This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

Everyone is pretending this shit is new. Bush normalized grabbing people without judicial review and letting them rot in a foreign gulag and we all waved our flags in patriotic fervor. We’re just bringing his policies to bear at home. Trump is just Bush but without filters.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

I saw a Tesla with a “I bought this before I knew Musk was a N*zi” sticker. And I realized that’s what all of us with “I didn’t vote for this” signs look like to the rest of the world. They’re still driving a Tesla, we’re still driving the US…

They are conflating trade imbalance with tariffs. And trade imbalance is a ridiculous measure. No country consumes as much as America, so very, very few countries will ever be able to buy as much as we do.

It is telling that there is massive Republican consternation over the tariffs, but none over the fact that we are rounding up people without evidence or due process and sending them to torture prisons in a foreign nation.

The highest tariffs have been levied against a tiny African kingdom of Lesotho. Why? Levis operates a factory there, and Levis is one of the companies that has refused to bow down to trump’s anti-DEI agenda.

Increase in deficit by president:

Trump 1: 39.2%
Bush 1: 42.3%
Obama: 64.4%*

Can we all finally agree that trickle-down economics, lowering taxes for the rich, and de-regulation is a load of shit?

The reason I would never have bought a #tesla pre-dates anything he did with Doge. I’m still never going to buy one even when he’s kicked out of the fake cabinet position. He’s still a far-right extremist and I refuse to support him in any way.

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these:

1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps.
2. We decide who enemies are.
3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos.

"Even those who expected the worst from his reelection (I among them) expected more rationality. Today, it is clear that what has happened since January 20 is not just a change of administration but a change of regime—a change, that is, in our system of government. But a change to what?"

Hey #Greenland. Honestly, think of what you could have if we colonized you. Like, you could exchange free health care for medical bankruptcy. Or exchange integrity and truth with moral bankruptcy. All kinds of bankruptcy options is what I’m saying.
