Alright, I’m gonna pop off here a bit to make something clear.

I frankly am done with the slander that because I hold Democrats to a certain standard that I somehow support Trump?

Here’s an excerpt of an article I wrote in October ahead of the election.

i am currently reading jacob heilbrunn’s great book on the American right’s love affair with foreign dictators, and one thing that is very apparent is that these people have always celebrated racism. no backlash required.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care?

There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

“It’ll be fine in 4 years.”

A century from now, the damage this administration has already done will still rear its head. We’re still paying as a country for things REAGAN did.

A ballot measure to repeal an anti-labor law has met the threshold for signatures to get on the 2026 ballot in Utah.

Protect Utah Workers collected 320,000+ signatures—over twice the required amount.

They're seeking to defend public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

It’s a phenomenon we saw with Biden. Once people soured on the economy, they started hating Biden’s handling on every single issue.

It was foolish for democrats to cozy up to Trump’s anti immigration sentiment hoping to split the baby. Cowardly and foolish. Shame on them.
I have added an updating average of Trump's approval rating on key issues to the Strength In Numbers data portal. Today it shows Trump has gone negative on his handling of immigration. POTUS is now underwater on every major issue

If you're not from Ontario and you're hearing talk Doug Ford could be the new Conservative leader, what you have to understand is Doug Ford & Pierre Poilievre are two halves of one Donald Trump. Poilievre is the "Facebook fever swamp ideas" half. Ford is the "shockingly corrupt land developer" half

How much of everything awful happening today could have been avoided by holding people who attempt a coup accountable instead of stepping back and saying "I'm sure the American voters will make the right choice."

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

GM workers in Mexico have won record raises.

Despite GM's strikebreaking they secured raises averaging 10%.

It's a pivotal campaign supported by the @uaw.org and other worker allies that could boost wages and conditions for autoworkers across North America.

I get why people are focusing on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but we should be demanding the return of every single person ICE abducted and that the Trump administration trafficked to El Salvador.

I don't care if they're an angel or a terrorist.
