And this is why they are ramping up the violence and murder. They know they are despised.

Terror is their way of trying to control the masses.
This is an incredibly weak regime. Remember that always.
Trump is now at 36% approval rating and it hasnt even been a year.

Wow.

Surprise! The “peace plan” is really just a plan for Trump, Witkoff, Don Junior and their friends to get rich.

Everything is a grift. (And the Hunter hunters are silent)

THIS IS BULLSHIT‼️

Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.

They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

Trumps entrance to We Are the World, the song produced specifically to raise money to fight famine in Africa, is the biggest middle finger to anyone not in that ballroom — f’ing disgusting.

He cut USAID and burned 500 tons of food. The projected death toll from his cruel policies are unimaginable.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.

Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.

We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

Would love to ask the folks who lined up before dawn at Target for a swag bag “filled” with goodies and walked out with a reusable grocery bag and a pack of Uno cards, “how does it feel to get played?”

I honestly do not know why anyone is still loyal to that store. This is hilarious though 😂

I'd heard that LinkedIn was the worst social media app and, wow, I've never had so many angry older white men show up to assert that they know my subject better than I do (while pointing to rudimentary artifacts that are part of my research but hardly definitive). The entitlement is f'in amazing!

And *major media* should be saying this. Because it’s a journalistic fact. Instead we’re seeing report after report that parrots Trump’s lie—that the only reason this man is in America is because Biden had a no-vetting immigration policy, a Through-the-Looking-Glass perversion of what happened here.

There is no excuse for what this man did. But the story to be told here is not one that has anything to do with Afghans, let alone non-white immigration to the U.S. generally. It has to do with the evil shit that happens in war, and that the U.S. often gets others to do, and how it destroys psyches.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

My god, I could write a dissertation on how demented just these two paragraphs of New York Times coverage of the DC shooting are.

The details of the shooting begin with Trump sending troops to do law enforcement in a city with plummeting crime. How does that "dovetail neatly" with anything he says?

The DC shooting is a Reichstag Fire.

Trump granted the man asylum this spring. Trump agreed with the program that brought him here in 2021. There was full vetting. Trump’s DC op is why this happened.

Now it’s being used to end all immigration from nonwhite countries. And undo the Biden presidency.
The Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House this week underwent thorough vetting by counterterrorism authorities before entering the U.S., according to people with direct knowledge of the case.
Counterterrorism officials vetted Guard shooting suspect before he entered U.S.
Individuals with knowledge of the process that Rahmanullah Lakanwal went through contradicted senior Trump officials’ claim that he was not scrutinized.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

"Ms. Borsook proposes a Silicon Valley Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
She imagines...confessions from the men who came up with the labels “sharing economy,” “disruptive innovation” and “thought leader.” The proceedings would, at the least, clear the air and provide greater understanding"
