I can't believe the voters gave this guy control again. It's a self-own for the ages. And a curse upon all humanity.

We aren't boycotting the arts; we are refusing to entertain fascists and white nationalists. Cry harder about it while you listen to Kid Rock and try so hard to pretend it isn't basic, boring, uninspired tripe.

This is the 7th person whose sentence was commuted by Trump that has been rearrested on new charges. And don't pretend Trump cares about fraud in MN. This guy bilked over a $1 billion and Trump let him go.
Screenshot of an X post by BigBlueWaveUSA claiming Trump pardoned Philip Esformes, described as a Minnesota healthcare fraudster. Below the post is a linked NBC News image showing a smiling man in a suit posing at a formal event.

Republicans claim they’re better for the economy, but it hasn't been true for a century. Don't fall for it. They're better for the wealthy and that's it.
Screenshot of an X post referencing a 2021 New York Times analysis comparing economic outcomes under Democratic and Republican presidents. Below the text is an image of the NYT headline reading, “Why Are Republican Presidents So Bad for the Economy?” with a subhead about GDP and job growth.

It's only “DEI” if it comes from liberal coastal cities. Otherwise it's just sparkling white supremacy.
Screenshot of an X post by user Covie arguing that hiring a 31-year FDNY veteran to lead the department is labeled “DEI,” while criticizing another political appointment as lacking merit.

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.
Screenshot of an X post by Stephen Miller stating he watched the Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra Family Christmas with his children, followed by a political comment about immigration. A video still from the classic television special appears above the text.

A monumental waste of money, all to try to trick U.S. evangelicals into continuing to support Trump as a “protector of Christians.”

A long way to say, “He lied to the voters.”

Screenshot of multiple X posts discussing the appointment of Lillian Bonsignore as FDNY commissioner. One post lists her credentials, including 31 years of FDNY service and senior leadership roles, followed by the phrase “but she’s gay.” Another post questions her qualifications, stating she never served as a firefighter.

And the LGBTQ+ pick has 31 years as a veteran of the FDNY. Sheesh.
Screenshot of an X post criticizing the appointment of an FDNY commissioner, accompanied by a photo of a uniformed male official holding up a badge next to a woman at a podium during a public event. The post claims a straight white woman previously held the role without being a firefighter.

Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.
Screenshot of a Brennan Center for Justice post reporting that private prison company GEO Group allegedly forced immigration detainees to work without pay. The image shows a car parked outside a fenced detention facility with barbed wire.

Sinatra has gone woke
Civil rights activism From the 1940s Sinatra refused to perform for segregated audiences. In Las Vegas he forced the Sands to serve Nat King Cole in the dining room and, with Sammy Davis Jr., ended Jim Crow policies in Nevada hotels and casinos by 1961. 9! He headlined Carnegie Hall for Martin Luther King Jr. in 1961, led Rat Pack boycotts, donated heavily to SCLC and voter registration, and was praised by Vice President Humphrey after the Watts riots for teaching tolerance."] Orson Welles witnessed Sinatra physically threaten a restaurant owner who refused service to a Black musician.

Filming them committing terrorism is now itself an act of terrorism?

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

I don't recall a time when saying Merry Christmas was ever banned under Biden or Obama. How strange.

A chyron reads, “DEMS LET TDS RUIN THEIR CHRISTMAS.”

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.
Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.
