It was “protect the children” until it came to immigrant children.

It was “protect the children” until it came to gun violence.

It was “protect the children” until it came to food assistance.

It was “protect the children” until it came to healthcare.

It was never about protecting children.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

Renee Good should still be here.

She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.

She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

Are Americans really going to except a federal police state where masked men kill people in broad daylight with impunity? Really? The answer must be no.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Could it be more obvious that Trump is corruptly paying off his big fossil fuel donors at the public’s expense?

Squelching clean energy does the same, moving the grid to higher-cost fossil fuel plants.

Try it: COR-RUP-TION.

Easy word, and accurate.

No one should be surprised this lawless Trump DOJ violated the law by failing to release all the files. I can’t overstate how sickened, disgusted & infuriated I am by this criminal regime—and how much I believe these corrupt & felonious thugs need to be held accountable once Dems are back in power.

My original thought was it’s a horror that Trump is in office for America’s 250th anniversary. Now I’m pleased that we will be reminded by our founders every day in 2026 that they fought to free themselves from a tyrannical despot and we must, too.

What is seditious behavior? "Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." What an irony that Trump thinks this should be punished with death, since that's exactly what he was found guilty of for "incitement of insurrection" in his second impeachment.

Meanwhile, Trump purposefully drives up consumers’ electricity costs by suppressing clean energy on the grid, forcing grid operators to go to more-expensive fossil fuel units. Money goes straight from ratepayers’ pockets to his big fossil fuel donors. Sweet scam. apnews.com/article/trum...

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

New in PN: CNN shows that when media orgs fight Trump, they win

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark — both to your audience and to the guy grabbing you by the wallet. And with courts announcing they won’t be part of Trump's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up"

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

Today is just one long demonstration of the One Special Boy virus that has consumed our polity. Immediate presidency-ending stuff for anyone else from at least Truman to Biden. We're not even pretending to care about the law or the Constitution or any of the norms or duct tape anymore.

The message of Trump pardoning violent MAGA 1/6 rioters was always, “Violence to help me (even against police) is fine and I will have your back.”
