I’m Ron, from NY
I was never involved in politics & thought things would work themselves out. Then, I started seeing others trying to take our Rights away. I was taught to appreciate the freedom earned by people who came before me and good people now who want better lives. This isn't better.

How many felons do you think are working for ICE at this point? I definitely think it's a a non-zero number. If they weren't a felon when they started, I suspect many of them are...now.

His dementia is close to rendering him dysfunctional. DOJ is already dysfunctional, to the point where they have abandoned their reason for existence and have become Trump's personal vendetta machine.

I'm kind of doubting it or this would be bigger news.

Just like Rachel Maddow and Jasmine Crockett being shown with what looks like open heart surgery scars.

This place is getting crazy too.

Anybody saying that America is fine with what's happening or that we don't care about it can go get fucked

That's some abuser bullshit

We don't victim blame

That's gop shit

Everything that is wrong with the GOP can be explained in these 4 charts

The principles of Abuse

The failures of racism

The Special Snowflake chart

The Virtue/Abuse Quadrant chart

redloraine.wixsite.com/website/post...

A chart of an asshole - each pucker of the rose represents another spoke on the wheel of abuse - it includes things like abuse, exploitation, transphobia, misogyny, sexual assault

n The inability to tolerate discomfort
n No self awareness
n A lack of a strong internal sense of self that isn’t rooted in hate
n Which creates a lack of selfactualization outside of racist tropes

n Not being able to selfsoothe
n An inability to sort out general information using a basic logic familiarity
n No distinction between external fears & internal biases
n A difficulty in changing perspective which translates into being trapped

n Which all creates
a self identify rooted in the persecution
of others
n Internally understanding
these actions as wrong means that they will always doubledown because to do otherwise
would dismantle
their entire self

Repeating this process is unsustainable.
Come away from racism. Work on all of these faults
within yourself. Learn how to change your brain.

1. Always distort the truth to make you seem favorable and frame the target of abuse as unfavorable.
2. Always misrepresent your motives to be beneficial while hiding the principles of abuse that are being used in whatever action is taken.
3. Frame any call to responsibility or consequences as invalid, and deny, deflect, distract, and attack the source of those calls.
4. Always promise what the targets of manipulation want, frame what you are doing as delivering what they ask for, and then do whatever you want anyway.
5. Undermine any circumstances that stand in your way for example if a wilderness area you want to exploit is pristine, get in and make an oil spill then there is nothing left to protect; or if you want to destroy public education install an abuser, destroy the agency, point at it as a failure of government and then implement your private education plan for profit.
6. Isolate the targets of abuse by dismantling support systems, cutting off access to resources, and opposing anything that could bolster the targets of abuse.
7. Always take the best and leave the least possible for the targets of abuse such as funneling PPE dollars to military contractors while heath care workers use trash bags for protection.
8. Always use unfavorable circumstances to your advantage and if possible, turn circumstances against the targets of abuse such as allowing COVID to ravage blue states while funneling dollars to red states.
9. Always blame the victim for anything bad that happens to them or anything that you do to them.
10. Always pretend to be the victim in any situation, co-opt any symbols or methods your targets use for selfdefense.
11. Never allow scrutiny of your actions and always reject any investigations.
12. Use high control, propaganda, fear, threats, and manipulation to manage the victims of abuse.
13. Never admit to any wrong.
14. Whatever you want to do is the only thing that is important and any suffering you cause along the way is inconsequential or ev…

A quadrant chart is a type of data visualization that divides a scatter plot into four quadrants, often used to identify trends, patterns, and relationships between two variables.
THIS chart drafts the intersections of virtue and abuse - showing the most and least of each. The republican government exists in the most abuse and least virtue of the chart

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

So, there's a video that was posted of Jack Smith today announcing indictments against the orange asshole.

I'm thinking it wasn't real.

I’ve heard plenty of “journalists” ask democrats why they’re not voting to pass the CR and end the shutdown.

Why should democrats sign up to put ACA healthcare premiums beyond the reach of 20+ million Americans?

Btw, many of the folks impacted are MAGA.

Trump’s in charge. It’s his shutdown.

Well, either that or he no longer has any clue about that "annual" means.

Of course something not right. Just look at him. Listen to him speak for 2 minutes, if you can stand it.

The man is unwell AND insane.
Stephen Miller too.

“I wish I could be the guy who says, ‘everyone calm down; things have been just as bad before, and we got through it.’ But I can’t be that reasonable-sounding moderate floating above it all. Things are very bad. People should be far more alarmed than they are.”

This is hilarious. Now I want to watch this show

A rightwing late-night show may have bombed – but the funding behind it is no laughing matter

Conservative donors spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a rightwing Stephen Colbert-style talkshow

He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC
