A Super Bowl Message From MAHA and Mike Tyson: β€˜Processed Food Kills’

People seem to forget that Tyson is a convicted rapist. On-brand for this administration, I guess.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Miller and Noem also defamed the victim and lied about the circumstances of his murder.

They all have to go.

Right now normie places are spitting mad about the murder. Miller is a viscerally unpleasant person who says unhinged shit on national television regularly. Seems like a campaign to flood social media with reels of his worst shit edited together would be handy, to pick one idea that occurs to me

Too many have died. Trump can fire or demote whoever he wants, but the buck stops with him.

There must be accountability for everyone involved.

When you try to explain you don't have Alzheimer's, and you forget the word "Alzheimer's."

Yes, pedantic people, I know forgetting words doesn't mean you have Alzheimer's, it's just remarkable given the full court press to convince us Trump isn't losing his shit in plain sight.

As we continue to mourn the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we also must lift the stories of the 32 people who died in ICE custody just last year.

In December, 6 people died in ICE’s custody β€” the deadliest month in the history of the agency.

It is shameful, and it must end.

Deploying Homan to Minneapolis is about optics, not safety. Minnesotans deserve peace, not boots on the ground. ICE needs to get out of our cities now.

β€œSo the government didn’t just use masked, armed, unidentified agents of the state to execute a citizen on the street, in broad daylight and in front of dozens of witnessesβ€”it lied about the victim and what happened in the most brazen manner possible.”

Trump’s ICE Goons Detained a 5-Year-Old. Then JD Vance Made It Worse. Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that JD Vance tried to "soften" things in Minneapolis. He blamed the left for ICE violence and called the 5-year-old's father an "illegal alien" even though he's lawfully applying for asylum.

MSNOW headline: News Trump administration plans to deport 40 Δ°ranians days after mass killings in Iran Two of the deportees are gay and terrified of returning to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, their lawyer says.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands.

An administration of total inhumanity.
