Meanwhile this the real war being waged on Americans by their own government and its thugs.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Live image taken literally seconds ago from downtown Portland, Oregon.

Thankfully, we have live video cams to reveal these war ravaged streets.

It must be hell-o, will you look at those cool necklaces!

Another day in Portland Oregon - nothing to see here

This should be unacceptable to any self-respecting institution of higher education.

Trump and his enablers will be consigned to the toxic dustbin of history.

The shame of any university that destroys its own credibility will last very much longer.

This is the first citation I have detected from an academic publication that I assume was either generated by AI or incorrectly entered by the scholar/editor. Hogg did not contribute to our book, there is no chapter with that title, and there is other material on those pages.

Posse Comitatus.

It’s time for senior leadership of the US armed forces to reaffirm their allegiance to the US constitution + state that they will not take part in domestic law enforcement other than for legal exceptions.

Congressmen and judges who still have a spine should stand with them.

Hegseth’s cosplay resembled a loutish adolescent auditioning for a role in the student drama group’s production of Dr. Strangelove.

Why are the military command in the room? What’s the purpose?

It’s a spectacle.

Cringeworthy.

Red meat for the MAGA faithful and a red flag for the rest of us.

Live webcam of Portland - taken literally seconds ago.

Now that’s what I call “war ravaged” - or maybe that’s “bore ravaged” or “law ravaged”.

Vicious “Auntie Fayes” stalk the streets of Portland.

No one is safe from these members of your extended family.

Conrad 'Connie' Brean: Why not?

Ames: What have they done to us?

Brean: What have they done for us? What do you know about them?

Ames: Nothing.

Brean: See? They keep to themselves. Shifty. Untrustable.

Hey MAGA

The President is a pedophile.

Your party is trying to cover it up and failing.

The economy is destroyed.

Trust in America has plummeted.

Our rights are being taken away from us.

And guess what?

Over 50 minutes of toxic drivel from Trump at the UN.

Irrelevant, ignorant, and relentlessly insulting.

In Trump’s first term he presented “alternative facts.”

He’s moved on.

This was a clown class in “inverse facts” - stating the precise opposite of the facts.

Trump has designated Auntie Faye as a “domestic terrorist organization”.

She’s not taken it too well.

“I’m not a domestic and I’m not an organization. But I’ll show you terror, little man.”

All peoples have the right to self determination and to the peace and security of their own state. Recognition of the Palestinian state is long overdue and I dream of two democratic states living in peaceful coexistence.

What if the millions who turn out on October 18 for No Kings turn out again on October 19, and continue to turn out each day - on strike from work and boycotting school - until Trump/Vance resign + Congress is instructed to appoint a bipartisan leadership to dismantle fascism?

This Canadian is disappointed that the USA has unilaterally destroyed our bilateral trade deals and wants to annexe Canada. I invite the ambassador to look for another posting or maybe another career - diplomacy isn’t his strong suit + he clearly knows/cares very little about Canada.

The White House “golden ballroom” is an obscenity.

Once Trump and his regime have gone, the space could be converted into a consultative jury hall, a people’s executive with revolving membership, so that the needs of average Americans are heard, respected, and responded to.
