30 seconds to midnight? 15? The Trump administration is literally playing with fire.

Code red for humanity?

I am genuinely frightened.

Thanks, New Yorker

Where’s the outrage against the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny?

In Chump's Own Words.......

There was no characterization. That’s what he said.

But this is Speaker Johnson. Too scared to speak with integrity. Too weak to lead.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

hey, remember when Kamala Harris warned everyone that Trump would use the military on us, and the press was all "shut up, laughing lady, prove you worked at McDonald's"? that was fun, wasn't it

I wrote pretty much the same thing.

Gotta say I agree with @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy on this one.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

The Supreme Court issued a disturbing ruling earlier this week permitting federal agents in Los Angeles to stop people because of their ethnicity, the language they speak, their job, or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time during an ICE raid.

So where was this kind of response for Melissa Hortman? Yeah...

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

I would like to remember Medgar Evers today. And Melissa Hortman. And RFK Senior. And Leo Ryan. And George Tiller. And Martin Luther King. And Gabe Zimmerman. And all the kids at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. And all the people at the Pulse nightclub. Sorry if I am leaving anyone out.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.

Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.

There is no justification for this. None.

Trump the conman!
Signs are appearing around the country in MAGA red crediting Trump for projects financed by the Biden era Infrastructure Reduction Act, even though Trump forcefully opposed the measure and said Republicans who voted for it would be voted out.

Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public?

Yeah, me neither.

A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.

This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

Damn. Glad your Mom wasn't injured and the pets made it out too.

Don’t look away

Chicago keeping art alive:

No notes

President Trump’s deployment of military troops and federal agents to DC is not about increasing public safety — it’s a blatant attempt to abuse his power to serve his own political agenda.

To truly protect the people living in our nation’s capital, Congress must make DC a state immediately.
