When Trump said "I am your voice," this is who he was talking to.
Out of control idiots wearing masks and guns salivating over $50,000 sign on bonuses if they make their daily quotos and over the thrill of roughing up them foreigners for daddy Donny. Government cosplayers gone amuck with stupidity, violence, lawlessness. One hand doesn't know what other is doing.
One of the crisper articulations of Trumpism I've ever heard www.axios.com/2025/09/08/i...
Having a lot of trouble summoning sympathy for folks who now pretend they thought Trump was only going to go after violent criminal immigrants. It was alway obvious that wasn’t true. You just mean you didn’t think he’d go after white people.
If writing one bad check a decade ago is “moral turpitude” then I have some deeply troubling news about the President of the United States
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border. This is how the police dealt with them. Literally beat the hell out of them. This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

You are wrong. Honor and respect our military. The decrepit old gangster in our whitehouse is making a show of using our advanced and superior weaponry to take out a small boat and 11 people and crowing about it as if they are in a video game. The world laughs at the idiocy and weakness
These items—banning/reversing rescissions; restoring Medicaid; curtailing DHS overreach and illegality; implementing Russia sanctions; and setting up basic ethics requirements for all three branches—have broad popular support.
This is so humiliating for our military.
It’s time for Democratic leaders to fight or step aside for those who will. In the face of a would-be strongman, and incredible energy from rank-and-file voters, senior leaders of the Democratic Party in Washington still cannot seem to find the front of the battle line www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Activate the IL Nayional Guard to send the Texas Guard back to Texas. They have no legal standing to invade a sovereign state. Stay strong, Governor!
One thing that's particularly maddening about what's happening today—beyond that it's happening—is that when people talk about how we are moving toward authoritarianism, toward fascism, by a collection of narcissistic sociopaths, many Americans' eyes glaze over.
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
Keep up the great work, Gov. Pritzer. You are our next President. Do not ever back down. Good works plus strong defense against the gangster in our WH. Thank you.
Fascism centralizes power through nationalism, fear, and control: suppressing rights, media, and labor, elevating the military, fusing religion with state, and maintaining control via corruption, propaganda, and fake elections.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on reports that Trump plans to deploy the military in his state
“Do not come to Chicago” -JB Pritzker This is what we have been talking about, since 2020. Hit back harder. That’s how you win a fight. The entire Democrat party should be taking notes.
I am America. Mayflower descendant on my father's side, and of 20th century Finnish immigrants on my mother's side. And everything in between.
Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull: “When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occassions, he’s like the 12-year old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy.”
It’s been obvious after reading all the msm press, clearly pointed out to anyone reading the coverage.
Take it back!
From Russia Today's Telegram channel, this morning
"Newsom’s threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser has posted statement saying: “American soldiers and airmen policing American citizens on American soil is UnAmerican”
Besides all that, Putin will violate any agreement just as t does and will continue war until he reacquires all of former USSR. He must to stay in power. Get real! Ask Russians about putin’s goal
Civil war
How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.
Disgusting!
He is a slobbering slithering coward down to his very core of being
The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation. They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank. Don’t fall for it.
He is an old slobbering coward and is complicit in the deaths of Ukranian men, women, children. Russian media mocks him daily.
Do not play, do not get sucked in. Tell them you voted for trump before you ask for badge number. Be smarter.
Dad-8228 you are one sick MF yourself, he is imitating him for surez
We don’t want someone who imitates trump. We want competent, effective leadership
We're the wealthiest nation on earth. We don’t need “austerity” or tax breaks for billionaires. We need policies that benefit working families, not just the 1%. NOW is the time to EXPAND health care, INVEST in public education and BUILD low-income and affordable housing.
Owls are so adorable… 🥰 Thank you for saving this little one’s life… ❤️
Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia. Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
Trump sent officials to see Ghislaine Maxwell quicker than he sent FEMA to Texas
If Trump pardons Ghislaine Maxwell, "he's pressing a big bomb to blow himself up. But, he's thoroughly capable of doing it. He's a moral maggot, who has absolutely no capacity for shame, or empathy, or remorse—all he cares about is what he thinks will get him to the next day."

