Donald Trump’s threats to jail Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson are what autocrats do — not American presidents.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

More of this, please.

Dumb MAGA truck decal where Biden is tied up

Remember when MAGA cheered this image? Biden never declared them terrorists. He didn’t strip their schools of funding, defund their energy projects, or censor their speech. He didn’t post lame AI videos. He just did his job, invested in their states, and governed for everyone.
