Obviously, I cannot fully endorse this as it represents a heedless ad hominem assault of raw namecalling. Further and narratively, some additional rhyming to elucidate carefully on the manner of the whoredom alleged would be nice. But, no...

She's a fascist moron.

I can fully endorse this.

Gotta follow the dots though. Access yes, mineral rights flowing into trump’s bank account no. Thus the invasion plans. I can hear it now: I alone will manage the mineral revenue for the benefit of Greenlanders and the great people of the USA. What’s NatSec again? Is it time for my nap yet? Zzzzzz….
The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

Just so I'm understanding this right if Iran shoots protesters our country will have a military response. But when OUR government shoots protesters it's okay and the people deserve it .

As a taxpayer, I would actually prefer that you *not* continue to fund the fascist military machine that is being used to kill and kidnap people from our communities.

Here is a thread about a true police-shooting incident that I'm going to use to pose a fun little thought problem for anyone anywhere who think there ia a single justifiable reason to ever allow a law enforcement officer to use force on a citizen and remain anonymous. From my back pages:

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE:

"No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested".

"Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Have been making this point for a while now.

Any Democrat running for elected offices in 2026 and 2028 - need to provide an outline of a vision for reconstruction of our Republic - which must include accountability & a plan for #SCOTUS. Otherwise, gtfoh w your email, text & calls asking for money.
I’m begging Democratic leaders to understand that outlining and forcefully articulating their vision for accountability now is an electoral strategy.
"The Democrats’ plan: TBD. There has been a lot of rhetoric, but ... the caucus is largely shying away from using its leverage in the appropriations process and threatening another government shutdown."

“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time" - Hakeem Jeffries

Dem leadership and every last leader from the school board to Congress needs to cowboy up or resign and get out of the way.
From firing the local MAGA-allied police chief to calling for the abolishment of ICE, so much inaction by elected Democrats boils down to "but I'm scared!"

I am very sorry, but you said you could do this job when you were hired. Please step aside if you can't.

Such a welcome contrast in nyc, bread and roses, as it should be.
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

GW Bush glued 22 federal orgs together to form homeland security in 2002/3. Largest govt reorg since the 40s. Given the lawlessness and fascism, no reason the next president can’t reorganize it. Break it up, abolish ice entirely, fire the incompetents, and transfer the rest somewhere useful.

This. @adamserwer.bsky.social is spot on.
American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

Look for the helpers.

Faced with evil, watch for the decent people standing against it.
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

We already had the failed Beer Hall Putsch.
Now we have the new SA on the streets crushing dissent, disappearing and shooting enemies.
When someone finally shoots an ICE agent in reply to this lawless insanity, we go to Kristallnacht.

This is just what we in the entertainment biz call a reboot.
If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch.

Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades.

Disgusting.

We are the shithole nation. From Caracas to Greenland to Minneapolis, we are the problem in the world, we are the source of the tragedy, we are the affront to all human dignity. This is the United States now. We are the evil.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.
