How brave can he be? Take the weapons away and let's see how brave?
An independent journalist issued a dire warning on Sunday about President Donald Trump's future plans for the military.
Priest kneels in prayer to block ICE detention vans—using body as shield until dragged away. 3 protesters were arrested at the morning prayer protest—trying to stop transport of detainees. This is same facility that denied access to 4 members of Congress who went to inspect conditions in June.
Sounds like a concentration camp.
Additional local reporting on the inhumane treatment of ICE detainees at Broadview. 👇 "They don't have showers. They don't have beds. They don't have kitchen facilities. It's not meant to be a processing center. That is really all it is. It's not meant to hold people for longer than 12 hours."
Why am I not surprised by this?
One of the smartest creatures on earth. Never created wmds.
All that glitters
Before and after: Trump’s extreme goldening of the Oval Office
Looks like crime pays when a crime boss is the dictator and his cronies are in every branch of government. Not a swamp but a sty, a toxic landfill.
J.B. Pritzker is 100% right. Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.
I loved this scene!
I have never voted for a gop candidate. Their position was known to me 50 years ago.
I fully support their union and their unionizing.
THIS is a #LABORDAY story!!
That was his sole purpose and the fools that follow him get giddy thinking he's their golden calf.
Signed sealed delivered
So the photos we get of the “golf outing” today is a pale and feeble looking one of him getting to a car at the WH and this one of him returning. Nothing from the course.
#ProudBlue www.linkedin.com/posts/drmart... This is what can happen when greed is not involved. People, we just have the WRONG leaders leading us. Society’s interest should not be to profit, but for the betterment of mankind. Who’s benefiting now, the wealthy. Why? When humanity can thrive?
Why would maga dabble in honesty?
5729 mass shootings. Of the over five thousand mass shootings, five were trans. That is 0.09%. There is a trans mental health problem in our country. Trans people are hated just for existing. The violence against them is rising, when it was already high to begin with.
AND children!!!
I don't see that as a problem. I see it as a savings.
I think we can show him the compassion that ice shows daily to the people they illegally arrest and terrorize.
Let's all do what we can to encourage smokers to quit & others to never start....
That is where the propaganda is revealed. it is where the owners of these papers show their allegiance.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
I like the rebrand.
He hopes to lean in hard on his supreme corruption of the unraveled states (scotus) and the gang of 6 within get squeeze the results he desires.
Oh, Andy Borowitz. What a gem you are.
Yes! We just crossed 1,000! Let's keep it going! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Good news, Sunday! 🎁 wapo.st/47SlsjY
TRUMP just now: “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE” Are you guys buying this? Because I’m not. His account has posted over a dozen times in the last hour. Someone’s overcompensating for him. What are they hiding? We deserve proof of health, not just a grainy photo of a man looking like a stroke victim.
Make the ice agents become field workers!
Take action and call your reps & senators. This is why prices have gone up for fresh fruits & vegetables - we've lost so many of the only people willing to do this work. And no one is stepping in to take those jobs.
After Hurricane Katrina, many New Orleans charter schools united in a mission to send more students to college. Today, some of those students, now adults, wish they'd been given more options.
"They're takin' our jobs!" has NEVER been true. It's a lie to make US-born people resent immigrants and get them to support harsh, cruel, anti-immigrant measures. No US-born citizens are rushing to fill the jobs undocumented people were doing.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?
But we are now a fascist state. Much worse for human lives and the planet...

Anything to justify a full military takeover. Plus, when those folk tank the economy, the money does not disappear, it goes to the people who bet against the economy. Think the too big to fail moment in history when a few people made billions when the real estate failed and the banks.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Buying his way into the pearly gates! Ha...
Appeasing the neo-nazi constituents with more revisionism.
"Upgrade?" The Felon Administration is putting pressure on the Holocaust Museum to 'upgrade' the US response to Nazi Germany during WW2. They will whitewash the awful part of history when America turned away fleeing Jews. Many had to return, resulting in death.😢✡️ abcnews.go.com/US/upcoming-...
Great conversation with @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social for ‘On Democracy with FPWellman’ tonight on @meidastouch.com! Catch it now! www.youtube.com/live/Ql-PEkV...
Donald Trump on Saturday taunted the governor of Illinois, saying, "We're coming.
The military take over of the nation is in full swing. Tax payers are paying for their own occupation while the tech bros and billionaires get front seats.

