Lately I've been bummed out. Lost my brother. Lost my son. Lost my mom. All within the last few years. Nazis running amok in America. Lots to be bummed out about. So to recover and heal I gravitate to stuff that generally or specifically helps others.

"Humiliation of their victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of—let’s call it what it is—sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE."
The People Are Turning Against ICE. Will the Politicians Take Notice?
Strongly worded statements will not stop the terrorization of the country.

Trump is weak. And he seems to live in perpetual anger and fear, held together by drugs and bad AI. He'll certainly expire soon because he's held together by duct tape, string, hate, and sadism because he's a bratty little shit that was doomed to never be anything than a bratty little shit... 1/5

At least Obama's hypothetical Death Panels would have decided who deserved to die based on a rubric more complicated than "did they just piss off a high school dropout armed by the state"

This is a direct violation of the Tenth Amendment and State Sovereignty.

Conditioning federal funds on states surrendering their constitutional authority is not “law and order.” It’s coercion—and the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled it unconstitutional.

We need to campaign just as hard for increased voter access as we do for candidates we like.

Laura Jedeed on applying for a job with ICE: "I expected them to Google me, and they didn't ... they sent me a final job offer ... what's disturbing is we don't know who is wearing these masks with guns in our city. We don't know if they have domestic violence convictions."

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

Journalist, "Do you think President Trump has committed impeachable offences?"

AOC, "Absolutely. Absolutely. Without a shadow of a doubt"

"Personally I. think the criminality of what we're seeing from this administration is quite clear"

Mike Johnson on Renee Good: "This woman was taunting ICE officers. She was impeding law enforcement. She was violating a number of laws. They were very patient ... what I saw was she hit the accelerator and hit the ICE officer and he reacted in a split second."

Keep an eye on the obituaries. That's where we are headed. News isn't going to report the people they kill. Their families will.

The government does not have the right to violate our rights, yet it does every day. Because this is true, our guaranteed rights aren’t inalienable—they’re revocable privileges.

We didn’t ignore the Constitution.

The government did.

Mass protests in the dead of winter is a good sign. It means the disapproval is broad *and* deep - and this administration backs down when that happens.

Vito told his son "never let people know what you are thinking". Trump made a fatal error by getting rattled today and giving the finger. That means he must be hounded in public as a pedophile protector. Trump is toilet scum.

DOKOUPIL: Is there anything here in the US that limits your power other than your own morality?

TRUMP: It's limited by my morality and I have a very high grade of morality, so therefore it's limited

DOKOUPIL: Not the Constitution or courts?

TRUMP: Well, that goes without saying

Santa Ana, CA - 1/9/26

Officers did not immediately call paramedics & instead pressed his face into a pool of blood. They mocked him, saying 'you’re going to lose your eye.'

Doctors found a piece of metal 7mm from his carotid artery, couldn't be removed because they feared it could kill him.

In reality, Trump and his people are frequently seeking the path of least resistance, looking for strategies that titillate their base’s power fantasies without eliciting too much pushback from the public at large. lnk.thebulwark.com/49q0W9u

The orange felon has made more money in less than a year than that of the last 18 US Presidents combined. He isn’t a President, he’s a tyrant, a rapist, a fraudster, a war criminal, a domestic terrorist and a murderer. He should be in jail, not the White House.

The entire system should be scrubbed when this is done..New elections from the ground up. We have fallen as a nation and every agency has been either destroyed or corrupted. If any leadership left wants to prevent the deaths of MILLIONS, they should be taking action. NOW.
The United States of America is under siege by this regime and our leadership should be actively trying to stop this, not looking for bipartisanship.

Anything less, is inviting future trials, lawsuits and unimaginable tragedy.

You're all evil in leadership.
