The USA has had a cold civil war since Brown v. Board, if not since 1877, and possibly since the Second Founding.
There were people in 1970 who thought the student protesters at Kent State deserved it when they were shot to death.

I’m reminding myself of that so I don’t fall into denial and imagine the sadistic glee I’m seeing on X about the ICE shooting is new. It’s not.

It’s a strand in our cultural fabric.

Trump is waging a civil war against the American people, disguised as law enforcement.
Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

Attacking Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, and siezing Greenland are long standing far right dreams. Also, GETTING RID OF PUERTO RICO (because... non-Aryans).

If it helps make things about the Seven Mountains Mandate more clear, think of it as SEVEN SHAKEOUTS / SEVEN REVOLUTIONS.

Power and money are being taken from the people, generally, and given to Christian nationalists.

This is a WEALTH TRANSFER from all taxpayers to people loyal to Trump. It is intentionally a part of Trump's economic SHAKEOUT.

What Wiles said about excessive sentencing of J6ers was bullshit.
The VF profile notes Wiles was incorrect about violent Jan. 6 defendants receiving greater-than-recommended sentences, but it doesn’t capture how wildly off base she was. I don’t think there was a single above-guidelines sentence given in a J6 felony case. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

When the fuck are we going to recognize that the coming war is not about drug smuggling, but a favor for oil companies who want that Venezuelan crude oil?

Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

Trump put the moron in oxymoron.
Hang on, a pause is by definition temporary. Permanent is the opposite of temporary. “Permanent pause” is an oxymoron, a contradiction. If you want to be president of the US, don’t you think you should learn English, @realDonaldTrump ?

Unless Trump's movement is brought to a halt, the U.S. will emulate Russia. Trump will try to strip no only Venezuela, but also Greenland, Canada, and other resource-rich places. Listen to what he says about our NATO allies! He is a predator lusting for goodies in their soils.
Wagner group of Putin mercenaries would go into countries and put up their own puppet leader. Then they start the killing and the stripping of natural resources.
Hegset is a Putin puppet and he's working the same playbook as Wagner.
Hegseth Putin's KGB spy!

Just a reminder, because I do not see any way any of this Trump bullshit ends peacefully. None of it will just fizzle out.

On September 4, 1866, President Andrew Johnson set the precedent for Trump’s latest outrage: In Cleveland, Ohio, Johnson called those who opposed his plan for reversing the Union’s Civil War victory (by reinstating and nationalizing the Confederacy) “traitors” and called for them to be hanged.

NATO is not a fucking country club; there are no "dues." Countries agree to build and maintain their own military forces, spending to a standard amount. That Republican is a dumbass who just revealed how little attention he has cared to know about NATO.

There is about to be a fight over this issue. Refusing unlawful orders will derail the lawless Trump regime.

Stephen Miller was LYING about immigrants driving up housing costs. It has been the super wealthy THE WHOLE TIME! Their immense passive income demands asset buying. It will get WORSE when trillionaires exist.

Trillionaires will be economic DEATH.
Large corps like Blackstone buy large numbers of houses and then control the supply of rental units. They bid up the price of houses which forces people to rent. Then they raise the price of rent. It’s the billionaires not the immigrants. www.cnbc.com/2023/02/21/h...
Wall Street has purchased hundreds of thousands of single-family homes since the Great Recession. Here's what that means for rental prices
Corporations backed by private equity groups such as Blackstone and Pretium Partners bought tens of thousands of homes across the U.S. Sun Belt.
