Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

I think what pisses me off most about Venezuela is Trump knows Congress would authorize damn near anything he wants to do there. The fact that he knows that and still didn't ask is just a reminder that he's a dictatorial piece of shit. No Kings.

Trump's storm troopers outside a US high school dressed like they're in a war zone. They've killed multiple people since Trump took office.

Americans may be shot at a protest, in church, at school or, if you're not white, at a traffic stop. It takes extraordinary courage to live in this country.

We don't need to protest GOP fascism. We just need to wait them out as they die from the new RFK diet where whole grains are bad for you and red meat and cheese is the best. Dumb motherfuckers.

We should be handing out impeachments to these evil fuckers like free cars at some Oprah event.

Typical GOP President when you hire police rejects, racist shit heels, and other sociopaths and then arm them, mask them, and turn them loose on blue state communities so they carry out violence and terror.

The only police officer shooting Republicans won’t reflexively defend is one that involved a woman who broke through police barricades and stormed the US Capitol with a huge mob ranting and raving to forcibly overturn a lawful presidential election.

Any Democrat still afraid to say "Abolish ICE" should resign and be replaced with someone who gets it.

The Third Reich is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Poland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?
January 7, 2026 at 4:54 PM
Any effort to take Poland by force or coercion is as ridiculous as it is dangerous.

It would threaten our alliances and do nothing to help Germans here at home afford groceries.

Hitler ran on lowering costs. It’s time he acted like it.

Maduro must be looking for a Melania documentary to fund or some kind of shit coin to buy or maybe a down payment on a new fake gold Trump phone. Something, anything.
January 7, 2026 at 3:59 PM
Trump isn't just minting a coin to celebrate 25 years since the Global War on Terrorism began. He's starting his very own set of wars for oil. He wants his own doctrine named after him. The ghosts of the psycho cold warriors that brought us the Bush years must be talking to him in his sleep.
January 7, 2026 at 2:04 PM
Trump 2.0 has always felt like Bush 3.0 to me. Watching the GOP psychos go on TV and pivot from "nation building is bad" to "we have a right to do whatever we need to protect our freedom" happened the same way back then. The worst part is Democrats still don't know how to talk about it.

The Republicans want you to forget about Jan. 6 because they've been continuing the coup ever since. Do not forget.
This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the Capitol
Its whereabouts aren't publicly known, though it's believed to be in storage.

It's doubtful that even a Democratic Congress would hold him accountable over war. We learned our lesson about that after Bush.
When the news media say the U.S. attack on Venezuela “raises legal questions,“ that’s code for “the president is violating the law, but no one is going to stop him.”
January 4, 2026 at 2:27 PM
It's not too hard for Democrats to message on this shit show: "Trump has illegally attacked another country and if our current Congress won't hold him accountable then we will replace them with leaders who will."
