This is so true. I engage with Trump’s base every day. 4yrs & 9mo’s after that horrible day, almost every one of them believes what’s written here. Most now believe Jan 6 was “righteous.”👇

Donald Trump is trying to create a police state. In this country. In America. Fuck that. Trump is trying to turn America into a police state. Most Americans will not accept that. Most Americans will not live in a police state. No fucking way.

Ari Melber: Over the past three decades, far-right extremists led 220 attacks, compared to far-left extremists leading 42 attacks. That's roughly five times [more]

If you look at the body count... far-right extremist violence led ~520 deaths, the left-wing attacks resulted in the death of about 78.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Portland Is Not Burning To The Ground. Chicago Is Not A War Zone. So Why Is Trump Lying: He’s trying to send troops to both Chicago and Portland as he continues his militarization of this country. It’s wrong, it’s unconstitutional, it’s un-American, but why is he doing it? Why? We all need to brace…

He’s trying to send troops to both Chicago and Portland as he continues his militarization of this country. It’s wrong, it’s unconstitutional, it’s un-American, but why is he doing it? Why? We all need to brace ourselves for the scary, ugly truth. Unlike January 6th, we can’t be caught off guard or surprised again.

Republicans used to say they believed in free markets & free trade. Now they believe in Trump.

Republicans used to say they believed in the rule of law. Now they believe in Trump.

Donald Trump wanted there to be violence on January 6th. For months, he incited the violence that occurred that day. He’s doing it again. He wants there to be violence on our streets. And he’s actively inciting it right now. Today’s show. Have a listen.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Ken Paxton just sucks.

Robert Downen @robertdownen.bsky.social · 20h

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.
