Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

Electing him once was a national embarrassment.
Not punishing him for his crimes and allowing him to run again was negligence of the highest order.
Re-electing him ripped the mask off of how rotten the core of the US is.

You guys know how the owners of Anime Matsuri also own a bar called The Anime Bar outside of Houston? Seems they run that bar much like they run their conventions, because after a patron talked to the cops about how a friend's drink may have been drugged, an employee banned her from returning.

All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously.
But none of them has the balls to do it.

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California.
So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

Let's remember that MLK was assassinated while in Memphis supporting African American sanitation workers who were, despite CNN's weird definition, actually members of the working class.

Gavin Newsom's interview with Ben Shapiro is worse than I even thought it would be. Not even with regard to his opinions, but to his utter fecklessness. What's even the point of some bridge building podcast, if you're just gonna say "I see your point" to everything. he just can't be prez I'm sorry

While we're on the subject, I still see people falling for the framing that this is about deporting criminals or even that it's about immigration at all.
Red Texas and Florida have more immigrants than Minnesota.
This is about punishing people for not voting Trump.

I'm sure there's some focus group result behind Schumer's "invading Minneapolis and Greenland are distractions from the affordability agenda" & Sanders' "if we invade Greenland do we get national health care like Denmark?" approaches but 10 months before midterms you can say wrong things are wrong.

He's demanding control over a sovereign nation because they didn't give him THE NOBEL PRIZE. Why the actual fuck do we have a 25th Amendment?

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

But where the regime has sought to instill fear, they have instead inspired righteous fury. After all, hope is a mother.

ICE are nasty ass child kidnappers, like after school special style
Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.
