Left AZ after retirement. In nice blue MA on a secluded pond. I believe in separation of church and state, Medicare and equal rights for all, all humans are precious and flummoxed that so many Americans voted for a con man that will strip their rights.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items β€œpotentially divisive.”

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols.

The fuck?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

If this nation had moral standards, a pedophile would not be allowed to host a murderer in the Oval Office.

We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

"They were careless people, Donald and Melaniaβ€”they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.

Yes, this is a real post made by the Department of Homeland Security.

None of this is normal.

No other president would make ugly, partisan political attacks while speaking to our troops. No other president would force our military to listen to such ugly partisanship. Our military is not partisan. It’s above all that. Shameful. Despicable. Un-American. That is Trump.πŸ‘‡

TEN YEARS AGO

WRITER: "How about a novel with a crazy president who can't stop talking about his new $300 million gold ballroom while millions of Americans go without food."

AGENT: "That's a little heavy-handed. No politician would be that stupid. Come up with a more subtle, believable scenario."

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

9 months back in power, and every branch of government now merged into one corrupt man. The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all nothing but autopens for a crook who’s doubled his fortune while Americans starve.

...

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

When people show you who they are, believe them.

And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.

This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

Tweet from the VP:
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been
overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most.
Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much
happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states.

This is completely unhinged.
