They behave just like oligarchs everywhere

In a democracy they’re supposed to pay their proportionate share of taxes and then freely and fairly elected representatives of the people decide on funding of policy

Tariffs are not just hitting Americans — but American small businesses that can’t pick up the phone and get an exemption.

That is crony capitalism. That is what the Trump Administration has brought.

I know: he’s a racist authoritarian who’s running a militantly racist government constantly doing and saying racist things, carrying out a highly militarized campaign of ethnic cleansing and also doing anti diversity crackdown all over the place. And yet…his racist rhetoric IS getting worse, somehow

Why is House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries lying on Donald Trump's behalf?

The US-Mexico border was not insecure last year and secure this year. That is not true.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Trump is trying to set a world record today for the most white people gathered around a single desk

Pure terror tactics

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

U. of Alabama Suspends Black and Female Student Magazines, Citing D.E.I. Guidance

This is truly awful. I have served in the university media board for 3 years and saw how brilliant and committed the student editors of these magazines were to quality and integrity. This is such a loss for the university community at large. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

Pentagon says every national guard soldier deployed in Washington DC ‘is now armed’ Move to arm all 2,375 estimated troops marks shift in rules of engagement for domestic military deployments

The infrastructure of authoritarian rule always comes with “temporary measures” that mysteriously never expire & they escalate from there.

They’re folding the military directly into civilian law enforcement. Consolidated executive control backed by armed force is Nazi-level police state posture

Two screenshots. Top is homeland security post saying “Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area.” The bottom is excerpt from a speech by Hitler in 1922 in which he says Adolf Hitler speech, 1922 8. WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL JEWS WHO HAVE ENTERED GERMANY SINCE 1914, and of all those, too, who through trickery on the Stock Exchange or through other shady transactions have gained their wealth. 9. The housing scarcity must be relieved through energetic action; houses must be granted to those who deserve them. Eisner said in 1918 that we had no right to demand the return of our prisoners - he was only saying openly what all Jews were thinking. People who so think must feel how life tastes in a concentration camp! Extremes must be fought by extremes.

DHS’s post suggesting “if you help kick people out of the country you’ll be able to afford housing” is OG Nazism.

Eric Trump’s cryptocurrency firm loses half its value in half an hour American Bitcoin Corp’s shares fell from $2.39 to $1.90 after closing in what some are calling ‘crypto winter’ Shares in Eric Trump’s crypto mining business lost more than half their value in less than 30 minutes on Tuesday. The nosedive of American Bitcoin Corp, which triggered repeated trading halts, followed the steep decline of many cryptocurrencies and crypto-linked companies into what some observers are calling the onset of a “crypto winter”. Bitcoin’s value has fallen sharply since the start of October and erased a year of large gains. Continue reading...

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Under Trump, the NIH is giving fewer grants to fewer scientists. The grants awarded are smaller and scientists have less time to spend them.

Projects in cancer, diabetes, aging, neurological disorder, and more are going unfunded.

“Make America Healthy Again.”

Psychotic Trump made 162 posts last night on Truth Social, one more deranged than the other.
