If trump is invading portland, LA , chicago.

We shouldn't be protesting in those cities. Thats what he wants.

We should be protesting in Red states with blue cities to throw them OFF.

-and doing covert surveillance in the invaded cities.

It's a conspiracy now: Kristi Noem says that Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek are "helping ANTIFA cover up terrorism."

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

The thing I don’t understand about all this polling analysis and plucky, “let’s get them in the midterms!” themes in the discourse is like… then what?

Is the actual plan of record basically:

1) get them in the midterms
2) ????
3) now they suddenly respect laws

Trump is currently polling at or above 50% in all of these states. Red States are the hardest hit by tariffs and will be the hardest hit on healthcare, proving that voting against your own interests is as American as idiot apple pie.

I see from CNN that Canada’s economy is in “crisis”.

A word of unsolicited advice to everyone: don’t believe a single word any US media says about Canada. None. They don’t know shit about us and they don’t care.

It’s in the US’ interest to describe us as being in crisis. Not ours.

A unifying theme of the actions taken by the new Donald Trump administration and its Project 2025 is wrecking the United States as a democratic power, to the benefit of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and other autocratic adversaries,”

Based on the scale of the vandalism, it's clear that many New Yorkers are not on board with the concept of a wearable AI pendant.

Vandals deface ads for AI necklaces that listen to all your conversations

Critics attacked subway ads to defend human friends and broadly criticize AI.

Keep your pets away from ICE and the Texas National Guard! Chicago residents are reporting that ICE and Shit-Kicker Guard have been eying their cats and dogs and circling their neighborhoods like unfed vultures.
