I wish it were as simple as them wanting to be "kings" or that it starts and ends with Trump, but it's far worse than that. They ALREADY were kings to us. Kings who needed us to spend coin and support them. With the rise of bots and AI, they don't need us anymore. They want to own us like livestock.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt).

It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainl

Trump's thugs aren't just abducting undocumented immigrants.

More than 170 American citizens — including children — have been detained and assaulted by ICE since he took office.

No one is safe. https://www.propublica.org/article/immigration-dhs-american-citizens-arrested-detained-against-will

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer."

JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo stating: “The UAE bought $2B of Trump’s crypto — and gets computer chips. Saudi Arabia gave Kushner $2B for a new Trump Tower — and gets weapons. Qatar gives Trump a private jet and a $5.5B real estate deal — and gets US military protection. This is how bribes work.” Below is an image of Donald Trump sitting across from the Emir of Qatar in a formal meeting room. Text overlay: “Quid Pro Presidency.”

The GOP spent years screaming about a manufactured Biden bribe but says nothing about this. Tells you all you need to know.

Bessent says bailout for Argentina will double to boost U.S. influence in region The Trump administration is working to arrange private sector financing for Argentina that would double the total U.S. financial lifeline for the embattled Latin nation.

20 billion dollars from the US Treasury **was not enough**. So now it's 40 billion dollars! And why stop there?

All while the US government is shut down.

"America First," amirite?

Taco changed his mind after accepting substantial bribes.

In the last 2 weeks MAGA aligned people have done 2 attempted mass shootings of a gay bar and pride center in Arizona and Texas, murdered 2 teenage girls for mocking Charlie Kirk, and torched a judge's home.

Meanwhile, the government mobilized the military to go after the left.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

Trump Orders Flags Half-Mast for Kirk, but Didn’t for Melissa Hortman Critics say the president is engaging in selective patriotism.

Another poor decision, no idea how to be president to all, such a bad look & message sent…

Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff after deadly shooting of Charlie Kirk, something he didn’t do when MN State Rep Melissa Hortman, Democrat, was assassinated months ago.

Just a reminder that Kamala Harris was a staunch supporter of privacy laws and expanding consumer/citizen protections around data security and privacy. Under Tr*mp, the govt and corporations are exploiting the shit out of your personal data for profit and oppression.

Obviously, there's bigger news happening right now, but Senate Republicans just voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every Democrat voted to release them. Susan Collins was the deciding vote to protect Trump and others named in the files.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Vance Boelter, a Trump, GOP voting Christian nationalist, was radicalized in part by QAnon, the same conspiracy promoted by Trump and Republicans, even though they knew it had radicalized others to commit violence.

Boelter had a hit list of 70 liberals. He killed Melissa Hortmann and her husband.

Casual reminder the state department is posting Christian nationalist ideology on social media 🥴 and Trump is on the #EpsteinList.

Don’t let the world forget!! Not a moment of peace for the fascists.

Just Trump declaring war on a US city, a normal Saturday
