Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation.
The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism.
There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

This baffling to me. Republicans have gotten everything they wanted since Nixon and Reagan. Are these Republicans re-thinking their life choices, or are they just happy they have free health care for the rest of their lives and choose to rest, now that their job of enshittifying the USA is done?

UPDATE — TEXAS: The Trump supporter who started a fight with those high school kids, and proceeded to get his ass kicked and run away, has been arrested.

Thanks, Governor!
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Yet it has come to pass that we never hear about Gaza anymore now that Trump is president and we have to focus on all the crap Trump is doing. When Biden was president, Gaza and Palestinians were top of the news. And nobody liked how Biden was handling the situation. So we got Trump. Caught up now?
So after 2.5 years of Israel unrelenting genocide in Gaza some stats.
Israelis and others killed Oct 7th - 1195
Hamas killed since - 12,000 approximately of the 30,000
Palestinian civilians killed - 71,000
Don't tell me this was a military operation, it was a genocide that continues today.

I think the RIGHT needs to stop supporting "guns for all without regulation." Over 45,000 people per year are dying from gun related deaths. And the PRIMARY REASON "gunners" give for owning is so they can fight a tyrannical government. But they HAVEN'T been fighting, have they? Put up or shut up.

Everyone can see this is an execution. Someone will pay for it and go to jail. But justice will be slow and methodical, not swift and inaccurate. Even if Trump gives these maniacs a pardon, they can be taken into custody and sent off to the The Hague to face an international criminal court.

How can we stop this? Who will check the power of this tyrant? Who will prosecute these crimes? Do we have to wait 3 more years? Will the Robert's Court and Brett Kavanaugh agree this is illegal? Will the next president have to ship these thugs to The Hague for a trial?
