On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

True Posters crave engagement, but despise the Reply Guy. They need validation, but the Reply Guy is a funhouse mirror in which their bangers appear distorted, their bits grotesque. The Reply Guy is a scapegoat, a sin eater, condemned yet essential, constantly sacrificed and reborn in your replies.
the thing a lot of people struggle with who care about follower counts (you shouldn’t) is that without algorithms you really have to embrace the humble dignity of being a reply guy no matter what size your account is

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.
This is the second verified incident I've heard about.
We were here 1st.

In an age where compassion requires permission and truth wears a price tag, we watch our democracy drain away while the skies burn orange and the wealthy retreat to their climate-controlled fortresses, leaving the rest to choke on the ashes of what we once called progress.

Citizens are in a state of permanent anxiety...
The White House late Friday fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies in a purge that could clear the way for President Donald Trump to install loyalists in the crucial role of identifying fraud, waste and abuse in the government.
Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

Orwell warned us that totalitarianism doesn't always march in wearing uniforms - sometimes it wears suits, controls media narratives, rides golden elevators, has hands where they don't belong, and claims to speak for the common man." This feels more prophetic with each passing year. #demsky

"Pardon me? I'll pass," says 'MAGA Granny' Pamela Hemphill, rejecting Trump's J6 pardon. The former Proud Boys ally now calls MAGA "a cult" and likens it to addiction: "When you're in denial, you get real upset." From prison to perspective - she backed Harris in '24. Talk about a plot twist.
