So when exactly do the ‘checks’ and ‘balances’ part kick in?

Or is that just a fun little slogan like

‘thoughts and prayers’?

Well, that was close.

Or more likely it was total BS/market manipulation.
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: “A wake-up call for our American friends .. This is going to be very rough .. Your [auto] plants are going to go down in a week.”

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

Wait, a LIE?

*shocked pikachu face*
1. Trump's immigration crackdown is premised on the idea that the US is experiencing a massive surge in violent crime

According to Trump the crime wave is especially severe in cities

THIS IS A LIE

New data shows crime is LOWER than when Trump left office in 2020, and below pre-pandemic levels
Trump's fake crime wave
On January 19, during a rally held in Washington, D.C., President Donald Trump claimed that “crime has gone through the roof” and that it “was up like 40%.” He claimed that violent crime is especially...

There aren't many chances left for people with privilege to use it.
Not trans? Use your privilege to put yourself between trans folks and harm. Speak up. Stand up. Step in the way of bigots.

Here we are again. Issuing “policy” via social media. Official press releases referring to his posts. Incompetent staff that can’t even spell the country in question correctly. It’s Colombia.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”

“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”

“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”

“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”

Pause.

“I needed to make a statement.”

The US: Nobody can afford to buy anything, but Trump will fix it, even if coffee is now $25/lb

The rest of the world: coffee prices are finally coming down

Friday Night Massacre
This purge is bone-chilling and unprecedented. It’s straight out of the authoritarian’s playbook. Inspectors General are a vital, independent check on misconduct and abuse within the executive branch. Trump is ousting them so he can break the law with zero oversight.

Trump Fires 17 Inspectors General in Late-Night Purge
The internal government watchdogs were believed to have been dismissed at several major agencies, though the Justice Department’s was not said to have been among them.

This is a core tenet of the Nazi playbook.

Wait, why such a rush to condemn the salute? Shouldn't the ADL have responded with grace and perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and taken a breath?
Proof that Jonathan Greenblatt isn't incapable of condemning Nazi salutes. He's just currently choosing not to.
January 22, 2025 at 2:01 PM
Um. Right?

RIGHT?
The thing is, I feel like if someone truly, accidentally, & unintentionally made a n*zi salute on a national stage, they would be appropriately horrified by it and apologize. And when they don’t ….. it says everything.

Oh right, that part was all about suppressing Black people with instruments of the state.
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

"Stand back and stand by"

"We love you"
Americans overwhelmingly opposed this.

He did it because he wants to send a signal to far-right domestic extremists all over the country that he will soon call on them to again commit violence to keep him in power—and if they do so well enough, they will face no consequences.

The message is clear.

Guys, you're supposed to lick the boot, not deepthroat it.
How the @washingtonpost is covering Musk’s speech might be the most disturbing aspect of the whole thing👇🏽🤔

Q: “Are you commuting the sentences of anyone who assaulted a police officer on January 6?

Trump *dodges* — Then: “They’ve been in jail for a long time already.”

So, yes.
