The Trump/Venezuela Plan: Because Trump admires and aspires to be a fascist dictator, he wants the US to attack Venezuela in order to take its oil reserves, its minerals, and other natural resources. Hence the campaign against the Venezuelan drug cartels. He wants a Ukraine he can call his own.

Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:
1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

When a Supreme Court Justice says that no rights are safe under the new legal framework created by the court, it is not merely an opinion — it is a profound warning that shakes the very foundation of democracy.
“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.
