Such absolute incompetence from this administration’s goons. Seriously, if someone had been hit by that bullet Kristi “puppy murderer” Noem would immediately hold a press briefing stating it was the victim’s fault they didn’t jump out of the way of the bullet.

Yup.
Quick update on the political situation in the US: the government is led by a billionaire pedophile who believes he can murder American citizens with impunity.

Seems bad!

Has anyone else noticed that the EPSTEIN FILES are still being held back. Less than 1% have been released. Another blatant refusal to accept oversight from our pitifully weak congress. 🗽

To everyone in other countries asking why Americans aren’t standing up to him (we are,) I ask you this: why aren’t your governments? Why are countries moving G7 so he can have a good birthday? Where are the sanctions? Are you still planning on sending athletes to the World Cup and Olympics?
The rest of the world continues to work around America’s ongoing reality freak show.

The regime is now actively interfering with children’s education because they are putting students in danger. They tear gassed teenagers at their school the same day just blocks away from where they murdered Renee Good.

So people from other countries are asking why Americans aren’t fighting to stop our slide into 1930s Germany (many are). Yet their governments are capitulating and bending over backwards so Trump has a good birthday. Germany wasn’t stopped by Germans it took other countries to stop them.

A bunch of basement dwellers who spent their entire lackluster inconsequential lives playing call of duty are now cosplaying as military.

They are using violence to scare us into compliance.
'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said the government's "obey, or die" narrative surrounding Wednesday's shooting in Minneapolis should raise "an alarm bell for the entire country."

This is what they’re doing now

NYT: “Asked in a wide-ranging interview if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’”

I think of this as reverse gaslighting. He plants the idea as a joke and slowly moves it into reality. He will slowly change the wording as people get used to hearing it.
When Trump declared “I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election because the fake news will say ‘he wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator,” he was following his standard playbook.

Next he'll say "many people are saying..."

The regime is actively covering up the murder of an American citizen by a federal employee.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

So the Trump administration uses ICE to murder innocent civilians here in the US—and the military to murder innocent fishermen overseas.

This is a criminal regime.

He really is a small weak little manchild. I assume that everyone who worships and supports him is just as pathetic.
Trump is now upset and has asked the Department of the Interior to crack down on stickers covering his face on annual national park passes. They are attempting to claim that placing a sticker over his image voids the pass entirely.

I have been saying this on threads, but I am making a push to use BlueSky more. It is harder to silence survivors. I will forever believe they delayed medical care on purpose.
WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I really need to do better at using BlueSky instead of threads. Fuck Zuck and Meta for trying to silence those speaking out against ICE.

My instagram/threads account was permanently banned and I have no idea why. They gave no explanation as to which community standard I violated. As far as I know I haven’t even had a post reported. 🤷🏼‍♀️
