Well, we're back at this subhuman bullshit, with the statement made by Dump, that us Blue state folks are uncivilized and he's going to teach us how to be. Unless he was talking about Black Americans either way, Dump has some unmitigated Chimp Neanderthal hybrid ass nerve to call anyone uncivilized

So now that asshole has promised Argentina 40 billion dollars, instead of just the 20 billion.

And we are ENRAGED about this?

Cut services to Americans to bail out investors in Argentina’s stupid ideas!!

It’s unreal!!

SPECIAL: We got this conversation up as fast as possible because Tim Snyder's analysis of the Trump administration's agenda and methods is so important. Also: Why No Kings matters, and what’s at stake in Ukraine. This is, if I may say so, a must-watch.

You might think a clerk’s taunt is harmless, but the analysis shows a pattern: extremist chats, public praise for violence, and a 75‑year history of far‑right killings. It’s a warning, not a joke.

JFC! What will it take?

I can’t believe Trump just promised Argentina another $20 billion, bringing the total to $40 billion.

American farmers better be paying attention and rethink their unwavering support for the man.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

He's defending them because he agrees with them. He knows 20-40 year olds are not "kids who made a mistake". He's playing it down because he sees nothing wrong with what they said.

Not reposting the nonsense from the right about how Saturday's march is ANTI-AMERICAN! SOROS-FUNDED!

What they're saying is so nonsensical that it reeks of desperation.

They're scared of a simple display of mass opposition.

Bring your American flags, folks.
It's a pro-America, pro-democracy march

We are currently in a state of emergency, and under siege, here in Chicago.
ICE is a lawless, violent gang whose abuses of innocent men, women and children have gone completely unchecked.

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 1d

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

This is the violence being perpetrated on our city this morning.
The threat to peace isn’t the people who live here and call Chicago home- it’s the people who don’t.
