Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone' Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

PORTLAND, Ore. β€” A small group of federal agents in camouflage and face masks watched from atop the immigration processing center Thursday night as a unicorn, peacock, dinosaur and raccoon danced to Cher’s β€œIf I Could Turn Back Time.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job US president’s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the app’s board

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Republicans try to weaken 50-year-old law protecting whales, seals and polar bears

One of the U.S.’s longest standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction, is the subject of an effort for cutbacks from Republican lawmakers who now feel they have the political will to do so

Republicans feel empowered by their leader's autocratic coup against the Constitution to pursue their most cartoonishly evil agenda items, like literally making it easier to kill seals and whales

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam β€œSubu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧡)

Our brains aren’t very good at differentiating familiarity from the truth, so the more we see and hear misinformation, the more likely we are to believe it.

For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the β€œGerman Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.  
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake β€œmass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these β€œuseful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.