He hopes to activate the racism of his base and get them salivating over his threats to arrest Obama. He is true to his core character - a lowlife racist conman thug high on power but running scared.
“Critics warn of risks to campaign finance integrity and tax fairness.” As if this isn’t already way past “risk” status. It is in full destruction mode. Happening now.
This how dumbed down democrats snd “liberals” and “progressives” have become. They defend a stand up comic, cynic, entertainer as it makes a difference. A sad distraction from real important things happening. Living in a trance.
Sexual assaulters stick together and have each other's backs.
He gave Putin 50 days to destroy Ukraine completely. Watch for the increased attacks. Then he can say, “I tried.” All part of the collusion. Same with Gaza. Genocides both.
That IDEA has been around for quite some time now. See Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) www.ed.gov/laws-and-pol... although It may be going away soon, considering the destruction of our educational system by the kleptocracy.

Holocaust Survivor Bernard Marks, 87 survivor of Auschwitz & Dachau confronting elected sheriff & I.C.E. Director
Trump described the Texas floods as a 'giant, giant wave' that the 'best surfers in the world would be afraid to surf,' (yes, he did). His own simple mindedness has led to his base consuming information as if it's all cartoons and crayons. The dumbing down of America and the news, is out of control.
Trump’s life without his father’s money.
He is too ignorant to know that.
The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
Sooooooo corrupt.
the swamp expands
26 of the 31 states that were won by Trump last year have homicide rates higher than New York City's. Mississippi's rate is about 4 times NYC's rate. Alabama's rate is about 3 times NYC's rate. But you don't hear the Trump regime talking about crime in the GOP-run states of Mississippi and Alabama.
The actual job of the federal Transportation Department is to make public transportation safe for citizens, but he wouldn’t know that.

Dementia at work once again in his addled brain.
My guess is all of these (1) poll 90/10 against the cuts, and (2) a good half third of the nation or more, perhaps well over 50%, and >75% of Trump supporters, just won't believe it's happening no matter what.
There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US. Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them? Or just the brown people?
Authoritarian regimes don’t just target institutions. They target those who belong — and those who don’t. They divide societies into “real” and “other.” open.substack.com/pub/trygveol...
The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.
These are the very worst people the US has ever produced: Trump, Miller, DeSantis. No one deserves this and especially not the people ICE is sweeping up.
“A systematic pattern has emerged: shakedowns of law firms, business corporations, and media companies for the enrichment of Trump, his family, and his political allies,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social:
"Vladimir Putin is not looking for a cease-fire, and he does not want to negotiate. Why? Because he believes that he can win. Thanks to the actions of the U.S. government, he still thinks that he can conquer all of Ukraine" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.
25 dead so far across Texas from flooding. Local authorities are blaming poor forecasting. It’s all so tragically predictable and criminally negligent.
When experts warned for months that the NWS “is being destroyed” by Trump’s personnel cuts, Howard Lutnick assured Congress that forecasting won’t be affected. Now TX officials are blaming a faulty forecast by NWS for the deadly impact of a storm. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans. This is Washington at its worst. We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Thanks so much @hcrichardson.bsky.social for consistently presenting the historical facts. This is Trump to a T: destroy education to keep people dumb while investing in detention facilities all over the country. Sounds a lot like that dictator from Germany in the 1930s.
Trump's "God Bless the USA" Bibles were printed in China despite his anti-China trade rhetoric. Around 120,000 copies were shipped, costing under 3 dollars to make and sold for 59.99 each. Critics called it blasphemous and noted the irony in its origin.
Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s former press secretary, told The View that Trump admired Vladimir Putin’s power to “kill whoever,” describing him as both fearful and in awe of Putin’s authoritarian control.
Most use terms like the political "left' and 'right' clueless what they mean. See why the 'right' is skeptical of human-designed Progress and those 'left' tend to believe in human redesign. Elsewhere I explain what Marx, Hayek and Adam Smith ACTUALLY said. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2025/06/oh-t...
Thom Tillis is reminding us that every Republican despises Trump, but they are all so beholden to his base that they will spend their political lives falling prostrate before him, even knowing the irreparable harm they are doing. They are all traitorous cowards.
Doesn’t that money fund state-sponsored terror— such as Shia Militia Groups. Or, to kickstart a nuclear program that still has capability (because we did not destroy it) This goes against our entire security posture regarding Iran. This is nuttery. Why did we bomb then?
Congratulations, the universe sent you this dog because you have been chosen. Joy awaits. 13/10

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
