We all know how the meeting with Sec of State is going to go. Rubio has already declared that regime changes are okay and actually beneficial as well as implying his bloodlust towards Cuba. If you want references just look at how Zelenskyy has been treated by the US. www.kyivpost.com/post/67933

At the beginning of the US Revolution more and more troops were sent to the colonies to keep the peace. These "peacekeepers" saw themselves as the protectors of authority and thought they had immunity to do whatever they want. It ended in the Boston Massacre. #History edition.cnn.com/2026/01/12/u...

How can two opposing things be true to people? For example, a die hard MAGA claims that socialism and communism will destroy our country in one breath and then cheer as their leader attempts to take control of the Fed and establish a demand economy.

During the Gilded Age the Upper Class would flaunt their wealth and make it a point to separate themselves from any relation with the common folk. Also leading up to the Gilded Age in America was a series of revolutions and peasant uprisings all around the world for the same disconnect. #history

The thing that worries me most about the recent video circulating of a DHS officer threatening people for filming is that he is wearing captain bars on his uniform. This guy is not a new recruit, he is a seasoned vet of this organization. His hateful views have been on the force for a long time.

My main form of employment is in content creation and I find it so difficult to try and create art right now when the world seems to be melting around me and my family. I refuse to just lament online about the issues as that is not my style.

Stay strong out there everyone.

I pray that there is a God right now and that these fools will be judged in the next life for what they are doing today around the world. I am absolutely fuming at the events that have transpired.

I will say this once. Sharing ones opinion that ICE has overstepped their mission, sharing opinions that ICE is a violent paramilitary group, and sharing that ICE's mission is to terrorize the United States does not make someone a violent protestor nor a terrorist extremist. Fox News needs to stop!

This is another reason we should be nervous about the Venezuelan oil being stolen by US interests. The GOP is going to steal the future from our children in order to subjugate the poor and make more money. I absolutely find this power play horrible. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/c...

the book of Ruth is one that really should be used more in modern society. The story of redemption through charity, loyalty, and strong love is a beautiful thing. I honestly think that if we all lived the way we are shown in this book the world would be a better place.

I honestly do not know how people can look at the forecast for christmas day and think that climate change is still a hoax. all i can do is pray that people will actually wake the F up and start to do something before our kids and grandkids no longer have a future.

can we all agree that the propaganda machine using images of childhood characters is disgusting in the most extreme sense. Using Franklin, Snoopy, Clifford, et al. for hateful content is like cigarette companies sponsoring candy aimed at kids. Absolutely disgusting.

I remember reading that during the american revolution many that were not in position to directly oppose the crown did so through letters to editors and anonymous articles written for local news papers. That is one of the reasons I started this account. I want to feel like I am doing something.

I find it interesting as the world crumbles how blind some people are to it all. I try to avoid the worst of the news and just stay informed but even I can see the parallels between history and present. I fear for the next ten years even if the current American regime is changed.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Kash Patel saying "no one is above the law" is the dumbest thing I have seen in a while. Your boss has literally been convicted of over 36 felony charges and is now sitting president of the USA.He has literally made himself above the law. What a corrupt dweeb Mr. Patel is.

the latest propaganda post from DHS just dropped and I have never had such a reaction of pure disgust before in my life. The corruption of E Pluribus Unum to mean one culture is disgusting. The idea that these ppl can claim that our forefathers wanted a homogeneous society is absolutely disgusting.

I am still upset that the DoD is now the DoW. I understand the idea that offense is the best defense, but to defend the innocent is an idea that America was founded on. To attack others is a return to manifest destiny and a black spot in our collective history. DoW is an act of aggression itself.

Day 296 of the occupation of America by an autocratic regime. We are now seeing reports from state media that crime rates have lowered under military pressure in Chicago. Reports from civilians show militarized occupants threatening civilians with firearms, abducting toddlers, & attacking reporters.
