I see people making the point that if this keeps going, we won't have a nation.
But if we have a system incapable of bringing criminals to justice for their criminal acts, without fear or favor, then we ALREADY don't have a nation.
Like I said. Not our friend. Never was. Russia understood the assignment. Manipulate America through exultation of white supremacy and dude bro culture wars.
Worked like a charm
#MadmanTrump is still gleefully kissing Putin's arse while Putin tells Iran where to target our military. Republicans are watching the devastation and death and doing nothing. And Zelenskyy is between a rock and a hard place in all of this. Ugh.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.
Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter
Is this bad? It seems bad.
Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina,
GET OUT AND VOTE!
2026 MIDTERM PRIMARY ELECTIONS ARE BEING HELD IN YOUR STATE TODAY!
More than ever to VOTES COUNT!!!!
GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS HEALTH CARE.
Thank you to the NY Attorney General’s Office for affirming our community.
Trump has nearly secured his position as dictator.
He openly ignores courts and Congress.
He has a massive state propaganda network.
He has his own private army.
He has a controlled opposition party.
Intelligence and military have shown little pushback.
And he is working on elections.
Seems to be the pattern…

When fascists take rights away from a group of people, they never stop there. Eventually, they come for everything. Invalidating the drivers licenses of trans people in Kansas is just the start. Who will be next?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.
If you aren’t working against fascism, you are working for it.
History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.
There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations.
The establishment wants us to not focus on this.
Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.
"Donald Trump is not the disease of our politics, he’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows big corporations to buy and sell politicians in ways that leave them rigging the system against us."

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
The Democratic Party is not an opposition.
They continue to talk big and do nothing.
This nation fell because of their inaction OR collaboration.
They are looking at files and being “outraged”.
It’s perfect for their “politics”.
From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔
I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.
Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.
We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.
This is something significantly bigger and scarier.
Congress isn’t doing their job. The media isn’t doing their job. The Supreme Court isn’t doing their job. The military isn’t doing their job. The president surely isn’t doing his job.
It’s almost as if the United States government is conspiring against their citizens on purpose.
🤔
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

He tells us what he’ll do.
We laugh, then it happens.
He promised invasion; he invaded.
He promised troops at home; they’re here.
He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets.
He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections.
This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan.
Stop laughing
“Minnesota's nickname is the North Star State due to its motto "L'Etoile du Nord," which was adopted in 1861.
Minnesota is the North Star State. ✨
Consider this fact whenever you're feeling despair at what's happening in our country right now. Follow our North Star.”
