Happy Traitor Surrender Day!

The final and most significant "Confederate flag" wasn't the "Southern Cross". It was a white dish towel. Nothing captures the reality of a failed rebellion quite like surrendering your entire cause with a piece of kitchen linen. The South literally threw in the towel.

Trump promised his tariffs and 2025 "One Big Beautiful Bill" would make the USA "debt-free." Instead, the national debt just hit a record $39 TRILLION. Tariffs hurt American workers and tanked the economy. So much for that "proven economic formula."

"Iraq? Afghanistan? Forget those. Third time's a charm!"

Trump isn't as dumb as the persona he projects, but his followers are, so he continues to project that persona.

"Wait. So we're for gun control and against releasing the Epstein files now?"

Meth.

"Rap lyrics really speak to me as a white, suburban insurance salesman."

Can’t wait for the Toilet Paper USA halftime show this Sunday! Nothing screams "blue collar hero" like the son of a multimillionaire car dealer screeching "I'm a cowboy" while larping as the working class.

Just another richie rich white boy cosplaying as trailer trash like ol' JD. 🦅

4/ They are happily watching their rights evaporate, smiling all the way to the camps.
Freedom isn't lost all at once; it's lost one fascist bureaucratic mandate at a time. And right now, the silence from the "freedom lovers" is deafening.

3/ But history tells a different story.
When you applaud the stripping away of anonymity and the demand for papers, you aren't fighting for safety. You’re just greasing the gears of the machine that will eventually process you.

2/ First, it was just an ID. Then it was a "Real" ID. Now we need a passport just to travel within our own borders.
They’re trading privacy for a false sense of security, piece by piece. They think if they just comply enough, the leopard won't eat their face.

🧵1/ It’s ironic how the "Don't Tread on Me" crowd is the first to line up for the tread marks. 📷📷📷
We’re watching the party of "Small Government" and "Individual Liberty" cheerlead the construction of the ultimate surveillance state.

When you hire police department castoffs and wannabe mercenaries, with zero accountability or training, you end up with a gang of sociopathic killers. How many innocent citizens will these unhinged ICE agents kill before we take a stand and stop them?

Trump's Gestapo Chief Greg Bovino was on the ground at the shooting in Minneapolis, looking pleased with the outcome.

Nothing says "booming economy" like soaring rent, unaffordable groceries, and 20 million people losing healthcare and food assistance because of the #TrumpInflationCrisis and the Big Ugly Bill. It's astonishing to watch Trump take a victory lap around the dumpster fire he lit. 🔥

Trump became obsessed with building a White House ballroom after visiting England, where he attended a state dinner in St. George's Hall at Buckingham Palace. He's trying to recreate an opulent, gaudy ballroom he saw in a 14th-century castle. #NoKings

Trump sought a convenient scapegoat to justify the imposition of martial law, and the imaginary threat of Antifa emerged as the ideal target for his agenda.

There are two kinds of people: those who roll up their sleeves and do the hard work, and those who sit back and take credit for others' work. Trump is always in the second group.

The transformation of The People's House into Mar-a-Lago DC is nearly complete.

Republican VA budget cuts are jeopardizing veterans' healthcare, causing staff shortages, halting research, and closing hospitals. Contact your representatives and tell them to restore these cuts to veterans’ benefits. #DefendVeteransBenefits

Many Americans still don't understand that U.S. businesses and consumers pay for Trump's tariffs - not the countries from which goods are imported. Trump's tariffs are a sales tax that will hurt small businesses and working families.
