violence on its people.
The country is watching.
The world is watching.
Stay strong. Stick to your non-violent discipline.
Resist. Ridicule. Refuse.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest β using photos of South America
A federal judge had blocked Trumpβs request to deploy California national guard to Portland
Republicans are horrible people everywhere. The Oregon Republican Party is LYING about violence in their own state to support the Trump Military Invasion. They posted composite photos from South America & lied they were from Portland. Every Republican is garbage. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I've been banging this drum for the past four months or so: DOGE and Russ Vought broke the appropriations process. What's the point of going through the arduous process of crafting 12 spending bills, clearing them through committee and getting them through two chambers if Trump does rescissions?

Every member of the Trump Regime constantly lies. We literally cannot believe one word from any of them. The details of this incident have changed daily. Noem lied & said she was armed w/ an assault rifle. She was unarmed. DHS lied and said they were surrounded by 10 cars. A lie. No accountability.

Iβm talking about the 2 years we had Democratic control. Hereβs one example of dozens. Dems talked about Trump invoking the Insurrection Act in his 1st term. Then he literally led an insurrection. The wording of the Insurrection Act is very vague. They should have strengthened it. They make laws.

Blue states need to withhold their residents federal income taxes directly into their own separate account. And as a self employed person, I wonβt pay taxes to this government. Trump gutted the IRS. They donβt have the staff to find me.

Trump is a sociopath. He wants domination over all βopponentsβ which means everyone who didnβt vote for him & total erasure of Joe Biden WHO BEAT HIM BY 7 MILLION VOTES. Canceling renewable energy projects funded under Biden meets his Fβed up goals. Trump does not care about Americans. Even MAGAts.

Colorado Governor queries why Trump would cancel clean energy, job creating projects that will help US residents & the planet. Simple. Trump is a sociopath who wants to erase any vestige of Joe Biden cuz his fragile ego canβt handle the truth. JOE BIDEN BEAT TRUMP BY 7 million votes in 2020.

The Trump adminβs illegal, vindictive cancellation of CT clean energy grants will only raise energy costs, reduce electricity reliability & create more pollution. Iβm writing to DOE Sec. Wright demanding answers about this reckless, revengeful action.

Trumpβs EPA & Dept of Energy are illegally clawing back billions in clean energy grants already awarded by Congress. These provide jobs & cheaper renewable energy. Initially Trump was just punishing blue states, but then remembered he hated the entire planet and is canceling red state projects too.

Trump is starting a Civil War because he is the lead sociopath in a cabal of sociopaths who want total control over all aspects of American society. Trump hasnβt faced consequences for any of his crimes. His role in sex abuse of minors wonβt be any different. He still hasnβt paid E Jean Carroll.

ICE has made Chicago restaurants lose business, detained and deported their workers (without due process), and turned their city into a pawn for Donald Trump. Of course they donβt want ICE in their businesses.
Maybe try McDonaldβs. The Orange Fat Boy loves it there!
