#Emboldened
2/2 I’m Asian. I just can’t let it go, not in this environment where racists feel emboldened. Took his picture after we were seated. He saw me do it which made all happy inside. Is this old trash worth exposing? No clue about social media posts, etc. Would appreciate ur thoughts & advice.

We have an emboldened, corrupt, convicted felon in the White House & #GOP are all in on it, so as I see people talk about things other than the #EpsteinFiles & * #Trump's * impeachment, I have no interest.
If removing a criminal as POTUS is NOT the highest priority, then nothing else matters.

When I say that our culture has decided that hate and bigotry are fashionable, this is what I’m talking about. People feel emboldened to boast about such offensive behavior.

In Case No One Told You, Racism Is A Sin
For the record, in case there was any doubt, racism is a sin. It may not be one of those sins you hear sermons about here in America...

I think if in two weeks the Dems are making more ambitious demands that this is a good thing and that if that's not the case and they don't act any more emboldened whatsoever then it is a bad thing.

A little over 11 months until we find out, and I am emboldened by the huge youth movement, finally. Boomers are with you, but we have to deal with the slippery slope at the same time.
We will need mail in ballots now more than ever.

ICESTAPO will surely be threatening our polling places.

(If we have elections)

*emboldened to spew on camera.

Just unabashed racism out in the open. Of America’s 250 years, we may have had 30 years, maybe, where public officials at least weren’t so emboldened to spew. Put this in black and white film, and you’d think it was the 1950’s. Not just ordinary men with bad politics, bad men with evil intentions!

Remember this

Mark Carney receives intelligence that Trump does not.

It may be the reason for his tone and content in his speech at Davos.

He would certainly know who is selling out from Alberta.

Pollieve may be one of them and it would explain why he feels emboldened not to step down.

Lurking in the shadows is so apt a description for Evil. They exist along the periphery until they are emboldened by their menace master into the forefront. Fortunately for us, that makes them much easier to identify. Good people know what to do, and they're doing it in Minnesota. Follow suit people

"The Minnesota resistance to ICE has been a bottom-up movement driven by constituents, who have emboldened their leaders to stand their ground." ❤️‍🔥
"The federal cowboys who flooded Minnesota streets actually ran headfirst into the state’s formidable civil society — a network of civically engaged people and organizations that makes this a risky place for the federal government to pick a fight with its own citizens," writes columnist Eric Roper
Roper: How Minnesota’s civic culture fueled a tough ICE resistance and took the feds by surprise
It’s not pleasant for people to go toe-to-toe with the federal government. But in this case, it’s very Minnesotan.

Practically didn't even get the presser wrapped up and there we are. Homan is the biggest goon of all. Unfortunately, he is probably slightly more competent than Bovino.
They appear to be emboldened?
🚨"They're stealing the car!"

As Tom Homan vows "safer" ICE operations, ICE rammed into a driver's car in Minneapolis—in front of an elementary school—then chased him. After failing to catch him—they stole his car. "Back up before I f*cking spray you!" ICE yelled at observers ⬇️

🇨🇦🇺🇸 This is what an emboldened Psychopath looks like…
BULSO: “Charlie Kirk’s assassination will have a similar effect on 🇺🇸 as JFK & MLK.” 🤔

Rep. Gino Bulso tells a Williamson County audience his bills attack 🏳️‍🌈 marriage & trans people, put prayer & the Bible as literature in K-12, and make 9/10 “Charlie Kirk Day”

Today’s news that separatists have been conspiring with U.S. officials to undermine Canada is deeply disturbing.

Smith emboldened separatists by cozying up to Trump, weakening our country at a fragile moment when we need to stand firmly against this.

These rogues were emboldened, they fear nothing and no one because Kristi, Homan and this corrupt administration have openly given them a pass! #ICEOUT and the supervisors as well! 🤬

-emboldened his views, but he had racist attitudes the whole time, even if they were more covert before.

This shit doesn't come out of nowhere. All you guys are admitting too is blowing off the indicators and dogwhistles all your fucking lives until now. Goes to show your privilege.

I always knew there were racists and unfortunate thinkers out there hiding in plain site.
Trump made them loud obnoxious and emboldened.
Trust nobody until vetted. 👠
I’m thankful for Trump

Without him I have never paid more attention to politics as I have in the last 10 years

I’ve never appreciated the rights I have as a US citizen

I’ve never thought our government would turn against it’s citizens

I was naive as to how stupid 30% of the population is

That is so foul that it is even being allowed to happen - the worst of the worst. I don't know how we ever balance what depravity seems to exist in our world now - and how emboldened they are in hate and intolerance. We have to teach too -but how.

Shrimpy also says that Sir Keir is so afraid of the MPs his team handpicked, that he has had to push back any kind of reform. Not that he is a naturally right-wing "pragmatist", who proactively elected to batter OAPs and kept kids poor, but otherwise sees absolutely nothing with the status quo ante
January 29, 2026 at 7:36 PM
Which means it will just come back worse than ever and more emboldened. And it will keep happening until there is real accountability and justice.

Well at least they caught it - but one has to wonder what emboldened a facility this large to allow rodent shit everywhere. people.com/thousands-of...
Pringles, Nutella, Cheerios Among Thousands of Products Recalled for Exposure to Rodent Waste
The company is urging consumers who purchased the affected products to “destroy the products as soon as possible,” per the recall announcement

Raichik’s strategy seems to be emboldened by the series of mass firings that occurred after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. She is spamming social media with details about individuals who have criticized ICE or spoken positively about Pretti in a seeming attempt to punish them...

Someone is always going to have their hands on the control of the American war machine. Trump’s re election almost certainly emboldened the Israeli security state to unleash even more violence.
