Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.”

People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

This afternoon, I sat with Palestinian New Yorkers in Astoria and listened to what they and their families have endured as the genocide in Gaza continues, funded by our government.

In the face of immeasurable grief, they have showed unbreakable resilience.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 4d

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

Shame on the sailors for clapping. Navy Clapper Boys - effing idiots highfiving as though Caligula T gives a shit about any of them. If their boat was sinking he'd say, well, they knew what they signed up for and let em drown and/or leave em stranded to drown.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States
