Eric Trump said of the MAGA movement, “We’re saving Christianity. We’re saving God. Pictured below are 1) Trump’s ICE thugs shooting a Chcago pastor in the head with a pepper ball while the pastor prayed, and 2) ICE thugs shooting an Oakland pastor in the face with a flash bang grenade.

In the midst of a government shutdown, Trump’s main concern is getting his fancy ballroom built so he and his billionaire friends can have bigger taxpayer-funded parties. You aren’t invited.

The idea that ICE is taking dangerous people off the streets to keep us safe is false. They are abducting ordinary nice people to concentration camps and disappearing them. It’s ethnic cleansing. It is all of our responsibility to oppose this fascist regime and do what we can to stop this evil.

To be a Trump supporter this week means to believe that what the Zionists have done to Gaza is not genocide but that Portland, Oregon has been “war ravaged” by “Antifa”.

Snopes fact checked the claim that Charlie Kirk championed the killer Kyle Rittenhouse (pictured here wearing a vulgar T-shirt whilst hanging out with members of the violent fascist gang the Proud Boys at a Wisconsin bar) as a “hero to millions.” It turns out the claim is 100% true.

We're seeing this all over the country. Trump's ill-conceived and reckless tariffs are causing companies to 1) cut costs by freezing hiring to offset the hits they are taking from the tariffs, and 2) halt planning and hiring because of the uncertainty caused by the tariffs.

On the campaign trail Donald repeatedly bragged that if elected, he’d end the war within the first 24 hours. His supporters, against all evidence to the contrary, like deluded cult members, chose to believe he is a great “deal maker.” Here we are more than 200 days later, and still no “deal.”

In 1863, two white settlers, a father and son, murdered Dakota leader Little Crow while Little Crow was peacefully gardening. The state paid the father $500 for killing Little Crow, and $75 to the son for turning in Little Crow’s scalp. ICE is carrying on in this heinous white settler tradition.

And U.S. support for this ongoing genocide is thoroughly bipartisan. Thoroughly evil. It is based on the willful and racist refusal of the U.S. ruling class to see Palestinians as human beings.

This is what strength looks like. Trump blowing hot air and masked ICE thugs bullying and abusing people are the image of weakness and cowardice.

As a veteran, I say to any young people who are considering military service: don’t. You don’t want to be in a position in which you have to carry out the orders of fascist thugs who have no honor like Trump, Hegseth, and their handpicked yes men.
