Trump's DHS is arresting people first and asking questions later. This egregious use of force and racial profiling is cruel and should never happen in America.
There must be accountability.

Kash Patel got brand-new armored BMWs on his request.
The big story floating around is that FBI personnel are leaking these stories to take him down. But I’ve got other questions:
📌BMW? Why aren’t they buying American?
📌Does Patel have an unlimited expense account funded by our dime?

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Picking up your car from the bar the next morning isn’t a walk of shame—it’s a badge of honor. It means you made the smart call, got home safely, and kept the roads safer for everyone. Celebrate your choice, maybe with a cup of coffee.

We must operate under the assumption that EVERY redaction is a detailed account of Trump raping children. It's the only reasonable conclusion until he proves otherwise.
