Pick your side. History will not be kind to those who just stood by. Hint: the antifascist side is the correct one.

Trump’s violent and deranged “Truth Social” post where he says he will wage war on Portland, OR. “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Daily Mirror front page for today. Photo of Trump at the podium at the UN captioned “World’s most powerful man-baby.” It is also stamped “Deranged” at the bottom. Text says “Trump rants to UN about climate change, migrants, Gaza…escalators and teleprompters.”

If you are feeling bad just remember that all the newspapers already have Trump’s obituary written and ready to go.

How about if we open Alcatraz but only have one inmate — Donald Trump. Then the tourist industry can keep going for all of us who want to go see him in an old damp jail cell.

Tesla Takedown protest at Tesla dealership in Ottawa (Canada) today. This is a heavily travelled street and there was overwhelming support from those going by.
