Funny but true: We have no idea where a lot of that money goes. I suppose into the pockets of certain military "contractors" who sell the military $1,000 shoe laces.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

This just cannot go on any longer

Trump and his incompetent and dangerous administration are destroying our democratic institutions

They must be removed - now -

It’s done / enough

Trump is a lying, conning crook; it's as simple as that.

So we're basically wiping out 250 years of science, education, and progress for a man-baby in a diaper who is the living embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Yay.

Gavin Newsom talks with Trump in LA

Gavin Newsom: β€œTrump is one of the most destructive presidents & human beings in my lifetime β€” I think this republic is at real risk of this country being unrecognizable β€” I have no patience for people who want to indulge it. This guy is reckless. He has wrecked this country”

#Trump: A+++++

Just as in all their rulings. With pages filled with nonsensical bullshit. Does anyone really think that there is any valid reason to continue pretending that the Court is a rational arbiter of the law?

Gary Ridgeway is a US serial killer, having killed over 49 people. Pete Hegseth easily beats his record and is arguably the most prolific serial killer in US history.

A reminder that he has virtually unrestricted nuclear launch authority as you watch all the unhinged, racist, and sexist shit that Trump is spewing.

How did the stupid cunt end up being elected president...twice? Can we prevent this from happening again?

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

The supposed legal justifications for these boat strikes just don't make sense

Even in war you can’t target civilians

Experts across party lines agree: this looks like murder

We need the memo, the full video & an investigation

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

He's a serial killer. What Manson did was child's play in comparison.

True, but, as President it is his fucking job to take the time to learn and understand the challenges facing US residents. The fact that he makes zero effort to do that tells me he should be fired for not doing his job. Like we normal people would be! 🀬

I believe murder should be illegal. I know this concept is hotly debated right now, with many claiming murder is OK if they are rich, republican, in charge of the military or the nation, or if they really, really, want to do it. But I've always felt murder was a morally dubious act.

We all know that Donald Trump could never have been president without Fox News
They are as responsible as any other force for all the terrible shit happening in this country. I need all of you to help me spread awareness about our effort against Fox.

A Constitution that allows the option to "not follow it" with zero consequences, is a failure and needs to be rebuilt from the ground

I'm sure Ukrainians are grateful that Trump has taken the time to tell them how to run their nation. 😏
