Tik Tok no longer viable social media since being purchased by Trump supporter.

Leave Tik Tok to the kids and the cats. Not for serious topics.

Stick to Blue Sky.

Good point.

They have shown they do not know what their job is or how to do it legally. They bring public hate towards this group.

So Bovino is getting the boot from Minnesota. About time.

Wow! The press secretary just inflamed the whole situation by her very slanted speech trying to equate the murder of Alex Pretti with a Jan 6 rioter who was killed by a police officer in an act of self-defence.

Her tone is always aggressive and self-righteous. Always inflames. Frequently lies.

Noem and Bovino lied about the actions of Alex Pretti. They are untrustworthy and should be fired or impeached.

No wonder people have no trust in the federal forces.

Loved this series. It had the whole Romeo-Juliet vibe. Forbidden love that succeeded anyway because characters were wiling to take risks. No one dies literally or figuratively though.

Actually, my favourite was the Scott Hunter character.

Great Canadian production.

Censorship is inevitable on this medium considering who is now in control. Abandon it.

No doubt about what happened. Choosing not to believe is lying to yourself.

About time to realize what is at stake--no not votes.

The "new threat" is the fascist take-over of all aspects of American life and government.

Not sure if all of these are accurate. He isn't 6ft 4 and his scale hasn't seen the number 220 in several years. Some of the others seem very likely--certainly have quietly contemplated a few others.

The corrupt Supreme Court--the "six" stand in the way of reform/reconstituting. There is not enough protection in the system to deal with a supreme court taken over by fascists.

Nothing is safe until this gets fixed.

The removal must go deeper. It is a good place to start.

Trump would not be well received at the Super Bowl. The hate the country feels for him would be difficult to disguise.

Sounds like CBS is on its way to becoming irrelevant. As soon as they drop Colbert, there will be nothing left to watch.

Well, that is one issue surrounding his death. There are many others.

Horrible. Needless unjustified murder. This administration should be charged for his death.

Placing these particular ICE thugs in Minnesota at this time was like throwing a match into a pile of straw. The goal was to escalate violence, not lower tension.

Throw in misstatements like "brandishing a weapon", "armed assassin", "seeking maximum damage,".

The administration wants violence.

The saddest thing about the murder of Alex Pretti is that the event unfolded as planned. It didn't matter that it was this specific young man, but he was ideal--someone whose innocent death would be so abhorrent that it would incite a riot.

Riot=insurrection act=no election=goal achieved.

26.01.2026 04:12 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

No question. This was murder with no consequences. This is Trump's America by the Trump, for the Trump and law and truth don't matter.

Makes sense. They can get together and ban some books, maybe shoot a few dogs.

And a wonderful young man had to lose his life for this? Pure evil in action.

Keep fighting Minnesota against this horrific injustice!

Isn't America proud that their citizens can carry guns?

Does it give ICE an excuse to murder them?

10 shots to murder this wonderful citizen?

Vance's statement is absolutely ridiculous as he most of the time.

Hopefully they now understand how wrong they were.

Through the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 Ukraine agreed to give its nuclear warheads to Russia (yes Russia) in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the US and the UK to respect its sovereignty.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has totally disintegrated under Trump and Putin.
