 at 1:23 AM
Reminder that the Trump Files don't matter any less just because Trump started murdering people.

But also that those murders also don't matter any less just because the Trump Files haven't been released.
January 26, 2026 at 6:27 PM
I look forward to reading the chapter in history books dedicated to how this bitch enabled crimes against humanity.

This regime absolutely wants people to get killed. That's the entire fucking point
Leavitt: "Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America's streets. This includes Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the brave men and women of law enforcement, and the many Americans who have been victimized by illegal alien criminals"

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Hope they get tear-gassed by ICE. Fucking cucks
Heads Up Minneapolis!

MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today.

They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Wonder if they're going to remove the stuff about how slaves built the white house from the 14A exhibit at the National Archives.
This was probably a wet dream come true for the KKK
January 25, 2026 at 5:06 PM
Lot of people I know that have studied US History have been saying for decades that Jackson's handling of Reconstruction made what is happening today all but inevitable.
It seems like we are in this position because the Confederacy was not really punished
