I see your point. However, in the face of capitulant branches of government and institutions, it’s necessary for every bit of resistance, however small, to be exhibited.

Agreed. But it’s still good to acknowledge things for what they are with an administration that gaslights and threatens everyone.

Remember that speech Trump gave to the Sailors the other day, about how ‘it’s coming’ in regard to payment? Well it’s not-his administration is attempting to retroactively remove proof that the policy ever existed.

So, at least someone is calling it for what it is, as most of our media and elected reps are complicit and sane wash him.

How bad is the economy? Maxwell House is rebranding as Maxwell Apartment, and is offering to ‘lease’ a years worth of coffee for less than 40 bucks. Which is an incredible price 🤔

ICE shot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. I truly cannot wait to see these wannabe tough guys get their comeuppance when our military take them to task.

I can’t get past his crazy eyes. What a freak. And they gave him a literal license to kill!

Miller stated that Trump has plenary authority over the US military. I'm sure ICE is their "Plan B" if the military won't open fire on US civilians.
By then, the mil will be our only remaining hope. There’s a decent chance that the military will decide to tell POTUS "step down, or be removed”

ICE is employing technology to read our text messages and listen to our phone calls. Trump’s personal army invading the personal communications of Americans is definitional fascist authoritarianism.

RFK, the former junkie, has zero scientific credentials and even though they say the worm is gone, I’m thinking-not. The useless Republicans who bow down to their puppet master are the ones who are destroying this nation.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Did you see John Oliver’s segment on Bibi and the soulless ghouls who work for him? One laughed and said well the demolition stage is almost complete and then we will rebuild. Fucking garbage human spoke about killing children in the most off the cuff way. Zionists are some of the worst people ever.
