Context matters. @aftynbehn4tn was protesting a child sex abuser who had admitted it. Now Republicans are attempting to shame her for it.

MAHA screams “Make America Healthy Again,” and Trump responds by killing a clean-air rule that prevents heart and lung disease. Their whole “health” movement is nothing but a swaggering contradiction poisoning the country while pretending to save it.

And some congresspeople complained they were wire taped…
The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile?

Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.

The grift never ends.
The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.

Trump is so fucking easy to manipulate, while lives and nations hang in the balance.
Hilarious to see Trump aide Steve Witkoff coach Yuri Ushakov, the top foreign policy aide to Putin, on how to butter up the perpetually praise-needy, Donald Trump. They all know he’s a thirsty pushover if given enough false flattery.

The UN votes to condemn torture. Nearly every nation on Earth says “no more.” And who proudly stands WITH torture? The U.S., Israel, and Argentina under Trump. If you ever wondered what “American values” look like in MAGA-land, here’s your map: cruelty as policy, torture as identity.
