A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

A WP reporter's home was searched. There'll be some outrage. But it'll become normalized. Then, some reporters will be rounded up, sent to a facility somewhere, and no explanation will be given. And that'll be normalized, too. We'll become desensitized.

Trump’s goal is to force the resistance into obedience. He has stated that beginning February 1, his administration will deny federal funding to any state that is home to local governments resisting his immigration crackdown carried out by ICE.
Trump threatens to halt federal money next month not only to sanctuary cities but also their states
President Donald Trump says that his administration is planning to halt federal payments to "sanctuary cities" and the states where they're located starting Feb. 1.

Apparently, it is now acceptable to attain a new status in life, simply by proclamation.

I hereby declare I am a 6' 2", 27 yr-old EGOT winner who is currently dating Taylor Swift.

Thank you for your attention to our delusions.

This is the same playbook Trump used with banks & other investors for decades. Get them so deep into your mess that they end up even worse if they allow you to fail. So he argues they have to stick with him or everything will fall apart and be a disaster. Too leveraged to fail.

Does this include the Trump organization, whose Azerbaijani property laundered money for oligarchs with ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard?
So a new 25% tariff on China and India effective immediately? When do these new tariffs start getting collected? This is on all goods from those countries immediately? What about the limited trade deal we just made with China? That’s over now or is this just more bs?

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.

But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

Energy Bills around the USA are going through the roof because of the new AI Data Centers.

They pay fixed subsidised rates for their Energy.

You pay all the extra costs of your energy and their Energy and lots of extra profit for the Energy Companies on top.

Isn't that nice?
