Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

2/2 Each offensive, cruel, ignorant, senseless statement or act is a piece in the mosaic and it is shrapnel from the blowing up of all standards, norms, and institutions we depend upon. Failure to appreciate this betrays a very small mind and a narrow perspective.

Just saw a post saying that Bill Maher sees media coverage of ballroom construction as example of over the top reaction... WTF. It is ALMOST NEVER just about the one thing. The reaction is to the cumulative impact, the pattern, the consequences, or the underlying perspective and motivation. 1/2

Sometime I wish I believed in Hell and a righteous God so that I could think that Trump and his minions would at least ultimately get their just reward.
But increasingly, it seems, evil and malicious cruelty pay dividends while innocents suffer.
Fight back. Resist. Defy.

ICE - If you feel that you need to hide your face when you are doing 'your job', maybe you should stop doing it.
Posters - if you don't want to be accountable for your words, maybe don't say it.
Trump and minions - since you really hate government, get the fuck out of ours!

As long as ICE continues snatching people off the streets without warrants, the US government can be considered a state sponsor of terror.
It has the moral standing of the Guidance Patrol in the Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Welcome to the police state, America!

"I don't know anything about that", "I just heard", "I haven't read/seen/heard that." or any variant of "I have no recollection" are NOT VALID RESPONSES from officials or nominees on topics they should be able to address.
It's clear evidence of ignorance, lying, or incompetence. Not qualified!

Members of ICE should understand by now that while they may have started their job as law and order enforcers, they HAVE been reduced to instruments of state-sponsored political terrorism.

We've officially transitioned from the era of tasteless, mindless, fake Reality TV to a government mired in and propagating tasteless, mindless, fake TV Reality.
This is NOT a good thing!

We owe Trump supporters the respect that we expect ourselves.
Listen to what they say. Take them seriously. Assume they understand what they are supporting.
Only then, apply standards of decency, morality, rationality, and humanity. Respectfully, thoughtfully, honestly.
See clearly. And resist.

Are you DEPLORABLE? Do your own research!
Do you hate without reason?
Do you accept the worst lies and deny the most basic truth? Do you deny others' rights while demanding your own?
Can you see yourself in Trump or Musk or Hegseth or Miller?
Honestly? What does 'deplorable' mean to you?

Hegseth is a manifestation of Trump's decision-making, so Trump will not admit his failure by firing. I would guess that continuing revelations of unfitness will convince others to force him to resign, blaming the media for 'unfair coverage' and 'distractions' making it impossible to do the job.

It* IS class warfare!
Problem is, the poor haven't realized it yet.
*All claims of reduction of government by Trump admin are actually ploys to privatize and profit off working class. Firing people making a reasonable wage to push them into lower wage jobs to work for billionaires.

Bait: hundreds of illegal acts target distinct people, institutions, or policies that 45 years of incessant lies and propaganda from right wing media have demonized.
Trap: specific outrage at each individual transgression parried by more demonization and lies diffuses awareness of cumulative harm.

The Leader of the Free World has abdicated the role -- he drags the nation into the same position of fealty to a foreign autocrat that he has adopted. The old world order has ruptured. It will never be the same, even if it is somehow repaired and heals. The scars persist. Weakness persists. US 😢
