Homan de-escalation.

US political press corp so fundamentally broken and beholden to Trump access dopamine.

Homan instigator of cruel family separation policy in Trump I.

ICE and CBP are a clear and present danger to us all. They must be abolished and reformed.

We need lustration eliminating white racial authoritarianism like Germany after 1945. Under any president.

And Miller, Noem/Lewandowski, Homan and Bovino et al. must be held accountable.

Criminals. ICE operates like a white supremacist death squad and those complicit need to be held accountable.

+1. Abolish ICE.

Arrest and try Noem, Lewandowski, Homan, Miller and Bovino et al.

Truth and Reconciliation. No to white supremacist Death Squads.

Fascism doesn't change at the borders.

Americans say the word but still aren't fully internalizing its realities. Not really.

“President Maduro, you are advised of your right to buy a pardon. If you can not afford a pardon, a Trump Admin crypto advisor will be appointed for you. Any and all statements that you make can and will be used in evaluating your pardon application.”

Honorable Mention:

When Godzilla had enough of MAGA and laid the smackdown on Trump Admin. In IMAX and 3D with Dolby Atmos (TM).

(We return now to regularly scheduled programming. Cheers!)

America digs in and begins to finally push back against MAGA fascism.

America digs in and begins to finally push back against MAGA fascism.

When America finally began to wake up to this dangerously stupid nihilism of white racial authoritarianism.

That time of year to review graphics shared from the Gallery in 2025.

A few favorites. Very short thread. If one of yours omitted, let me know.

First, Trump’s threat of national military occupation of US Blue cities. Mercifully, they failed (so far). To last verse Dylan’s “Hard Rain”.

@jgmaber.bsky.social Failure of UA 2023 Counteroffensive allowed regime to postpone economic scissors crisis under 'War Putinism' using trad Western techniques.

Putin's war to change post 1949/92 order, UA as stepping stone/proxy -a means. Trump Admin gifting much to that end. VVP plays players.

FBI arrested Zarubina in late Nov. 2025. She served as a spotter for FSB to identify journalists, academics and military personnel for follow up contact. A role similar to that famous Russian Maria Butina played previously.

DC based CSIS think tank said to have listed her as a Fellow, etc.

Putin has no rational incentive to alter his public maximalist criteria for a peace agreement.

The US and West are negotiating with themselves over Ukraine.

🇪🇺 €90 billion loan unwelcome to 🇷🇺 but West/US have done nothing to reverse ground truth favoring Moscow.

A perhaps overly generous graphic. Maybe this more accurate… 😉

When I was in Moscow during Soviet collapse and Fall, Russian ‘patriots’ raged against Soviet Union in this exact phraseology.

Russia made Baltics and Ukraine rich w subsidies. “Russian money for Russians”etc. And same xenophobia against migrants. Many of those today rage against Soviet collapse.

Jeff, I’ll unfollow you simply because you have a glass jaw and willfully misread people who disagree with you. Be well.

We disagree. As one who has been involved in operational Movement politics from CA, Kansas City to Mass and Capitol Hill, including w Newt early 1995 at 1:30 AM after his cable show, and evangelicals nationwide and witnessed the obvious racial authoritarian impulse and called them on it at the time.

Agree in part. My first WH meeting was with David Gergen in Reagan I. Difficult to imagine more regressive Admin pre 2017, 2025.

Leftist purity tests via Chomsky and Sanders will not work on a national level for progressive future.

Operational politics ≠ online abstraction.

If one is running for national office and seems to peel away or de motivate Reagan type voters appalled at Trump this is smart politics.

Newsom is not going to embrace his domestic agenda.
