The U.S. government has officially abandoned the people in favor of technology that helps them defraud the people of every resource.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Zohran Mamadani's statement against Israel's atrocities.

"These last 2 years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modelling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals & an unwavering commitment to universal human rights."

For the love of God, is anybody going to talk about anti-LGBTQ+ Kristi Noem's butchness???

She dresses like a man. She walks like a man. She stands like a man. What are we doing here?

This is amazingly cute. Portland is back to my #2 most desired place to live. Maybe after I finally feel that CA weather, it'll be different.

Thank you people of Portland for your superior courage, strength & compassion! ❤️💖💗

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This guide says you don’t just argue; you dismantle the cult. From turning its own tactics like slogans and repetition against It and offering dignified exits for followers, it's the best out there. Check it out: https://americanmanifesto.news/anti-maga-messaging-guide-v1

When I was little I had a bow a couple years. I'd take it out to the field & practice shooting high up. That's all I did. Just shooting arrows into the sky, pick them up & repeat. In my mountain town, no other kid had a bow. So I got bored of it.

I miss it though.

FOX has been working hard stroking Stephen Miller's ego. But it isn't out of fear.

FOX loves to insult their dumb viewers. This is a perfect example of that. They'll stay tuned in through all the slop. Those braindead Americans eat it right up. Shitting right into their mouths.

Why hasn't anyone interviewed Biden to ask about his aiding in the rise of terrorism & fascist takeover of this country??

We are owed answers directly from the man responsible for allowing Trump to walk free. From the man who watched terrorism spread & did nothing.

Donald Trump is collecting the world's drug traffickers & they're not facing any charges.

The Republican Supreme Court Tuesday issued an extradition warrant for Argentinian/Texas drug trafficker Fred Machado. He's directly connected to Milei through money laundering in 2020.

Stephen Miller caught in unedited CNN video claiming Donald Trump has "plenary authority"; absolute authority without rule of law.

Demand a reformed Supreme Court & treason/terrorism laws from the Democrat Party. Republicans are trampling the U.S. Constitution.
