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.

Congratulations to Russia and China.

You did it! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

People want to have their basic needs met.

They want to be paid a living wage.

They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.

They do not want Venezuela.

They do not want Greenland.

They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Bernie nails it again. So I'll state this again. The end goal of an oligarchy is a fascist state. Three essential actions:
Hoard the wealth.
Own the means of production.
Own the means of communication. (The media is lying to you.)
America -- You. Are. Here.

Let's end this now.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

Fascist leaders move quickly to establish a paramilitary force loyal to the the regime.
They become a law unto themselves.
ICE is now the largest Federal agency free from oversight and accountability. Are we surprised that they are shooting civilians in the streets?

JD Vance, who, speaking from the White House podium on Thursday, puffed his chest and said: “Ramming an ICE officer with your car, that’s what justifies being shot.”
They couldn’t care less about Renee Good’s killing
A disdain for facts and the reflex to taint a dead woman crystallize a new level of grotesqueness.

Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control.

Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.