Indeed it was...
Wasn't it Russ vought that said, "we're going to terrorize the workers"!?? I believe it was! It's all part of the #Project2025 playbook. These are horrendous creatures and they mean us all harm. Be as courageous as you can and PUSH THE FUCK BACK! 👊🏼👊🏾
People: we are often blinded by our own arrogance of opinion and self-righteousness. Also, many I know personally think both parties are owned by nefarious rich people and corporations and believe there other candidates are not. I bet reasons about.
Traitors get the treatment so we have a long line of them running/ruining the nation now.
They have a long list of scapegoats. They cannibalize when they run out their list.
Kari Lake, a Trump ally now serving as acting chief of the agency that oversees VOA, posted on X that layoff notices were issued to 532 staff members.
The Trump administration announced that it plans to dismiss nearly all remaining employees at Voice of America, escalating tensions with a federal judge who had previously blocked efforts to overhaul the government-funded broadcaster.
There's some "independents" that just might fit that bill.
Cloak is gone, but not the dagger.
Learning takes decision making.
I have a practice that brings about inner peace. It is shared with community as well as practiced daily. I wish you inner peace and compassion. May we all be well one day...
But is very thin skinned...
Freedom and free to be dumb collide.
That is known, more a rhetorical point.
Always ready and I bring family and friends...
A dictator rewriting history will never make America great again open.substack.com/pub/politics...
I'd say maga was more born of the church and it being wed to tech is just a marriage of convenience. the tech bros are anything but religious. They manipulated and capitulated as needed to get to their sinister and nefarious goals. I am off to go help do kindness now. Be well...
We know he doesn't, it is part of his brain salad ranting.
🚨He told us you’d never have to vote again if you elected him in ‘24. When are people going to start believing who Trump is when he tells us? Maya Angelou taught us something about that.
🚨After having a skull fracture from a flash bang, this patriot returns to the streets after being hospitalized for weeks — because she is fighting the fascist takeover of our country. THIS is what democracy in action looks like. 🚨
This legacy lunatic in a suit just makes things up out of thin air and helps sow doubt to keep the uneducated confused and suspicious. He needs prison time is what he needs.
Glad you mentioned nixon. All this seems to be the revenge of the rich and gop for trying to impeaching him. He resigned in disgrace and that helped create the current state. Each new incarnation, tea party, freedom caucus etc. has led us to this place in time.
Spinning traitor worship as hero worship
The erosion of basic principles like due process and the expanding use of our military on domestic soil puts the liberties of all Americans at risk, and should concern democrats and republicans alike.

Cause and effect is a problem for the mouthpiece.

Indeed, but the way our elections work, there is no test for being virtuous, intelligent or for that matter, being devious, hateful, racist,or corrupt. We take our chances with humans who crave power to enter the arena. On the ground, what I do matters and I figure you as well. We make a difference.
The Trump administration says they're the "most transparent" in history. But when I asked the Department of Homeland Security who writes their social media posts, something extremely weird happened: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
The one thing Louisiana is good at, murder. Wow, I hope no one is saying it is good to be at the top. Where's the national guard? Maybe Memphis needs them as well?
The legalization of pedophilia.
Never lived in low income housing, legacy made...
Orange monkey.
Considering the take over of the nation by a crime boss, we now have one branch of government. It's like the method of screaming and shouting over people interviewed on fox by the hosts. The minority has a majority of the money and their pov wins the screaming match.
Why are we putting children through this trauma.???
Looks like more thoughts and prayers...
Republicans are always the first to say we need to address mental health after a mass shooting, but they never follow through. It’s just lip service. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
I think it is the same reason a person with serious mental issues is the dictator. Maybe our nation has too many people with serious mental conditions voting?
📌Republicans are to blame for the slaughter of our children in our schools. Repeat: 📌REPUBLICANS ARE TO BLAME FOR THE SLAUGHTER OF OUR CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOLS. Stop getting it twisted ...
Guns were invented with one sole purpose and that was to kill. They are lethal force machines and anyone who sees them as a force of good uses faulty logic. Embracing things that are used to end life promote murder, not peace.
